Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) was a French composer of classical music best known for his innovative piano pieces and orchestral works like _Bolero_ and _Daphnis et Chloé_. Sometimes called an 'impressionist' composer, much was made of a practically non-existent rivalry with Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Ravel's work is most renowned for its complex yet sophisticated and precise orchestration.
