Maurice Ravel (1875-1937)
is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest composers. For the last five years of his life, however, he was afflicted by aphasia and apraxia: his brain produced music, but he was unable to write it down. Ravel’s Brain is a musical/visual tone poem at once tragic and celebrative in its mood. Expressionistic and abstract, it portrays the
inner being of an artist who was rendered incapable of communicating with the outside world.
