Ravel's plans for a piano concerto can be traced back to 1906, but it was only in early 1929 that the composer seriously started work on one. He later stated that he wrote it âin the spirit of the concertos by Mozart and Saint-Saënsâ, the music being âcheerful and brilliantâ and not âaiming for profundity or dramatic effectsâ. The outer movements are characterised by rhythmic drive and borrowings from jazz; while the slow movement, with its subtle shifts of accented beats, is entirely dedicated to melody. Alongside manuscripts and prints, a recording made under Ravel's supervision by the work's dedicatee, Marguerite Long, was consulted for this Henle Urtext edition. Since its successful premiere in January 1932 the concerto has been part of the repertoire of all great pianists, including Pascal Rogé, the French music expert who has provided the fingerings for the solo part.

Chopin wrote works for piano and orchestra between 1827 and 1832. They were written successively therefore there are traces of the gradual crystallisation and maturation of the composer's style. Their form and nature are dominated by the rules of the stile brillant, as well as the tendency to accent the national aspect. Critical source-edition edited by Jan Ekier and Pawel Kaminski based on manuscripts, copies approved by Chopin himself, and first editions. Its purpose is to present the works of Chopin in authentic form.

Exhilarating and celebratory, the rhythmic demands of Dance Works as well as its physical nature are closer to rock, jazz and even medieval music.'Dance works' was written specifically for dance theatre and originally scored for the Steve Martland band. Martland's own arrangement for 2 pianos retains all the rhythmic power of the ensemble version but opens up new possibilities for concert performance or small scale or touring dance companies.
