French Maurice Ravel was an experimental but tonal composer like Debussy in a different way.LIke Debussy he uses Orchestra in a rather sophisticated describeing effective way in enlarged orchestra.At first he was be seen as mad , cause of his music.But his Bolero is not rather mad.It’s good.As far as I know ravel died in 20 century.Evrybody bought Bolero and some Tombe de Couperaine.His descendants are billionaires cause of one work: Bolero more or less.They got till 70 years after his dead Gema / Ascap / Bmi etc and all money for all rights.These services are new.

Syrinx ,
Suite Bergamasque Claire de Lune,

O.F.D This list is still not complete.I have studied law.Im composer.I wrote a romantical Piano Concerto equivalent to Tschaikowsky called Strasburg where I wrote first version during studies of economics there in 1990-92.But most law students are not cancelling law studies makeing suizide as gay.Probably Händel was living like a king in England studeing law at first but without gay / suizide scenario.Im not russian, not gay and not suizider with or without pressure. Im normal hetero !
