ok. i looked up ravel's concerto and actually it IS quite jazzy. quote from roeder's "a history of the concerto" says "two subsidary themes with jazz elements shape the second part of the unusual sonata-allegro form exposition, which moves through a series of descending keys - G, F-sharp, and E. A less active theme in the piano in F-sharp major introduces a blues flavor with its blue third, the flatted third degree of the scale, which clashes with the major third, as in early jazz."
so, i guess i like both ravel and gershwin. where's the poll? can i change my mind and vote for both of them? goes to poll and double votes.
