Professor Robert Greenberg included this in his course on the 23 Greatest Solo Piano works, explaining that Ravel was describing the gradual decline and fall of the Austrian Empire, composing this in 1911. Vienna was the home of the waltz in the 1800s, but as the world changed around it, the future looked grim. Compare this and “The Blue Danube,” and you will hear the difference. Well composed, and very well played!
Very fine interpretation, some bits of tasty waywardness, but in no way hobbled by mannerisms, as happens too often. France Musique, I'd like to hear more from this artist, s'il vous plait. Many thanks from Washington DC USA.

Oops, I think you're mistaking this for La Valse, which is also by Ravel!
