  • I first heard this on an episode of M*A*S*H where a young concert pianist loses the use of his right hand. Charles presents him with the music to this piece. It's a powerfully strong piece of music.

  • Truly remarkable... I saw this song first on an episode of MASH and I just had to find it. Remarkable!!

  • @lawrence142002 Thats exactly why im here! it just sounded so good on the episode that i had to hear it!

  • Very beautifel!!

  • @lawrence142002 That's where I first heard this, too. I kept the episode on my DVR just to hear this piece of music. I have been searching just for the piano alone, but I have found several pieces on iTunes for downloading.

  • @lorenc1000 Not to be pedantic :-) but as far as I know, Paul Wittgenstein was not a friend of Ravel. He commissioned Ravel and other composers for piano works. Evidently, Wittgenstein made some fairly unappreciative comments about the concerto - and doesn't that beat all!

  • @lawrence142002

    Yeah, that's where I first heard it. I was...perhaps eleven.

    Anyways, very nice.

  • ....wonderful performance -.wonderful technique...you are honoring Ravel...he would be very pleased with you if he lived to listen to you...bravo! One of my most favorite concerts!

  • 3 people have two hands also :this was made by Moris Ravel a french composer who created this for a pianist friend who lost an arm in ww1 .Anyway it's great song!!!!!
