:::This is just to let you know that I got your message. Regarding Grofe, I have his entire "Grand Canyon Suite" on a CD. Let me guess which movement you've heard: "Cloudburst." (It's the last, and when you hear it, you want to look outside to make sure that you're not in a severe [[thunderstorm]].) I also have Ravel's ''Bolero'', and when you hear ''that'', you will understand why that, in addition to Stravinsky's ''Rite of Spring'', started a riot at its premiere. (Today it would be relatively tame.)--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 19:48, 26 March 2007 (EDT)

::::You guessed wrong; I've actually heard "On the Trail" (first heard it in an elementary school music class, and it pops up every so often on our local classical station's Saturday morning kids' show). The ''Bolero'' is a great piece, although I prefer some of Ravel's other works (there is an anecdote in which a woman described the "Bolero" as "not music", and Ravel said that she completely understood the work, but I can't find a source for it).
