Boléro is a one-movement orchestral piece composed by  Maurice Ravel and arranged here as a violin duet at the skill levels of early intermediate and intermediate level. While on vacation, Ravel played a melody for a friend and remarked, Don't you think this theme has an insistent quality? I'm going to try and repeat it a number of times without any development, gradually increasing the orchestra (volume) as best I can. Bolero for Two Violins is both fun to play and exciting to hear. .
