Description
Ravel was 30 years old in 1905 when he composed this work, which aroused great enthusiasm from its very first performance. Its concision set it apart from contemporary piano works, all still imbued with German post-Romanticism (Dukas, d'Indy, Franck). Truly modern, though classical in form, it participated in this revival of forms from the past (the central movement is a minuet!), a revival that Claude Debussy would, in turn, elevate a few years later with his last three sonatas (1915-1917).
