Today's program is inspired by dance and movement.
I have drawn ropes from bell
tower to bell tower; garlands from window to window, golden chains from star to
star, and I dance. -
Arthur Rimbaud
Pavane pour une infante défunte Maurice
Ravel
"I have but thought, assembling the words in the title, only about the
pleasure of making alliteration... " Ravel
Well-known in its orchestral version, Ravel's Pavane was first written
for the piano. Ricardo Viñes premiered the piece in Paris in 1902 and it is
dedicated to the Princesse Edmond de Polignac.
The Pavane, after the Spanish word pavo
(the peacock), is a solemn court dance. Mara Dobresco
