An Italian critic has said that in Ravel's music ' there lurks a shadow, in every melody there lies the whisper of hidden feeling, in every harmony the malice of a smile that has no touch of cheap irony but only the faint echo of a sigh. It is the irony and light-heartedness of a wise child, delighted by the vast spectacle of the natural world, happy in the fresh interest which everything holds tor him, from the passing flight of a bird to the nearby quivering of a green leaf.' We need go no further than the ' Mother Goose ' Suite to realise the truth of this.
