I could almost manage an intermediate level Ravel piece when I was a music student 45 years ago. After two miserable years of required music history, that piece (can’t recall what it was) was like a bridge that opened onto the twentieth century and I felt as though I had some understanding of the evolution of music from the classical to the modern period.

It was Sonatine, No. 1, “Modere”
Now I remember- I could almost manage it at a slower tempo.
