What's happening in the music?

Ravel’s piano music is sometimes delightfully light – imagine the sweetness and texture of candy floss. But that’s not all there is. His Gaspard de la nuit (The Treasurer of the Night) is aggressive and dark and an extraordinary feat of performance for even the most accomplished of pianists.
