Compositor francés que influyó intensamente en la música del siglo XX. Junto con Debussy, es el gran representante de la moderna escuela musical francesa. Maurice Ravel fue el feliz autor de la ópera en un acto "La hora española", de 1911, que desarrolla su acción en la ciudad española de Toledo y es considerada como una de las obras líricas más logradas del siglo XX. Fue autor, igualmente, de la fantasía lírica "El niño y los sortilegios", estrenada con gran éxito en 1925.

Está considerado uno de los mayores compositores de todos los tiempos. De estilo es original y de una invención melódica rica y espontánea, fijó el esquema casi perfecto de la sinfonía y de la sonata clásicas e impuso la formación privilegiada del cuarteto de cuerda. Su estilo arranca del barroco tardío de Austria y Alemania del Sur, al que se añade la ópera bufa italiana, y evoluciona hasta el advenimiento del romanticismo, habiendo escrito los oratorios "La creación" y "Las estaciones", así como las "Sinfonías" de Londres.
