Nice. I understand that there are some people who can listen to that
without thinking of Bo Derek. :-)

Yup, I'se one. I didn't know Bo Derek was in a movie named 'Bolero'
until just now. I'm wondering
where I was in 1984 when that came out. (I looked it up on You Tube.)
Hell, I was right here working
at the Army Personnel Center. Too damn busy to go to the movies, I reckon.


The "Bolaro" reference was originally from the movie "10".



Ravel was never on my favorites list, and he dropped even lower for
orchestrating and turning Modest Mussorgsky's lovely Pictures at an
Exhibition into a bombastic Herring piece.

Here's some Ravel that may be subtle enough for your delicate
sensibilities:

Funny. Ravel's version of Pics at an Exhibition is by far the most
played and recorded version. Somebody likes it.


Is Ravel’s orchestration a homage, a tribute, or a cover? I like it the way
the composer wrote it.

Seeing he was a pianist and wrote it for piano, this is the version you’d appreciate

No, Tim, Bolero was NOT written *for* the piano. Like many composers*,
Ravel composed on the piano, but the piece was not written for the
piano. It was written for ballet, to be performed by an orchestra.


*Mozart used the keyboard instruments of his day to noodle out his
notes, tunes, compositions.

Sure it was written for ballet. ON A PIANO.

You said you liked the “original� version which was written in piano so, there it is...

I know words aren't an area of expertise for you. You claimed Ravel
wrote Bolero for the piano. He did not. He wrote it on a piano. 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.

Here is the most famous performance of Pictures, by the incredible
Russian pianist Sviatoslav Richter:

Very nice! Richte does a nice job. In fact, he gets a bit 'bombastic' on that piano!

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.

The first recording was made by Piero Coppolain Paris[citation needed] for the Gramophone Company on 8 January 1930. The recording session was attended by Ravel.[7] The following day, Ravel conducted the Lamoureux Orchestra in his own recording for Polydor.[8]...�

Your wiki post doesn't mean the piece was written *for* piano. It was
written on a piano, but Ravel's intention was to produce an orchestrated
dance piece.
