    This document provides a listener's guide to Maurice Ravel's Bolero, breaking down the piece into 15 minute segments. It notes the instruments playing the primary melody at each segment, which is either melody A or melody B. Melody A is introduced by the flute at 0:25 and continues throughout the entire 18 minute piece in different instruments. Melody B is first played by the bassoon at 2:05. The piece gradually builds additional instruments over time, building intensity until a climax at around 15 minutes when it extends melody B, before resolving on C at the end played by massive brass and percussion.
