I have always admired his virtuosity which, contrary to other virtuosic music, does not seem to me empty or banal at all. I have also often felt that, had I been granted the genius to compose, it would have been in a spirit similar to Ravel's as I feel deeply identified with his music. Strangely enough, every time I read about the things he loved (automatons, the exact gear of machines, small objects, his love of fashion, the importance of small details, his perfectionism, Saint Jean de Luz...) I had to smile, feeling how similar I am in those details, and wondering how a good friend I could have been to someone like him...and Voilà!: It was a big surprise for me to read for the first time about the best friend of my admired composer.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\r\n\r\nHélène Jourdan Mourhange met Ravel for the first time after a concert in which \u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;\"\u003eshe performed his Trio, a true “tour the force” played in front of the composer.

Fortunately in my case it disappeared some years afterwards, half miraculously (it is a chronic disease), and half thanks to a very good holistic doctor.
