Bolero by Maurice Ravel

Bolero by Maurice Ravel is one of his most remembered and popular compositions.

Interestingly, as he was composing the work, Ravel began showing symptoms of frontotemporal dementia, which some say contributed to the extended musical repetitions in the piece.

He underwent a brain operation to correct his condition, but died soon after.
