Ravel's Mother Goose ' Suite was originally written as a piano duet but later scored for orchestra. The Suite consists of five delicate little musical sketches of well-known fairy stories. Nowhere has Ravel shown himself more a master of delicate orchestral effect than in this Suite, the music of which is full of charming melodic invention and subtle suggestiveness.
