Ravel's Laideronnette, Impératrice des Pagodes | Composition & Orchestration Analysis

In this video I discuss the third movement of Maurice Ravel's 1910 work for piano 4-hands, Ma mère l'Oye (Mother Goose Suite). I analyze the composition and his 1911 orchestration, with the help of my orchestral mockup that features mostly VSL sample libraries.
