1600 Maurice Ravel - M.81 - Boléro

1600 Maurice Ravel - M.81 - Boléro

M. 81, Year: 1928
Genre: classical/Orchestral

Well, I've made to 1600. I wasn't too sure if I wanted to pick something fitting for this post or not being as it is so close to the New Year and all, but I happened to have this lovely piece of music on my mind and it seemed like a good choice.
This is yet another one of those classical pieces of music where you'll get that "I know that tune" feeling immediately upon hearing it; it has permeated popular culture quite a bit over the years. I absolutely love the percussion and brass throughout the piece; it's such a rousing tune.
Even though Ravel himself supposedly hated this piece it became his most famous and best remembered.

Hear Boléro on YouTube.
