@ahofer,
Sorry for not getting back to you and I'll check out those links.
Regarding the Ravel 2nd movement, may I suggest that the viola is tuned-up a semi tone and is one of the instruments playing a pizzicato. Mozart uses this technique in his Sinfonia concertante.
I'm listening to this and it is confusing how the two violins play pizzicato and melody while pizzicato can be heard away from the violins.
Just a guess.
