Johannes Umbreit (Piano reduction)
Pascal Rogé (Fingering)
2 Pianos, 4-hands

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.

A recording made under Ravel’s supervision by the work’s dedicatee, Marguerite Long, was consulted for edition. Since its 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.
