RE: Jewish Classical Composers

B"H Kiryat Arba

To set the record straight, the original story as found in Artur
Rubinstein's autobiography,
someone had signed in the autograph book:

"Bach, Beethoven, Brahms - tous les autres sont cretins".

To which was added:

"Meyerbeer, Mendelssohn, Moskowski - tous les autres sont chretiens."

And no, Ravel was NOT Jewish, though he wrote a Kaddish and a few Hebrew
melodies.

FYI.
