Abstract Maurice Ravel's two Piano Concertos were composed during the two World Wars:"Piano Concerto" ("CONCERO EN SOL pour Piano et Orchestre") and "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand" ("CONCERTO POUR A LA MAIN... GAUCHE pour Piano et Orchestre"). They have very different personalities: the former is merry, the latter is sad. But they are also reflections of both sides of the composer's personality. They are also engraved with the times of the First World War and the Great Depression. Especially the latter was written for Paul Wittgenstein, the elder brother of philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, and was wounded in the First World War. Thus, the two piano concertos carry deep shadows of the cruel war. These two World wars, the very consequences of modernisation, engendered the meaning of 'modern' to capture the magnitude of the word in these two works. In this paper I will describe the two sides of seriousness and wittiness in relation to the trends of contemporary music, literary theory and others, and to consider the great influence of Ravel which continues even today.show more
