I read an interesting anecdote: Gershwin asked Ravel to mentor him. Ravel considered it carefully then declined, not because he felt Gershwin wasn't worthy of him or that he had nothing to teach Gershwin, but because he liked Gershwin's style and he was worried that if he mentored Gershwin he'd infect it with his Ravelisms
