| Ravel embarked on a profitable four-month, 25-city concert tour of the United States in 1928. He traveled to Harlem with Gershwin to hear jazz and later visited New Orleans. His love of jazz inspired him to incorporate jazz themes into a handful of his later compositions, particularly the two piano concertos. The photograph depicts a Ravel birthday celebration in New York City on March 8, 1928. Oscar Fried, conductor; Eva Gauthier, singer; Ravel playing piano; Manoah Leide-Tedesco, composer-conductor; and George Gershwin, from left to right.[([[https://pl.pinterest.com/pin/308215168235677912/|Pinterest]])] | Ravel embarked on a profitable four-month, 25-city concert tour of the United States in 1928.

| | ===== Piano Concerto In G ===== |
| | |
| | The Piano Concerto in G was always intended to be a lighthearted composition, beginning with a whip-crack. Gershwinian jazz elements abound in the work. The lovely second movement is to die for. 'How I worked it over bar by bar!' said Ravel. 'It almost killed me!'[([[https://www.classicfm.com/composers/ravel/guides/ravel-15-facts/ravel-piano-14/|Classic FM]])] |

| | ===== Death ===== |
| | |
| | Ravel was involved in a taxi accident in 1932 that resulted in a hit to the head. He was usually absent-minded after that. The remainder of his life was blighted by a brain malfunction, most likely caused by Pick's illness, which progressively impacted his speech and movement. In 1937, he died following a final, unsuccessful operation.[([[https://books.google.pl/books?id=TgZADwAAQBAJ&pg=PT69&lpg=PT69&dq=In+1932,+Ravel+suffered+a+blow+to+his+head+in+a+taxi+accident.+Afterwards+he+was+frequently+absent-minded.+The+remainder+of+his+life+was+plagued+by+a+malfunction+of+the+brain+probably+caused+by+Pick%27s+disease+which+increasingly+affected+his+speech+and+movement.+He+died+after+a+final,+unsuccessful+operation+in+1937.&source=bl&ots=cKOUWVTvSo&sig=ACfU3U3gXoD10jDvNhbHUUet9au8G2yidg&hl=pl&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwijsqCN8N31AhVTAxAIHdbCAHgQ6AF6BAgvEAM#v=onepage&q=In%201932%2C%20Ravel%20suffered%20a%20blow%20to%20his%20head%20in%20a%20taxi%20accident.%20Afterwards%20he%20was%20frequently%20absent-minded.%20The%20remainder%20of%20his%20life%20was%20plagued%20by%20a%20malfunction%20of%20the%20brain%20probably%20caused%20by%20Pick's%20disease%20which%20increasingly%20affected%20his%20speech%20and%20movement.%20He%20died%20after%20a%20final%2C%20unsuccessful%20operation%20in%201937.&f=false|Google Books]])] |
