"Ravel's pieces are the most beautiful paintings ever heard."

Also, how does a piece (concerto, opus, etc) played in C sound differently from the same played in D (or any other key)? Also is C minor the same as C flat?
Please explain.
What is an octave?
Do timbre, pitch, and tone mean the same thing roughly? (how musical instruments sound differently?)
Please recommend a good book or website to peruse these things/
(Am trying to get a grasp on classical music.)

I just downloaded his Symphony No. 3 and pretty much thought I was going to die (beautiful, sorrowful). But when I Wikipedia'ed him, it said he was mostly a minimalist composer.

Any other pieces of his that you would recommend? Or any pieces by other composers, even?

Could I BE more vague? Almost certainly not. It's a slow, gripping piece of music (Strings only I'm fairly sure), often seen over slo-mo, usually used in death scenes or scenes of great sadness.
I find it almost shockingly sad, yet hauntingly beautiful. I'm guessing it's a piece of classical music, but have no idea where to start. If I can find a specific movie or scene I'll re-ask with better details

Supposedly there was a violin sonata or concerto written that was so difficult it was rumored to be cursed due to its creation by the Devil himself. It is said that if someone learns to play it in its full virtuosity, the person will die. Can anyone help me here? I'd like to at least find the name even if there aren't recordings available.

PLEASE DON'T OFFEND. I am looking for advice, NOT debate or criticism.

I am given a choice by my teacher. I am to play one of the pieces from the Miroirs suite by Ravel or Ondine from Gaspard de la nuit. Which one would be a wise choice? because I love all of them and I want to choose one that demonstrates expression and a level of virtuosity; one that will be a serious part of my repertoire in the future because these pieces are difficult and are gonna take me soooooo much time. I would appreciate it if you explain your reasoning.

I recently bought a brand new oboe (Buffet brand) around May. I've been taking extremely good care of it ever since. However I've noticed today that my Eb key seems to be broken! When ever I press it, it remains down and doesn't go back up. I am very desperate since all my D now sound like Eb. Can it still be under warranty? If it is, will it take long for the people to fix it? Can I do anything to adjust the key? Also, if I send it to fix somewhere else, how much would it approx. cost? Advaice is greatly apreciated! Thanks alot!

I know this is probably a silly question but I was curious. Are there any recordings from this time (late 1700's--around the time of the American Revolution)? If so, where? If not (which I am assuming is the answer) is there anything written about Mozart's playing ability that one can read?

Thanks!

In an online obituary for Luciano Pavarotti, I read where he made a debut at Covent Garden in London in 1963, where he stood in for Giuseppe Di Stefano as Rodolfo in Puccini's "La Boheme" . He was also given a role in a production of "Lucia di Lammermoor" and appeared at La Scala in Milan in 1965, San Francisco in 1967 and New York's Metropolitan Opera House in 1968 . NOW -- can I possibly pin down the month and dates when these performances took place ?

I was watching CNN when they flashed that Pavarotti has died. It was a good decision by me to download "Nessun Dorma" and heard it earlier. I'll hear it again now in his honor. May he rest in peace.
