Personal Quote:

(When asked by George Gershwin to take him on as a pupil) "If I do, you will become second-class Ravel. Better that you remain first-class Gershwin."

Trivia:

He wrote several songs for G.W. Pabst's 1933 film version of "Don Quixote", but they were rejected in favor of the songs that Jacques Ibert eventually composed for the film. Ravel later turned his score into the song cycle "Don Quichotte a Dulcinee". See more »
