Abstract

Organized by the Da Camera Music Association, the Barcelona Ravel Festival took place at the Palau de la Música on May 18, 1924 and it was attended by Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) himself. On May 20th, the Orfeó Català gave a performance in his honour. This paper is based on the research carried out by the author on this subject in his Bachelor's and Master's dissertations on the reception of Ravel's music in Barcelona. Here we take a look at the historical musical and aesthetic context specifically relating to Ravel at the time, the story of the organization of both concerts, and the music critics' writings to which the concerts gave rise, in order to shed light on the details of these aspects.
