Editing Maurice Ravel (section)

==Honours and legacy==
Ravel declined not only the Légion d'honneur, but all state honours from France, refusing to let his name go forward for election to the [[Institut de France]].<ref>Nichols (2011), pp. 206–207</ref> He accepted foreign awards, including honorary membership of the [[Royal Philharmonic Society]] in 1921,<ref>[http://royalphilharmonicsociety.org.uk/index.php/awards/honorary/honorary_members/members2 "Honorary Members since 1826"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150414100752/http://royalphilharmonicsociety.org.uk/index.php/awards/honorary/honorary_members/members2 |date=14 April 2015 }}, Royal Philharmonic Society, retrieved 7 April 2015</ref> the Belgian [[Order of Leopold (Belgium)|Ordre de Léopold]] in 1926, and an honorary doctorate from the [[University of Oxford]] in 1928.<ref>Orenstein (1991), pp. 92 and 99</ref>

After Ravel's death, his brother and legatee, Edouard, turned the composer's house at Montfort-l'Amaury into a museum, leaving it substantially as Ravel had known it. As at 2023 the maison-musée de Maurice Ravel remains open for guided tours.<ref>[https://www.montfortlamaury.fr/culture-tourisme/sites-et-monuments/la-maison-musee-de-maurice-ravel/?lang=en "Maurice Ravel's museum house"], Montfort l'Amaury, retrieved 7 April 2022</ref>

In his later years, Edouard Ravel declared his intention to leave the bulk of the composer's estate to the city of Paris for the endowment of a Nobel Prize in music, but evidently changed his mind.<ref name=henley/> After his death in 1960, the estate passed through several hands. Despite the substantial royalties paid for performing Ravel's music, the news magazine ''[[Le Point]]'' reported in 2000 that it was unclear who the beneficiaries were.<ref>Inchauspé, Irene.
