Ravel, Maurice. (1875-1937). "Ma mère l'Oye" [Mother Goose] - Autograph Musical Quotation. AMusQS. (“Maurice Ravel”). 1p. Oblong 8vo. N.p., N.d. A quotation from "Ma mère l'oye" ["Mother Goose"] written on a 4.5 x 2.75 inch card, signed with the composer's name alone. Partial signature of Adolf Busch and mounting remnants on verso, otherwise fine and sold together with a vintage postcard portrait.
Ma mère l'Oye was originally composed as a piano duet for the Godebski children, Mimi and Jean, ages 6 and 7, and was dedicated to them just as he had dedicated an earlier work, the Sonatine, to their parents. Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony premiered the work at the first concert of the Société Musicale Indépendante on 20 April 1910. The piece was transcribed for solo piano by Ravel's friend Jacques Charlot the same year as it was published (1910) and both piano versions bear the subtitle "cinq pièces enfantines." In 1911 Ravel orchestrated the five-piece suite, and in this form it is most frequently heard today. Later the same year he also expanded it into a ballet, separating the five initial pieces with four new interludes and adding two movements at the start, and the ballet premiered on 29 January 1912 at the Théâtre des Arts in Paris.
