Mauri ce Ravel seems to have been particularly attracted to the musical atmosphere of Vienna. Between embarking on a work in 1906 which was to be called Wien, and completing it in 1920 as La Valse, in 1911 he wrote the Valses nobles et sentimentales for piano. He then orchestrated the Valses in 1912, which at the same time became a ballet with the title of Adelaide ou le langage des fleurs.

Ravel needed only two weeks of intensive concentration to orchestrate his piano suite Valses nobles et sentimentales, which was given its premiere performance in March 1911. Consisting of seven waltzes and one epilogue, the work stamped Ravel as a creative personality whose masterpiece breathed an unbelievably new kind of musicality and incredibly intensive poetry. Let us not forget that this was twelve years before La Valse, with which it shares a number of similarities. The new edition of the complete performance material in Breitkopf's Urtext series was prepared by the Ravel expert Jean-Francois Monnard.A l'exemple de Schubert - Ravel re-invents the waltz, inspired by Liszt, Chopin, Schumann and Chabrier, transforming the rhapsodic gyrations of the dance and sending it whirling into the 20th century.
