Bolero
Add to calendarThe composer said himself, with an ironic twist of his mouth: “A piece for orchestra without music.” But what he did with the repeated melody is unparalleled. That this lingering motif has its own inherent value is demonstrated with all clarity in this arrangement where four celli and a snare drum carry the hypnotic melody all the way to its inexorable culmination.
