These high-quality piano accompaniment tracks help make practising more effective and enjoyable! They are recorded by a professional accompanist and can help you keep in tune and in time, as you play along to the piano part for this work.

Ravel composed his Pièce en forme de Habanera in 1907, originally as a vocalise for voice and piano although it has since been transcribed for many instrumental combinations. Its brief duration and exotic flavour mean it is popular within a short recital or as an encore piece.

There are 3 transcriptions provided here in different keys. This most often played is in G (which starts with 2 flats in the key signature and ends with 1 sharp), and arrangements for violin, cello and flute exist in this key. There are also piano tracks in D (suitable for flute) and C (clarinet and oboe), so hopefully at least one version should suit your preferred instrument.
