Ravel himself said of Le Tombeau de
Couperin that it was ' a tribute not so much to Couperin himself as to eighteenth-century French music in general. Completed in 1917, and originally designed for the piano, the Suite consisted of six pieces, each of which was dedicated to the memory of a friend killed in the war.
