Ravel's Valses were variously attributed to Kodaly, Satie, Chopin, and Gounod, among others, although apparently no one suggested Schubert. However, according to Ravel, 'a minute majority' correctly identified his music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following year, Ravel agreed to orchestrate the waltzes as a ballet score for which he supplied the title Adelaide  and the scenario a series of fleeting romantic encounters during a party in Adelaide's Paris salon. Adelaide is no longer staged, but Ravel's music, newly attired in shimmering orchestral colors, quickly found a home in concert halls.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Philip Huscher, 2010\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968679498022,"sku":"MPWQ190","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWQ190.jpg?v=1697517336","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/ravel-m-valses-nobles-et-sentimentales-part-iv","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
