Episode 4 - A Magical Melody

The ‘Piano Concerto in G’ by Maurice Ravel is so astonishingly beautiful that time can appear to become suspended for a listener. The melody is somehow magical, transporting you to another place. In this episode I share insights into the piece, I discuss the Woodwind section of the orchestra, and begin to uncover how music works by answering the question ‘What is a Melody?’. This episode features the 2nd movement from the ‘Piano Concerto in G’ by the composer Maurice Ravel. I recommend the recording by The Cleveland Orchestra, with pianist Krystian Zimerman and conductor Pierre Boulez. Further information: I hope you enjoy the show! Please
