Initially given five folksongs from which to choose, Ravel supplied a piano accompaniment for them in only thirty-six hours. Having impressed those who supplied the original five, three more were produced, which Ravel also quickly set to piano accompaniment, in a style imitative of the Mediterranean lands, but remaining distinctly French in its execution. The five melodies in this collection were selected from those eight. Ravel had started orchestrating all five as well, completing two, leaving Manuel Rosenthal to complete the the remaining three.

For the sight-reading portion of the exam, he offered the charming Petite Pièce. But for the core part of the exam, he composed Première Rhapsodie, L. 116, CD. 124, a work that demands great technical skill and musicality from the soloist. The work was dedicated to the professor of clarinet at the Paris Conseratory from 1904-1918, Prospère Mimart, and it was Mimart who premiered the work on January 16, 1911, with M.G. Kriéger at the piano. Quickly recognized as a masterpiece, performances with the piano accompaniment quickly began to appear on programs. Debussy was so pleased with the reception that he orchestrated the piano part in 1911, and the work has remained a staple of the repertoire for clarinet and orchestra since.

A symphonic poem based on Stéphane Mallarmé’s poem L’après-midi d’un faune, the work is simultaneously among Debussy’s most famous, a masterpiece of Impressionist composition, and a turning point in the history of Western music. Mallarmé’s poem depicts a faun playing his panpipes who fails in his amorous pursuit of some passing nymphs, then lays down to sleep after the effort to maybe recapture it all in a dream. While not a tone poem in the strict sense, it does evoke the erotic feeling of the text. It Includes one of the most well-known orchestral flute solos in the repertoire, and the music was set to a short and highly controversial ballet in 1912 by famed dancer Vaslav Nijinsky.

A symphonic poem based on Stéphane Mallarmé’s poem L’après-midi d’un faune, the work is simultaneously among Debussy’s most famous, a masterpiece of Impressionist composition, and a turning point in the history of Western music. Mallarmé’s poem depicts a faun playing his panpipes who fails in his amorous pursuit of some passing nymphs, then lays down to sleep after the effort to maybe recapture it all in a dream. While not a tone poem in the strict sense, it does evoke the erotic feeling of the text. It Includes one of the most well-known orchestral flute solos in the repertoire, and the music was set to a short and highly controversial ballet in 1912 by famed dancer Vaslav Nijinsky.

Although he played a bit coy when asked the question, many believe that Strauss had cast himself as the hero given the numerous musical references to his own previous works and his acknowledgement that the violin solo depicted his own wife. This likely self-reference was described by one critic as \"a monstrous act of egotism and as revolting a picture of this revolting man as one might ever encounter. He is, then, honest.\" But Strauss' swipe at his critics in \"The Hero's Adversaries\" section, where he portrayed them unflatteringly with both chattering woodwinds and leaden brass shows that he took his critics' dislike for him in stride. While the work is through-composed, it originally had six titled sections: 1. The Hero, 2. The Hero's Adversaries, 3. The Hero's Companion, 4. The Hero's Battlefield, 5.

Also, flattered by famed violinist Eugène Ysaÿe's interest in his music, Debussy began in 1894 to rework his plans for his Twilight Scenes for solo violin and orchestra, now titled Nocturnes, and this time based after a series of paintings by American James McNeill Whistler. This first version of Nocturnes was abandoned when Ysaÿe would not commit to the performance. By 1897, having opted to remove the solo violin, Debussy began to write the piece as a work in three movements for full orchestra. Like Whistler's paintings, also entitled Nocturnes, this impressionistic orchestra work depicts studies in light and shade, landscapes and objects. Debussy even provided an introductory note to his Nocturnes, relating the influence of the paintings, and how he used their reliance on light, mystery, and impression to inform his music. The first two movements premiered at the Concerts Lamoureux in Paris on December 9, 1900, Camille Chevillard conducting. The female choir was unavailable for that performance, so the final movement was excluded. The first complete performance took place on October 27, 1901. Movements: 1. Nuages (Clouds); 2.

Although he played a bit coy when asked the question, many believe that Strauss had cast himself as the hero given the numerous musical references to his own previous works and his acknowledgement that the violin solo depicted his own wife. This likely self-reference was described by one critic as \"a monstrous act of egotism and as revolting a picture of this revolting man as one might ever encounter. He is, then, honest.\" But Strauss' swipe at his critics in \"The Hero's Adversaries\" section, where he portrayed them unflatteringly with both chattering woodwinds and leaden brass shows that he took his critics' dislike for him in stride. While the work is through-composed, it originally had six titled sections: 1. The Hero, 2. The Hero's Adversaries, 3. The Hero's Companion, 4. The Hero's Battlefield, 5. The Hero's Works of Peace, and 6. The Hero's Retreat from the World and Fulfillment.

Ravel began the work, a romance about the Greek goatherd Daphnis and the shepherdess Chloe, upon receiving a 1909 commission from famed Russian ballet impresario Sergei Diaghilev, and the premiere in 1912 included Vaslav Nijinksky and Tamara Karsavina in the title roles.

But for the core part of the exam, he composed Première Rhapsodie, L. 116, CD. 124, a work that demands great technical skill and musicality from the soloist. The work was dedicated to the professor of clarinet at the Paris Conseratory from 1904-1918, Prospère Mimart, and it was Mimart who premiered the work on January 16, 1911, with M.G. Kriéger at the piano. Quickly recognized as a masterpiece, performances with the piano accompaniment quickly began to appear on programs.
