The piano was Ravel's favorite instrument, and of his two extraordinary concertos, the Piano Concerto in G major was, in his opinion, "more Ravelian." Indeed, the two works are profoundly different, but without being, as Vladimir Jankélévitch observed in his book about the composer, more (or less) Ravelian than the other. Nevertheless, Ravel's opinion should not be dismissed, for it reflects his personal predilection, and, as any listener can tell, the work literally ...

Piano Concerto in G major, written in 1929-1931.
00:00 - I. Allegramente
08:37 - II. Adagio assai
18:02 - III. Presto
The piano was Ravel's favorite instrument, and of his two extraordinary concertos, the Piano Concerto in G major was, in his opinion, "more Ravelian." Indeed, the two works are profoundly different, but without being, as Vladimir Jankélévitch observed in his book about the composer, more (or less) Ravelian than the other. Nevertheless, Ravel's opinion should not be dismissed, for it reflects his personal predilection, and, as any listener can tell, the work literally overflows with exuberance, delight, and verve. The Concerto may have been conceived in 1928, the year Ravel received his honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford. While some commentators have found the source of this Concerto in Ravel's Rhapsody on Basque themes Zazpiak bat, a project which remained unfinished, Robert de Fragny remembered that the composer had remarked that the dazzling opening theme came to him during a train ride from Oxford to London in 1928. In 1929, despite failing health, Ravel talked about a world tour on which he would perform his Concerto. While the world tour never materialized, the composer's life was sufficiently hectic, as he received a commission to compose another piano concerto, the Piano Concerto in D major (for the left hand).
Completed in November 1931, the concerto was premiered in January 1932, in a legendary performance by Marguerite Long. The sensations that this work conjures up, right from the beginning, are brightness and boundless energy.
- Opening with a whiplash sound, the first movement, Allegramente, proceeds rapidly, from an initial burst of light, composed of a lively piccolo tune threading through crystalline, harp-like piano figuration, to the incisive ending, traversing the many truly magical, even mysterious, moments of repose, when the piano indulges in dreamy, languid soliloquies. Delighting in the piano's expressive potential, Ravel fully employs the instrument's sonority, weaving, for example, a trill into a melody. The piano's rich and subtle discourse is magnificently matched by the orchestra, which, appearing in many guises, mimics and complements the piano, reinforcing the sensation of relentless energy by sharp, metallic, insistent statements by the trumpet. Ravel's splendid orchestration (like his "Daphnis and Chloe", uploaded on this channel), which tempts the listener to experience this work as a brilliant, and almost self-sufficient, demonstration of sheer musical color, reflects the composer's interest in jazz, evidenced by blue notes, trombone glissandi, and similar effects. However, the jazz elements are profoundly Ravelian, which means that they hardly strike the listener as out of context.
- The remarkable second movement introduces an introspective, soulful atmosphere, seemingly quite remote from the bustle of the previous movement. A simply stated solo piano theme, of a disarming yet profoundly soulful simplicity, suggesting, perhaps, the image of a solitary promenade in the moonlight, yields to a timeless flute theme which expresses feelings of longing, sorrow, and subdued, yet clearly stated, passion.
- The final movement, as the piano wends its way through a series of shrieks and wails, executed by woodwind and brass instruments, affects the listener as a mounting wave of sound. A sudden, abrupt exclamation concludes the seductive cacophony of this climactic movement, and the listener experiences a desire to revisit the enchanted landscape of a musical work whose limpid formal structure contains a seemingly boundless world -- without a trace of creative fatigue or ambivalence -- of elegantly turned musical ideas.
The concerto is dedicated "à Marguerite Long".

La composition du Concerto pour piano en sol majeur de Ravel est contemporaine de celle de son Concerto pour la main gauche, en 1929. Le premier est « solaire et turbulent », le second « sombre et désespéré », note le musicologue Nicolas Southon.
A la fois poétique, envolée et formelle, l’œuvre fait référence à deux maîtres du concerto pour piano. A travers son deuxième mouvement, Ravel s’inspire directement du Larghetto tiré du Quintette avec clarinette de Mozart, compositeur qui demeure sa principale référence en termes de forme. Il se nourrit aussi de la musique de Saint-Saëns, modèle de virtuosité et d’éclat pianistique, et de celle de Liszt, avec son Concerto pour piano n°1.
Classique par sa forme en trois mouvements (Allegramente, Adagio assai et Presto), l’œuvre n’en est pas moins extrêmement moderne par ses emprunts au jazz, en particulier dans les deux derniers mouvements. L’Adagio est « comme improvisé », il « fait usage de la blue note et rappelle le récent jazz symphonique de Gershwin. » Le Presto mêle quant à lui jazz et folklore dans une course effrénée entre le piano et l’orchestre.

Igor Stravinsky - Piano Concerto [Concerto for piano and wind instruments] [With score]
Composer: Igor Fyodorovich Stravinsky (17 June 1882 -- 6 April 1971)
Piano: Alexander Toradze
Orchestra: Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra
Conductor: Valery Gergiev

In the early 1920s, the recent war having wreaked havoc on his personal finances, Igor Stravinsky set about ensuring the future security of his family by exploring avenues of musical life more immediately lucrative.

In 1921, he fashioned three extracts from the ba...

0:00 Largo - Allegro - Maestoso
7:11 Largo

Programme notes by Steve Lacoste for the LA Phil:
When Stravinsky moved from Switzerland to France in June of 1920, the composer could little foresee the tremendous changes that were to occur in both his personal and artistic lives. In February 1921 he met the artist Vera de Bosset (Mme. Serge Sudeikin), who was to become his companion for 50 years, the first 18 of which caused the composer to lead a double life with regards to his wife and family. In the artistic realm, Stravinsky, now a Russian exile as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution, found himself in a Paris dominated intellectually by the French neo-catholic movement known as neo...

