CHE Ravel è uno dei più grandi compositori di ogni tempo senza ombra di dubbio.

[ruslan.denshaev]

One of my Ravel' personal favorites. So much delicate beauty in such a simple realisation.

[emanuel_soundtrack]

love such examples of simplicity and high quality

[Iumine]

this is the last of ravels works and the last little bit says "don't disturb my slumber: i sleep"

[DanielAlvarezVeizaga]

Ronsard a su alma

Almita Ronsardita
pequeñita, dulcecita
muy querida huésped de mi corazón
desciendes allá debilcita
pálida, flaquita, solita,
al frío reino de los muertos
Siempre simple, sin remordimientos
de asesinato, veneno o rencor,
despreciando favores y tesoros
tan deseados por le comunidad.

Pasajero, dije, sigue tu fortuna,
No disturbes mi reposo, duermo.
