Rapsodie espagnole
''Rapsodie espagnole'' is an orchestral rhapsody written by Maurice Ravel. Composed between 1907 and 1908, the ''Rapsodie'' is one of Ravel's first major works for orchestra. It was first performed in Paris in 1908 and quickly entered the international repertoire. The piece draws on the composer's Spanish heritage, and is one of several of his works set in or reflecting Spain.
==Background==
The genesis of the ''Rapsodie'' was a Habanera, for two pianos, which Ravel wrote in 1895. It was not published as a separate piece, and in 1907 he composed three companion pieces. A two-piano version was completed by October of that year, and the suite was fully orchestrated the following February.〔Orenstein, p. 57〕 At about this time there was a distinctly Spanish tone to Ravel's output, perhaps reflecting his own Spanish ancestry.〔Goodwin, p. 4〕 His opera ''L'heure espagnole'' was completed in 1907,〔Kilpatrick, Emily. ("The Carbonne Copy: Tracing the première of ''L'Heure espagnole''" ), ''Revue de Musicologie'', 2009, pp. 97–135 〕 as was the song "Vocalise-Etude en forme de habanera".〔Orenstein, p. 54〕
In the interval between the composition of the original Habanera and the completion of the four-movement ''Rapsodie'', Claude Debussy had published a piano suite, ''Estampes'' (1903), of which the middle section, "Soirée dans Grenade", had a Spanish theme.〔 To counter any accusations of plagiarism, Ravel made certain that the date 1895 was clearly printed for his Habanera in the published score of the ''Rapsodie''.
The première of the ''Rapsodie'' was given by the Orchestre des Concerts Colonne, conducted by Édouard Colonne, at the Théâtre du Châtelet on 15 March 1908.〔 The critical reception was generally favourable. Dissenting voices were Pierre Lalo, who habitually disliked Ravel's music, and Gaston Carraud, who called the score "slender, inconsistent and fugitive". Otherwise there was much praise for the subtle and fresh orchestration and the picturesqueness of the music.〔Orenstein, p. 58〕 The work was soon taken up internationally. Henry Wood gave the British premiere in October 1909 to a capacity audience at the Proms,〔"Promenade Concerts", ''The Times'', 22 October 1909, p. 11〕 and the following month the work was first given in New York.〔("Philharmonic Society" ), ''The New York Times, 22 September 1909 〕
