The original piece is an orchestral work, incorporating the image of a Viennese waltz. Initially, the title "Vienna" was considered. Ravel wrote not only the orchestral version but also versions for piano four-hands, two pianos, and solo piano. The splendid and magnificent atmosphere remains unchanged in the piano arrangements. Although the solo version has been establishing itself in performers' repertoires in recent years, its technical difficulty is extremely high.
