Sylvie,

Why would Ravel's use of Jewish musical themes be an example of a 
fascination/repulsioin thing when he was Jewish himself?  Or do I misread your 
comment?

  -this tells, again and again about the hate/love relationship between German 
and Jews. The mutual fascination/repulsion thing... A German composer writting 
on a Jewish theme (Ravel did the same, and so did Shostakovitch, and who 
else?).

  Voila,
