Ravel wrote that the work was "a concerto in the strict sense, written in the spirit of Mozart and Saint-Saëns... I had intended to call this concerto a ′Divertissement', then it occurred to me that there was no need to do so because the very title ′Concerto′ should be sufficiently clear... In some ways, my concerto is not unlike my Violin Sonata; it uses certain effects borrowed from jazz, but only in moderation."En Sol (In G Major) evokes a sunny beach where a group of young friends cavort and flirt, mimicking the dappled water with their wheeling arms and flickering feet. Like a moonlit coda to his Dances at a Gathering.
