## Caption

Ravel dedicated each movement of this piece to a friend he lost in WWI. When critics said it wasn’t sombre enough for a memorial, his response was simple: “The dead are sad enough, in their eternal silence.” In other words, this is a tribute that chooses to dance and celebrate instead. 🥹🕊️
