An older idea that Ravel had as early as 1906 was to compose a work titled \"Wien\" (Vienna) as a tribute to the Waltz King Johann Strauss II. Before any work was completed, World War I intervened, and Ravel composed nothing as he served as an ambulance driver at the front. He returned to the idea when famous impresario and founder of Ballets Russes, Serge Diaghilev, commissioned a new ballet from Ravel in 1919. Upon hearing a piano reduction of the new composition, however, Diaghilev referred to the work as a \"masterpiece,\" but rejected the work as \"not a ballet. It's a portrait of ballet.\" A young Francis Poulenc, who was in the room at the time, reported that, \"Ravel proceeded to give me a lesson in modesty which has lasted me all my life; he picked up his music quite quietly and, without worrying about what we all thought of it, calmly left the room.\" The rejection destroyed Ravel's and Diaghilev's relationship, and when they met one last time, Ravel's refusal to shake hands resulted in Diaghilev challenging the composer to a duel, though the Russian was talked down. Since its premiere in Paris on December 12, 1920, the work has found a regular home in the orchestra repertoire and was even staged as a ballet in the 1950s. But, despite Ravel's own attempt to put to bed the notion that the work is symbolic, many see a commentary on the post-war Europe after the war; a distorted version of a Viennese waltz that critiques Austro-German militarism and looks back at the world where the waltz dominated as a bygone era, one that the war destroyed. Whether a \"dance of death\" or what Ravel describes as just \"a dancing, whirling, almost hallucinatory ecstasy, an increasingly passionate and exhausting whirlwind of dancers, who are overcome and exhilarated by nothing but 'the waltz,'\" La Valse continues to have a place in the concert hall today.

Upon waking from sedation, he asked for a pencil and paper and began sketching out the melody.

Premiered by Tolbecque, who was closely associated with the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, France's leading concert society, at the Paris Conservatoire on January 19, 1873, this performance was perceived as a mark of Saint-Saëns' growing acceptance by the French musical establishment. Many composers, including Shostakovich and Rachmaninoff, consider this concerto to be the greatest written for cello, with the work solving the issue of balance by limiting the role of the orchestra more often to the background and to punctuating chords. Rather than three   seperate movements, the work is composed in three distinct sections with single musical ideas and themes running through the entire work, a decision likely inspired by conversations with Franz Liszt. Despite the tremendously demanding solo part, this remains a favorite of cellists and a regular work in the repertoire.

Originally conceived as an oratorio due to Saint-Saëns' admiration of such works by Handel and Mendelssohn, it was converted to an opera when the composer was convinced by a family member to abandon the less-used oratorio, designed to stage works with biblical themes, in favor of the more common and contemporary secular form. While composition began in 1867, consistent rejection by the French music world of any biblical stories used as a libretto caused numerous delays and spurts of abandonment of the project by the Saint-Saëns.  And when the work was completed in 1876, the 1877 premiere in Weimar was only able to take place due to the support of Franz Liszt.  Further interest around the world, including France, finally started to grow in the 1890s, leaving SAMSON AND DELILAH Saint-Saëns most performed opera today. The \"Danse Bacchanale,\" which takes place in Scene 2 of the third act, plays after Samson has been betrayed by Delilah and apprehended by his enemies, the Philistines.  The Philistines plan a sacrifice to their god Dagon, and the temple priests dance wildly to this savage \"Bacchanale\" as preparation.

An older idea that Ravel had as early as 1906 was to compose a work titled \"Wien\" (Vienna) as a tribute to the Waltz King Johann Strauss II. Before any work was completed, World War I intervened, and Ravel composed nothing as he served as an ambulance driver at the front. He returned to the idea when famous impresario and founder of Ballets Russes, Serge Diaghilev, commissioned a new ballet from Ravel in 1919. Upon hearing a piano reduction of the new composition, however, Diaghilev referred to the work as a \"masterpiece,\" but rejected the work as \"not a ballet. It's a portrait of ballet.\" A young Francis Poulenc, who was in the room at the time, reported that, \"Ravel proceeded to give me a lesson in modesty which has lasted me all my life; he picked up his music quite quietly and, without worrying about what we all thought of it, calmly left the room.\" The rejection destroyed Ravel's and Diaghilev's relationship, and when they met one last time, Ravel's refusal to shake hands resulted in Diaghilev challenging the composer to a duel, though the Russian was talked down. Since its premiere in Paris on December 12, 1920, the work has found a regular home in the orchestra repertoire and was even staged as a ballet in the 1950s. But, despite Ravel's own attempt to put to bed the notion that the work is symbolic, many see a commentary on the post-war Europe after the war; a distorted version of a Viennese waltz that critiques Austro-German militarism and looks back at the world where the waltz dominated as a bygone era, one that the war destroyed. Whether a \"dance of death\" or what Ravel describes as just \"a dancing, whirling, almost hallucinatory ecstasy, an increasingly passionate and exhausting whirlwind of dancers, who are overcome and exhilarated by nothing but 'the waltz,'\" La Valse continues to have a place in the concert hall today.

Composed in the aftermath of World War I, it premiered in October of 1919.

Composed in the summer of 1919, the first theme supposedly came to Elgar during a dangerous procedure to remove an infected tonsil. Upon waking from sedation, he asked for a pencil and paper and began sketching out the melody. The Cello Concerto did not achieve popularity until the 1960’s, where a recording by renowned cellist Jacqueline du Pré made it into a classical best-seller, driving a popularity that remains through today.
