- 1.Borodine (Valse)
- 2.Chabrier (Paraphrase sur un air de Gounod, Faust, 2e acte)
This brief piece, together with "A la maniere de Borodin", was Ravel's contribution to an anthology by Alfredo Casella of pieces written in the style of other composers. Written in 1913, this was an homage to a composer much admired by Ravel. The piece is a paraphrase on a theme that appears in Gounod's "Faust". It evokes the elegant style of Chabrier in a waltz with lots of rubato with a subtle touch of melancholy.
