It's a very interesting piece. High musical-development at an extremely early age, many strong dissonances, and one of the few times Ravel has a marking to play very expressively.

I reminds me a lot of Alborada del Gracioso for some reason.

There is a reason actually. The opening chords are done in a very guitarish fashion, similar to the opening chords in the Alborada. The Serenade presents a smaller influence of Spanish music, but you can see it start to slip in.

I'd settle for a midi :)  Werner Haas's "Complete Piano Works" doesn't include this piece (or La Parade)

No midis have been made of this piece to my knowledge yet. Also, La Parade is an awesome work, think Gottschalk meets Chopin meets early Scriabin meets Salon Music. Very fun, I need to find the sheet music for this piece!
