Joseph Maurice Ravel was a 20th century French composer who was regarded as France’s greatest living composter in the 1920’s and 30’s. He completed 85 works, although many were unfinished or abandoned. His works included pieces such as Daphnis et Chloe, Rapsodie espagnole and Bolero, his most famous composition, which was a one movement orchestral piece. He wrote pieces for piano, chamber music, two piano concerti, ballet music, opera and song cycles. His style of music was impressionism. He and Claude Debussy were the two most influential and well-known composers in impressionism, although both of them rejected the term. They said that only imbeciles called it impressionism.
