Bolero - Maurice Ravel - André Rieu Boléro, as the work was renamed, lasts approximately 15 minutes, and repeats each of the theme's two parts 9 times in the same key, using different orchestrations to vary the texture and to create a gradual crescendo. (The pattern is AA BB repeated 4 times, and then a single repeat of AB, leading to the modulation which gives the piece its cataclysmic ending.)

from Le Tombeau de Couperin Performed by Emil Gilels free sheet music... http://freedomainlibrary.blogspot.com/ ********************************* It is in six movements. Each movement is dedicated to the memory of friends of the composer who had died fighting in World War I. Ravel himself served in the war as an ambulance driver and was wounded in the process. While the word-for-word meaning of the title invites the assumption that the suite is a programmatic work, describing what is seen and felt in a visit to the tomb of Couperin, tombeau is actually a musical term popular in an earlier century and meaning a piece written as a memorial. The specific Couperin (among a family noted as musicians for about two centuries) that Ravel intended to be evoked, along with the friends, would presumably be François Couperin "the Great" (1668-1733). However, Ravel stated that his intention was never to imitate or tribute Couperin himself, but rather was to pay homage to the sensibilities of the Baroque French keyboard suite. This is reflected in the structure which imitates a Baroque dance suite. As a preparatory exercise, Ravel had transcribed a Forlane from the fourth suite of Couperin's Concerts Royaux, and this piece informs Ravel's Forlane structurally. However, Ravel's neoclassicism shines through with his pointedly twentieth-century chromatic melody and piquant harmonies.
