Trivia / Maurice Ravel

• Creator Backlash: While he didn't actively dislike Boléro, he regarded it as an experimental work that should be treated as such, not warranting such mass popularity. His response to the allegation that one woman was heard screaming that he was a madman amongst the première's wild applause, was that she understood. Unfortunately for him, Magnum Opus Dissonance struck and nowadays, most people outside of enthusiasts struggle to name or even recognize any other music he wrote.
