There's a big difference there. I never said I liked the "original" version of Bolero. I don't like any versions of Ravel's Bolero. The work I like and referenced is Moussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, which was written on and for the piano. Ravel later orchestrated the piano work and, in my opinion, turned it into something it was never meant to be.

It was written on a piano, but Ravel's intention was to produce an orchestrated dance piece. As in all things life, things changed. "It is usually played as a purely orchestral work, only rarely being staged as a ballet." In fact, "The piece was first published by the Parisian firm Durand in 1929.. Arrangements of the piece were made for piano solo and piano duet (two people playing at one piano), and Ravel himself arranged a version for two pianos, published in 1930." Seems that although he may have started out in one direction, he ended up in another. It was, in the end, first published for piano. Now go listen to some soft chamber music. |
