 | Maurice Rovel by Gerald Larner
The music of Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), from the monumental Le tombeau de Couperin to the rousing Bolero, has maintained its ability to delight throughout the twentieth century. Although brought up in Paris, Ravel`s Basque ancestry gave him a regard for Spain and its music that informed several of his most famous pieces. Gerald Larner`s beautifully crafted biography examines both the music and the man, looking at his emotional preoccupations and their effect on his work. Full of fresh insights, this book will add to our understanding of an enigmatic and intensely private composer. AUTHOR: Gerald Larner
