Bolero: Ravel's Most Popular Composition?[edit]

In the overview of the article, it is stated that Bolero is "Ravel's most famous musical composition". However, this is up for debate. First, works that are considered popular are subject to one's personal opinion. Furthermore, there are other works by Ravel that could be considered as more or equally popular, including Pavane for a Dead Princess, Daphnis et Chloe, Le Tombeau de Couperin, Gaspard de la Nuit, and others. Although it appears that the general consensus is that Bolero is the most widely known, I think this sentence should be removed. Hazard Gamer (talk) 17:56, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The sentence quotes a reputable source. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 01:46, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Bolero and sex?[edit]

THere are anecdotal remarks that this is the best piece of music to have playing whilst one has sex. 2001:8003:E490:7D01:9C87:C68:B633:4AD2 (talk) 11:32, 20 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Last note of snare drum is not audible[edit]

I love this composition so much! However, when I listened to the rhythm sample of snare drum, it seems that the last note is cut off. Can anyone update this please? Section "Music", subsection "Structure", audio file for the snare drum. 2A00:1858:1047:9BEF:3966:8803:750E:17C3 (talk) 20:46, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
