A piano suite known for being amongst the most challenging pieces ever written for piano, Ravel based this composition on poems of the same name by Aloysius Bertrand. Ondine depicts a water nymph seducing her observer. Le Gibet depicts a man hanging in the gallows at sunset with church bells ringing in the background. Scarbo represents a demon being mischievous in his nighttime adventures.

Highly recommend you listen to this as well. Une barque is an utterly gorgeous piece.
