拉威尔是一位管弦乐色彩大师。虽然他的创作体裁和某些作 品确与德彪西的印象主义风格相似，但某些作品更倾向于法国 式的现实主义风格，因此，他的音乐风格具有明显的多元性特 征。从拉威尔的诸多作品中，既可以体味法国民族传统音乐和 西班牙民间音乐对他的深刻影响，又可以感悟东方民族音乐和 爵士乐风格的韵味。他的和声是印象派的，并通过使用不常用 的和弦及扩展了的调式调性来达到作曲家本人在音响色彩上的 追求。他的旋律常具有一种调式倾向，节奏富于生活气息。在作 Ravel is an orchestra color master. Although his genre and certain works do indeed resemble Debussy’s Impressionist style, some of the works are more French-style realist, and therefore, his musical style has obvious pluralistic features. From many of Ravel’s works, he can not only appreciate the profound influence of French national traditional music and Spanish folk music, but also reflect the charm of oriental folk music and jazz style. His harmony is Impressionist and achieves the composer’s quest for audio color by using less commonly used chords and expanded modality. His melody often has a tendency to style, rhythm rich in life style. At work
