How Ravel Writes for Orchestra

Maurice Ravel is one of the masters of orchestration, and in this video I look at his 'Alborada del Gracioso' which started life as a piano piece, but was then orchestrated by Ravel 15 years later. It gives us a great chance to look at how he goes about turning a 'black and white' idea into a full technicolor one.
