Maurice Ravel quotes
" Another significant influence, other than Chabrier - is from Satie, who had a notable effect on Debussy, on myself, and, to tell the truth, on the majority of modern French composers. "

Maurice Ravel
" For Debussy the musician and the man I have had profound admiration, but by nature I'm different from him. I think I have always personally followed a direction opposed to that of the symbolism of Debussy. "

Maurice Ravel
" I am not one of the great composers. All the great have produced enormously. There is everything in their work - the best and the worst, but there is always quantity. But I have written relatively little. "

Maurice Ravel
" I begin by considering an effect. "

Maurice Ravel
" I did my work slowly, drop by drop. I tore it out of me by pieces. "

Maurice Ravel
" I look like a moor. "

Maurice Ravel
" Music, I feel, must be emotional first and intellectual second. "

Maurice Ravel
" My intention here is to make it clear that not a single cell of my composition, here in regard to The Raven, is found by chance or intuition, that the composition moved towards perfection with the precision and inevitability of a mathematical equation. "

Maurice Ravel
" Remember that I wrote a pavane for a dead princess, and not a dead pavane for a princess! "

Maurice Ravel
" The only love affair I have ever had was with music. "

Maurice Ravel
" We should always remember that sensitiveness and emotion constitute the real content of a work of art. "

Maurice Ravel
" You might lose your spontaneity and, instead of composing first-rate Gershwin, end up with second rate Ravel. "
