Description

Early musical manuscript from Ravel, composer of 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. Lengthy unsigned musical manuscript, in pencil, on both sides of a 10.75 x 13.5 sheet of lined musical manuscript paper. Ravel pens 46 very intricate bars of an unidentified work, done during his early period at the Paris Conservatory. In fine condition, with scattered light toning and soiling, with a couple heavier areas of toning, none affecting legibility of the manuscript. RRAuction COA.
