Since this thread is started, it's a good chance to bring up my
(current) heart's desire roll. I have been seeking Ravel's "Pavanne
por un infante defunte" without success. Any format will do since
I only have 88-note pumpers.

[ Ravel wrote his "Pavane for a dead princess" in 1899, when he was
[ 24 years old. My 7 kg dictionary of 1927 says:
[
[ "Pavan, also pavane: A stately and formal old dance by couples in
[ ceremonial costume, introduced into England in the 16th century;
[ also, music for this dance, or with its duple and very slow rhythm."
[
[ I searched the Internet for the spelling "Pavanne" with two n's;
[ it seems used only in the title of Ravel's piano piece, and only
[ occasionally there. -- Robbie
