1. Moths / "Noctuelles"

2. Sad Birds / "Oiseaux tristes"

3. A Boat on the Ocean / "Une barque sur l'océan"

4. The Jester's Morning Song / "Alborada del gracioso"

The fourth piece of the five-movement suite Miroirs. This piece is imbued with Spanish sentiment, frequently employing rhythms from Spain, the homeland of Ravel's mother, and featuring imitations of Spanish guitar, with its title also written in Spanish. Brilliant performance techniques, such as irregular, energetic rhythms, rapid repetitions, and double glissandos, are effectively presented within its rich and exotic expression.

5. The Valley of Bells / "La vallée des cloches"
