Bolero actually summarizes human life. Life is actually full of routines and repetitions. But if we can, we can color our monotonous lives by adding new sounds and breaths to them every new day, every new month. We can gradually improve the quality of our lives and make it amazing like Bolero.
@coreyfinn2554
at the time of bolero writing this song he was suffering from an illness which killed him as the spindle neurones in his brain unravelled and the illness caused him to heavily focus on repetition especially in the later stages of the disease. the song was a commission from a Russian dancer who i think was in a circus haven’t looked at the article for a year though, so unsure.

Fun fact: Boléro was going to be the title theme for the 1986 original NES classic video game: The Legend of Zelda, but the developers realized the composition had not yet entered the public domain, so series composer and legend Koji Kondo spent all night to rearrange the existing field theme into the now iconic title theme.

Ravel did suffer from neurodegeneration, but the symptoms appeared clearly around 1933. The bolero was composed in 1927 as an exercice, built on an ostinato. The piece became famous despite the fact that he considered it a simple experimentation, but in any case his mind was totally sane when he composed it.

What I love is that Bolero isn't really a musical piece, it is more of a hypnotic demonstration. It's delightfully simple in structure, predominantly set in the C major key save for the finale, and no dramatic change in tempo or rhythm, yet it's a mishmash of instruments that would be an absolute nightmare to put together. Yet if it's done right, you can point out each instrument clearly.
It really drives home how each instrument not only has a distinct voice, but a meaning. Nothing here is undervalued, they play to their strengths. From as soft as the celesta twinkling alongside the piccolo, to the jazzy and loud trombone melody solo, Ravel demonstrated that he completely understood and appreciated his instruments, and thus, he was a true master.
Oh, it's also nice to listen to.

Bolero started out as a ballet score commissioned by dancer Ida Rubinstein. Her troupe danced the composition's first performance at the Paris Opera in 1928. It was an instant hit.
Ravel, whose roots were in the Basque country on the French-Spanish border, originally called the piece Fandango. As romantic as it may seem, Ravel said the pulsing, rhythmic composition was inspired by one of the factories he had visited with his father, who was an engineer.
He keeps adding instruments, keeps changing the orchestration. But he doesn't change the tune, harmony, or the rhythm. Nothing changes except the orchestration and the volume.
Yet although Ravel considered Bolero one of his least important works, it has always been his most popular.

The repetition and lighthearted but tense sound really adds to how after the characters (and viewers) spent so much time in the whimsical digital world, the real world is the one which feels unfamiliar and like living a lie. It also gives the Digimon attacks and battles around Tokyo a dreamy air.

Before its first performance, I issued a warning to the effect that what I had written was a piece lasting seventeen minutes and consisting wholly of 'orchestral tissue without music' - of one long, very gradual crescendo."
