Contemporary composer Colette Mourey incorporates modern harmonic inflections into the traditional Boléro form. This piece is a modern homage to the dance, featuring neoclassical structural clarity mixed with contemporary tonal colors.
Pay close attention to the articulation markings to capture the modern, crisp style of the composition.
Comparable difficulty and character — good candidates for what to learn next.
Boléro is rated Henle level 4 of 9 — intermediate repertoire, roughly ABRSM grades 5–6. In the RCM system it corresponds to about level 6.
You should be comfortable at Henle level 4 — meaning you can already play level 3–4 pieces cleanly. Learning it one level early is possible as a stretch piece, but more than that usually leads to months of frustration.
A typical performance of Boléro lasts about 3 minutes.
Boléro is available as free public-domain sheet music on IMSLP — the score is linked directly from this page.
