Hey, same here.
I don't travel much, either (can't afford it), and I'm not exactly trained in classical music, either -- I just listen to a lot of it, that's all, but otherwise can't play any instrument.
Maurice Ravel (1875 ~ 1937); French composer. You
must listen to some of his pieces, such as his sad, sweet
Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte. I was just so strongly reminded of his music by your little piece of prose. Guess it's the French title and the rather... uhhh... provocative opening scene...
