Maurice Ravel's
'Piano Concerto in G
major' was composed
between 1929 and 1931.
The concerto was deeply
infused with jazz idioms
and harmonies, which, at
the time, were highly
popular in Paris as well
as the United States,
where Ravel was traveling
on a piano tour. Ravel
remarked that The most
captivating part of jazz
is its rich and diverting
rhythm. ... Jazz is a
very rich and vital
source of inspiration for
modern composers and I am
astonished that so few
Americans are influenced
by it. Swiss arranger
Simon Scheiwiller
transcribed the concerto
for piano with
accompaniment of a
Symphonic Band with great
respect to the original
instrumentation.
