Virtuoso piece in the style of a Hungarian rhapsody thus reads Ravels entry on Tzigane in the so-called Autobiographical Sketch. Composed in 1924, there are three versions of this work: with piano, with orchestra and with lutheal, a device for keyboard instruments to extend the timbre. Tzigane was inspired by the Hungarian-English violinist Jelly dAranyi, to whom Ravel had already promised a virtuoso piece in 1922 following Franz Liszts Hungarian Rhapsodies. Work progressed slowly anddAranyi only received the music four days before the premiere but sh e still gave a brilliant performance.
