 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]])] The Piano Concerto in G was always intended to be a lighthearted composition, beginning with a whip-crack.

 +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]])]
