Music Sample and History



Ravel was kicked out of music school because he could not meet their competitive requirements. He later composed this pavane (slow dance) which became famous when he performed it with his music group, "The Apaches." (Classics for Kids.com Ravel). 

He gave memorable advice for choosing a tempo. 

"Remember that I wrote a pavane for a dead princess, and not a dead pavane for a princess!"

Impressionistic Music

"Impressionist music aims to create shifting moods and atmospheres by experimenting with timbre, orchestration, and harmonic concepts." Using the damper pedal can help you blend harmonies in this piece for a impressionistic effect.
