Ravel - Oiseaux tristes

Sad birds (oiseaux tristes) call "in a very dark forest during the hottest hours of summer"

Sad and very beautiful. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) wrote this for solo piano as part of a set of five pieces called Miroirs in 1905.











So this was a very short post. Time is constantly against me at the moment - my second daughter Nina was born two weeks ago.
