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!
