Maurice Ravel, in his homage to Gabriel Fauré
utiliseses fetishes five notes (D-E-G-A-B) here heard
under (G, A, B, G, D, E, E, F, A, G, D, E - the name of
Gabriel Fauré). This is an opportunity to recall the
obsessive use of this group of notes declaimed at
length in the introduction of the Concerto for the Left
Hand, L'Heure espagnole, or L?Enfant et les
Sortilèges.
