REMINISCING

This music perfectly captures 
the feeling of dreamy memories

Miroirs (French for "Mirrors") is a five-movement suite for solo piano written by French composer Maurice Ravel between 1904 and 1905. First performed by Ricardo Viñes in 1906, Miroirs contains five movements, each dedicated to a fellow member of the French avant-garde artist group Les Apaches. Les Apaches (or Société des Apaches) was a group of musicians, writers and artists which formed around 1900 in Paris, France. Members of the group included:

Édouard Bénédictus, painter, composer and scientist
Claude Debussy, composer and pianist
Michel-Dimitri Calvocoressi, writer and music critic
Maurice Delage, composer
Manuel de Falla, composer
Léon-Paul Fargue, poet
Lucien Garban, publisher and transcriber
Pierre Haour
Désiré-Émile Inghelbrecht, conductor
Tristan Klingsor, poet, painter, art theorist
Maurice Ravel, composer
Gomez de Riquet (an imaginary member)
Florent Schmitt, composer
Paul Sordes, painter
Igor Stravinsky, composer
Georges Mouveau , decorator
Ricardo Viñes, pianist

Movement III:
"Une barque sur l'océan" (in English "A Boat on the Ocean") was written for the French painter and set designer Paul Sordes. This piece recounts a boat as it sails upon the waves of the ocean. Arpeggiated sections and sweeping melodies imitate the flow of ocean currents. It is the longest piece of the set, and the second-most technically difficult.
