Focusing on the collaborations between Maurice Ravel and prominent figures in ballet, Deborah Mawer highlights the significance of performance in Ravel's work. She argues that his extensive compositions can be interpreted as a balletic endeavor, shedding light on the artistic interactions in early twentieth-century Paris. This exploration contributes valuable insights to the understanding of cultural production and the interconnectedness of music and dance during this vibrant period.
