Ma mère l'Oye (English: Mother Goose, literally "My Mother the Goose") is a suite by French composer Maurice Ravel. The piece was originally written as a five-movement piano duet in 1910. In 1911, Ravel orchestrated the work.
Ravel first wrote the Mother Goose Suite in 1908 for two children whose parents he was friends with, in a four-hand suite for solo piano. The children, Mimi and Jean Godebski, were extremely fond of him since he told them fairytales, some of which he made up on the spot!

Whatever the authenticity of her origins, Mother Goose’s rhymes and fairy tales captured the imagination of the western world, and she is very much a part of our childhood. In 1908, the French composer, Maurice Ravel, wrote an exquisite piano suite for four hands based on Mother Goose tales.
Apr 22, 2021 · Ma mère l’Oye was originally written as a five-movement piano duet, between 1908 and 1910, for 2 children: Mimie and Jean Godebski. As it happened with many of his works, Ravel turned the piano version into an orchestral one.
Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) wrote Mother Goose (Ma Mère l'Oye) in 1910 as a duet for two young piano students, Mimi and Jean Godebski (the dedicatees), the children of his friends Cipa and Ida Godebski.
There are in fact several "versions" of his Mother Goose, and some clarification may be called for. The music began life in 1908 with the creation of a single movement for piano duet, Sleeping Beauty's Pavane. (Ravel's famous Pavane for a Dead Princess had been written nine years earlier, in 1899.)
