Question

Musical element of joseph maurice ravel and his basic related terms?

Answer 1

Answer:

Joseph Maurice Ravel (French: (7 March 1875 – 28 December 1937) was a French composer, pianist and conductor. He is often associated with impressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term. In the 1920s and 1930s Ravel was internationally regarded as France's greatest living composer.

Born to a music-loving family, Ravel attended France's premier music college, the Paris Conservatoire; he was not well regarded by its conservative establishment, whose biased treatment of him caused a scandal. After leaving the conservatoire, Ravel found his own way as a composer, developing a style of great clarity and incorporating elements of modernism, baroque, neoclassicism and, in his later works, jazz. He liked to experiment with musical form, as in his best-known work, Boléro (1928), in which repetition takes the place of development. He made some orchestral arrangements of other composers' music, of which his 1922 version of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition is the best known.

A slow and painstaking worker, Ravel composed fewer pieces than many of his contemporaries. Among his works to enter the repertoire are pieces for piano, chamber music, two piano concertos, ballet music, two operas and eight song cycles; he wrote no symphonies or church music. Many of his works exist in two versions: first, a piano score and later an orchestration. Some of his piano music, such as Gaspard de la nuit (1908), is exceptionally difficult to play, and his complex orchestral works such as Daphnis et Chloé (1912) require skilful balance in performance.

Ravel was among the first composers to recognise the potential of recording to bring their music to a wider public. From the 1920s, despite limited technique as a pianist or conductor, he took part in recordings of several of his works; others were made under his supervision.

Answer 2

" Musical element of joseph maurice ravel "

Explanation:

Introduction

• Joseph-Maurice Ravel was a French composer, pianist, and conductor who lived from March 7, 1875, until December 28, 1937.
• Along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, he is sometimes connected with impressionism, despite the fact that both composers rejected the name.
• Ravel was widely recognised as France's best living composer in the 1920s and 1930s.

Music

• The inventory of Marcel Marnat's complete works of Ravel includes eighty-five compositions, several of which are incomplete or abandoned. Due to his usual practise of creating works for piano and afterwards revising them as independent pieces for orchestra, despite the fact that it is minor in contrast to the output of his contemporaries that are prominent, Ravel's production is exaggerated.
• There are roughly sixty works that can be performed, with somewhat more than half of them being instrumental. Pieces for piano, chamber music, two piano concerti, ballet music, opera, and song cycles are among Ravel's works.
• A symphony and also a devotional composition was never composed by him.
