The Enchanted Garden (also known as Le Jardin Féerique) is the concluding movement of a suite originally published as a piano duet, but which became better known in the composer's orchestral version.
Ravel originally wrote Ma mère l'Oye as a piano duet for the Godebski children, Mimi and Jean, ages 6 and 7. Ravel dedicated this work for four hands to the children (just as he had dedicated an earlier work, Sonatine, to their parents). Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony premiered the work at the first concert of the Société Musicale Indépendante on 20 April 1910.
