Maurice Ravel (1875-1937), is the most important composer of Impressionism after Claude Debussy (1862-1918) in twenty century. Ravel¡¦s works can be found in many areas, such as orchestra music, operas, art song, chamber music, piano works and ballets. Miroirs, one of Ravel¡¦s outstanding piano works, was his early work full with Impressionistic style. This work includes five pieces: Noctuelles, Oiseaux tristes, Une barque Sur l¡¦Océan, Alborada del gracioso, La vallée des cloches.
This study contains three main sections: The first section is focus on the historical background which includes the relationship between Ravel and the French Impressionism, the usage of the Neoclassicism qualities and foreign musical elements. The second section is about the compositional background of Miroirs and the analyzing of the compositional technique and elements. The musical form, scale, mode, harmony, melody, meter and rhythm of Miroirs. The third section is primarily a discussion on the diversified tone changing of Ravel¡¦s work, and the usage of the pedal in Miriors. This investigation of Miroirs is undertaken to obtain a deeper understanding of Ravel¡¦s unique compositional technique and musical style, in order to interpret Miriors in the pertinent way.
