Gaspard de la nuit and other piano pieces is a collection of solo piano works by French composer Maurice Ravel, with Gaspard de la nuit composed in 1908 and the other pieces drawn from his early to middle career. The music employs impressionistic harmonies, elaborate pianistic textures and vivid tone-painting that demand high technical virtuosity, reflecting Ravel's exploration of colour and form and marking a transitional phase in his piano output between his formative influences and his later mature style.