In the early 1920s, the recent war having wreaked havoc on his personal finances, Igor Stravinsky set about ensuring the future security of his family by exploring avenues of musical life more immediately lucrative. One result of this was a rich series of works featuring the pianoforte in a solo role, designed quite specifically with Stravinsky himself as the pianist. In 1921, he fashioned three extracts from the ballet Petrushka into the Trois Mouvements de Petrouchka for Arthur Rubinstein. Finding, however, that he could not successfully bring off so technically demanding a work, the composer made certain that all of his forthcoming pianoforte compositions lay well within the realm of his own technical capabilities. The Concerto for Piano and Winds was composed in 1923-1924 for performance at one of Koussevitzky's Paris Concerts. It is the first representative in a new line of works that would eventually reach into the last decade of his active life, though by the time of Movements in 1959, Stravinsky was no longer in a position to give the premiere himself. In addition, the concerto is the first large-scale concert work to put to use Stravinsky's "new" neo-Classical style. Since the premiere at the Paris Opera House on May 22, 1924, it has become one of his best-known and most dearly loved works.
Perhaps the most immediately striking aspect of the concerto, ignoring the strong affinities that the basic musical gestures have to those of the Baroque era, is the removal of the string section from the ensemble. Only the string basses remain, Stravinsky having decided that the same all-wind ensemble that he had already used in the Symphonies of Wind Instruments, the Octet, and, for all intents and purposes, the opera Mavra better complemented the timbre of the pianoforte.
The work is in three movements: 1) Largo - Allegro; 2) Larghissimo; and 3) Allegro. After the mock-grandiose, fundamentally Baroque Largo orchestral introduction, the piano enters with a rhythmically energized theme from which almost all the material of the movement is drawn in one way or another. Following the precedent set in his last few piano works, the piano is used in a very percussive manner. After a very long absence, sonata form, or something very like it, has returned to Stravinsky's bag of tricks in this movement. The Largo introduction comes back, much modified, as a coda. The piano begins the second movement alone, offering a lyric theme whose gentle steadiness is balanced by thick, ponderous chords beneath. Stravinsky makes room for two cadenzas as the movement unfolds. At the end of the final Allegro movement, the Largo introduction to the first movement is heard from again, only to this time fade away into a pause that suddenly bursts into the Vivo plunge to the final C major cadence. In 1950, Stravinsky made a revision of the concerto, making a few small changes of instrumentation and many more substantial alterations to the metronome and tempo markings; in the 1950 version, the title of the second movement has been changed from Larghissimo to Largo.

Programme notes by Steve Lacoste for the LA Phil:
When Stravinsky moved from Switzerland to France in June of 1920, the composer could little foresee the tremendous changes that were to occur in both his personal and artistic lives. In February 1921 he met the artist Vera de Bosset (Mme. Serge Sudeikin), who was to become his companion for 50 years, the first 18 of which caused the composer to lead a double life with regards to his wife and family. In the artistic realm, Stravinsky, now a Russian exile as a result of the Bolshevik Revolution, found himself in a Paris dominated intellectually by the French neo-catholic movement known as neo-Thomism, based upon the tenets of medieval scholasticism stemming from the writings of Thomas Aquinas. Neo-Thomism emphasized the work of art as an artifact of order, form, discipline, and, above all, labor and craftsmanship in the service of something distinct from or transcendent of the emotions of the artist; in short, the universal. This “neoclassical” movement was a reaction to the perceived disorder, formlessness, and lack of discipline of an aesthetic that fostered an artist’s individual expression of emotions spiraling out of control; in a word, Romanticism.
Upon entering this ripening intellectual environment and realizing that he was physically, artistically, and spiritually cut off from the Russian folk song that had permeated his work up to this point, Stravinsky chose to re-think his aesthetic position and began to formulate a philosophy of art. This change in his musical thinking took place during the brief two-month period between completion of his Symphonies for Wind Instruments (generally acknowledged as the last work of his “Russian” period) on November 30, 1920, and the fugato of the Octet for Wind Instruments on February 1, 1921.
This aesthetic shift is most notable with regards to Stravinsky’s appropriation of 18th-century forms as working models, and his new emphasis on both wind instruments and the piano to realize the clarity of absolute music free from associations outside of itself. In the words of Stravinsky scholar and biographer Stephen Walsh, “In all Stravinsky’s early neo-classical works the use of classical form is referential rather than organic, and is best interpreted, like his other ‘classical’ devices, as symbolic.” Regarding his use of wind instruments to best realize the sound of his new ideas, Stravinsky put it this way: “wind instruments seem to me more apt to render a certain rigidity of form I had in mind than other instruments… the difference of the volume of these instruments renders more evident the musical architecture.”
Stravinsky completed the Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments on April 21, 1924. After hearing a private run-through in Paris, the conductor Ernest Ansermet related to a friend: “I’ve just heard Stravinsky’s Piano Concerto, admirably played by the composer. It’s a very important work… in the line of the Octet but in a more monumental style and à la Bach!” True to an 18th-century concerto, Stravinsky’s is made of three movements – fast with slow introduction, slow, fast – but that’s as close as it gets. In light of this statement, we will let no less an authority than Béla Bartók have the final word: “The opinion of some people that Stravinsky’s neoclassical style is based on Bach, Handel, and other composers of their time is a rather superficial one… he turns only to the material of that period, to the patterns of Bach, Handel… Stravinsky uses this material in his own way, arranging and transforming it according to his own individual spirit…. Had he tried also to transpose Bach’s or Handel’s spirit into his work, imitation and not creation would have been the result.”
