Composed in 1928 by Maurice Ravel (1875–1937) as a ballet for the Russian dancer Ida Rubinstein , Boléro has become Ravel’s most celebrated and instantly recognizable composition. Written in a single continuous movement, the piece builds hypnotically from the softest whisper of a snare drum ostinato and a simple, sinuous melody, to a breathtaking, full-orchestra climax.
