The cycle, originally written for piano, with the movements Prélude, Fugue, Forlane, Rigaudon, Menuet and Toccata, is firstly a homage to the elegance, clarity, and imagination of its namesake, François Couperin, and moreover a work celebrating the humanity of friendship: each movement of the suite is dedicated to a friend of Ravel's who fell during the war.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRavel himself had served as a driver at the front and was deeply affected by the war years as well as by the death of his mother in 1917. Nevertheless, he deliberately chose a lucid musical language – for, as he later remarked, \"the dead are sad enough.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1919, he orchestrated four of the six movements – Prélude, Forlane, Menuet and Rigaudon – into a concert suite, which belongs among the finest, and, owing to the complexity of the Forlane, also the most peculiar, works in the orchestral repertoire for this instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Musikproduktion Höflich","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46413145079887,"sku":"MPH6176","price":38.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/60b697ce657761ca1b79d1f07d1e9007.jpg?v=1786744665","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/ravel-fugue-toccata-from-le-tombeau-de-couperin-arr-for-orchestra-hoflich","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
