I removed Maurice Ravel from the list of her students. Ravel was 12 years older than Nadia and no teacher-student relationship is mentioned in either the 1980 Grove or the 2002 Grove. She did teach a lot of people though. Please give a source if you think you're sure. Antandrus (talk) 17:07, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

I likewise removed Igor Stravinsky as Nadia's pupil. When he came to Paris for the first time, in 1910, Stravinsky was already a composer, and "Nadia was only one of the many that hailed him as a new figure in the music world." (Leonie Rosenstiel, Nadia Boulanger, a life in music, 1982). carlos10@017.net.il.

Is it just me, or is it really annoying that most of this article is a list of her pupils? Mak (talk) 21:36, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

I think this article is pretty biased. One paragraph in particular lists all of these subjective qualities and doesn't even cite a source.

[edit] More significant ancestry than shown

I remember reading somewhere (either in a music encyclopedia or a biography of Philip Glass) that Nadia was related to Mozart somehow or that she was some link in a chain of composers. Does anyone have any information to reference on this? -- Suso 03:54, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
