The suite of five pieces was given its premiere in the original piano duet setting on April 20, 2010 in Paris by Jeanne Leleu and Genevi?ve Duron. The following year Ravel orchestrated the the five-movement suite, which still often performed in the concert hall and is the version offered here. Later in 1911, the composer decided to expand the work into a one-act ballet by adding two new movements (Pr?lude and Danse du rouet et sc?ne) and four interludes.
