Hold on, won't be long

I've often pondered the relationship between Ravel's Bolero and Ravel's progressive neuro-degenerative brain disorder that resulted in his death after watching this Nova documentary about it that I can only find this clip of here. I would urge anyone reading this to find it as it's very much worth watching.

Again, the pedant in me has to qualify that Ravel isn't technically classical music, as he was a 20th century composer, but I feel the above worth mentioning in this thread because I will never not listen to Bolero if it presents itself.

The Radiolab podcast also did an episode on this story: https://radiolab.org/podcast/unraveling-bolero
