"When I put together the words that make up this title," he declared, "my only thought was the pleasure of alliteration." Because that remark did not circulate widely, the title (given here in its original language, to preserve that alliterative character) has been widely misinterpreted. The English translation, "Pavane for a Dead Princess," is accurate enough in the strictly literal sense (Infante being a French rendering of Infanta, the term for a princess of the royal house of Spain), but Ravel, in conceding that he did have a programmatic image in mind, made it clear that the piece "is not a funeral lament for a dead child, but rather an evocation of the pavane that might have been danced by such a little princess as painted by Veláasquez." In other words, the piece is not elegiac, but of the realm of fantasy and something close to nostalgia: a more apt rendering of the title in English might well be "Pavane for a Princess from a Faraway Time."
