Ravel composed the piano duet, Ma mère l'Oye, in 1908 & 1910 dedicated to Mimi and Jean Godebski, ages 6 and 7. In 1911, he orchestrated the work as a ballet for chamber orchestra, and added several movements.

 

The piano 4 hands version from which this arrangment is made bears the subtitle "cinq pièces enfantines" (five children's pieces). Those movements are:
 

  • Pavane de la Belle au bois dormant: Lent (Pavane of Sleeping Beauty)
  • Petit Poucet: Très modéré (Little Tom Thumb / Hop-o'-My-Thumb)
  • Laideronnette, impératrice des pagodes: Mouvt de marche (Little Ugly Girl, Empress of the Pagodas)
  • Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête: Mouvt de valse très modéré (Conversation of Beauty and the Beast)
  • Le jardin féerique: Lent et grave (The Fairy Garden)
