Minuet in C-sharp minor for piano solo, by French composer Maurice Ravel. (year composed 1904?)
Joseph-Maurice Ravel (7 March 1875 - 28 December 1937) was a French composer known especially for his melodies, masterful orchestration, richly evocative harmonies and inventive instrumental textures and effects. Along with Claude Debussy, he was one of the most prominent figures associated with Impressionist music. Much of his piano music, chamber music, vocal music and orchestral music is part of the standard concert repertoire.

N.B. Sorry if I haven't uploaded any video sooner. I am busy with studying for my finals exam, so that robbed me of time to make any. :(

Literally everything Ravel wrote is just perfect. I have yet to hear a bad and unenjoyable Ravel piece.

Frontispice might get you unenjoyed, but when you know why Ravel composed it, you get to enjoy Ravel better than ever

@백승민 I actually love Frontispice, the ending chord sequence reminds me of Messiaen. I always thought it was a cool piece because it's completely different from anything Ravel wrote. With that being said, what's the reason behind him writing it? I wasn't aware that there was a reason

this piece is new to me! I thought he composed only 3 minuets for piano solo but this is another one

I believe there's actually five in total: this one, the minuet from Sonatine, the Menuet (sur la nom de Haydn), the Menuet Antique, and the Menuet from Le Tombeau de Couperin. He also orchestrated the Menuet Antique and the one from Le Tombeau.

I'm learning this Minuet right now. I can tell you that at 0:31 it should be D#, but it's playing D♮. I don't know who's right, but D♮ sounds better

Just downloaded the sheet music today. So, this is a new miniature piece (for me) and it is a gem. Very nicely played. I might have added just a few small pauses.

Sally House Heinsohn Note that the score on IMSLP is different then what’s performed for some bars, also in Chamayou’s performance. I don’t know where the eiditon they used can be found so just take what you like from either.
