The mass-centre in the restricted theory of relativity and its connexion with the quantum theory of elementary particles. Offprint. London: Proceedings of the Royal Society A volume 195 pp. 62-81 1948 Abstract: The Newtonian definition of the mass-centre can be generalized to the restricted theory of relativity in several ways. Three in particular lead to fairly simple expressions in terms of instantaneous variables for quite general systems. Of these only one is independent of the frame in which it is defined. It suffers from the disadvantage that its components do not commute in classical mechanics do not have zero Poisson brackets and are therefore unsuitable as generalized co-ordinates in mechanics. Of the other two one is particularly simply defined and the other has commuting co-ordinates. The Poisson brackets can be derived from quite general considerations because the various mass-centres are expressible in terms of integrals of the energy-momentum tensor which are directly connected with the infinitesimal operators of the group of Lorentz transformations. The definitions are readily applicable to a single particle in theories such as are current for elementary particles where a co-ordinate observable does not exist but an energy-momentum tensor does and furnish the nearest approach possible to such observables. They are applied to electrons particles of spin 0 and scalar- and vector-meson theories and to photons. Pryce was a British physicist part of the Admiralty Signals Establishment team which developed radar in WWII.

Ravel's original version for piano four-hands premiered in Paris at a concert of the Société musicale independante Salle Gaveau on 20 April 1910 with Jeanne Leleu and Geneviève Durony The orchestrated ballet version premiered in Paris on 28 January 1912 at the Théâtre des Arts. "Ravel drew on the past in Ma mère l'oye which is based on stories by Charles Perrault 1628-1703 the Comtesse d'Aulnoy c1650-1705 and Marie Leprince de Beaumont 1711-80 and Chansons madécasses a setting of poems by Evariste-Désiré de Parny 1753-1814 . The simplicity of Ma mère l'oye was a studied evocation of childhood; the influence of Satie's Gymnopédies on the 'Pavane de la belle au bois dormant' and 'Les entretiens de la belle et de la bête' is striking both for its melodic naivety and its repetitive bass movement."

Premiered in Paris at a concert of the Société musicale indépendantem Salle Gaveau on 11 April 1919 with Marguerite Long. Le Tombeau de Couperin was conceived amid the turmoil of the first world war. "In 1917 Ravel received a temporary discharge from military duty . In this restful setting he completed Le Tombeau de Couperin much of which had been written in 1914. Each of the piano suite's six pieces was dedicated to the memory of a fallen comrade in arms. The 'Rigaudon' for example was dedicated to the composer's childhood friends Pierre adn Pascal Gaudin the 'Prélude' to Lieutenant Jacques Carlot a cousin of Jacques Durand who had transcribed several of Ravel's works and the 'Toccata' to Captain Joseph de Marliave the husban of Marguerite Long."

Premiered in Paris at a concert of the Société musicale indépendante Salle Gaveau on 9 May 1911 by Louis Auber. "In the Valses nobles et sentimentales Ravel creates a powerful tension between the Romantic idiom and classical restraint; he selfconsciously claimed that he was aiming for 'a style that is simpler and clearer in which the harmony is harder and the lines of the music are made to show up."
