Description

Maurice Ravel pens a familiar bar from his classic work Bolero

Highly influential French composer (1875-1937) who remains unsurpassed in his imaginative use of instrumental color in his operas, brilliantly scored orchestral music, and virtuosic piano pieces. Scarce AMQS on a light green 4.5 x 6 album page, signed neatly below in fountain pen, “Maurice Ravel,” who above adds two measures from his best-known piece, the 1928 orchestral work Bolero. Collector’s notation to the left edge dates the signature to June 13, 1933. In fine condition, with faint toning from prior display. Accompanied by a book photo of Ravel with a facsimile signature. A scarce and sought-after musical quotation of this 20th-century classic.
