In the style of BorodinMaurice Ravel

In the style of Borodin (Ravel) Ravel – À la manière de… Borodine – pianomaedaful

A refreshing waltz composed at the request of Alfredo Casella—composer of parody pieces after Richard Wagner and Claude Debussy, and a friend of Maurice Ravel.

As the title “in the style of Borodin” suggests, it imitates the work of Alexander Borodin, one of the Russian Five.

With its clear, catchy melody, it flows naturally as background music for work or study.

The piano sonorities, melding into landscapes in that uniquely Ravel-like way, offer soothing comfort to every listener.

Granados: Romantic Scenes “Epilogue” [15_Romantic Piano Pieces I Want to Play at a Wedding]

The graceful strains woven from Romantic music and Spanish folk traditions possess an elegance perfectly suited to adorn the solemn moments of a wedding.

Composed by Enrique Granados in 1904 as the concluding piece of his piano suite Scenes of Romance, this work displays a splendid harmony between the right hand’s sweet melody and the left hand’s arpeggios.

Its serene melody in E-flat major seems to gently enfold the couple’s hopes for the future.

A gem that fully showcases Granados’s delicate sensibility—he was also a recipient of France’s Legion of Honour—it provides an ideal atmosphere to accompany treasured moments such as the exchange of rings or the cutting of the cake.

Ma mère l’oye – Maurice Ravel

How about this piece, which draws you into a world of musical storytelling as if speaking to you, as BGM for work or study? It’s a suite composed by Maurice Ravel in 1908, consisting of five movements inspired by fairy tales and created as music for children.

Characterized by elegant, dreamlike sonorities, it showcases Ravel’s delicate musicality to the fullest.

First presented for piano four hands, it was orchestrated in 1911, adding even richer colors to its expression.

Each movement vividly portrays scenes from various stories—such as Sleeping Beauty and the Queen of the Pagodas—through music.
