I remember a very strange movie (not the name, of course) where Wallace Shawn says "I just ran into Maurice Ravel in the men's room. He didn't recognize me." which was very funny if you knew that Ravel had brain damage later in life. This morning there was a very interesting segment that was still unfortunately in full swing as I left the car for work, about Ravel's brain damage and whether it influenced the composing of Bolero, where there are several passages repeated with the only difference being the actual instruments, or (in the sound) the timbre (ancillary question: TIM-BER or TAM-BER?). This is a right-hemisphere process, apparently, the grokking of timbre. Anyway, it was fascinating, anybody hear it? And next questions: does anybody know what was actually WRONG with Ravel? And what WAS the name of that movie?
