Sara Mohr-Pietsch charts a path to Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand, composed in 1929 for the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm in the First World War. On the way we hear other pieces written for Wittgenstein, as well as music that influenced the piece from Debussy to jazz.
To listen to this programme (using most smart speakers), just say: 'Ask BBC Sounds to play Music Map.'
