Message-ID: <625@eosp1.UUCP> Date: Tue, 28-Feb-84 17:14:04 EST Article-I.D.: eosp1.625 Posted: Tue Feb 28 17:14:04 1984 Date-Received: Thu, 1-Mar-84 02:53:10 EST References: <2623@alice.UUCP> Organization: Exxon Office Systems, Princeton, NJ Lines: 12 I think I read about Gershwin's rejection by Ravel in "A Smattering of Ignorance" by Oscar Levant, a close friend of the Gershwins (or, if not a close friend, at least a pice of furniture in their apartments). [By the way, there is a book with a wonderful title!] I believe that Schillinger strongly influenced many Hollywood movie composers of the 30' and 40's. - Toby Robison allegra!eosp1!robison decvax!ittvax!eosp1!robison princeton!eosp1!robison (NOTE!
