The real aim of the presentation was to show how easily artistic research can lead to falsely constructed insights. I didn't want to add this to the post, however, just to see what kind of reactions there would be, and if anyone would see through it. You did. :-)lukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18013413351950219994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963697760726597573.post-44517393897934983012017-03-27T08:22:57.968-07:002017-03-27T08:22:57.968-07:00On the other hand, and after some reflection, ther...On the other hand, and after some reflection, there does exist in some Brahms works, particularly the later ones, passages where the sound world does seem to show a strong French influence. The Verlaine song, with its "Clair de Lune" conclusion, would certainly and unequivocably point to a direct influence. Listening to this beautiful song, a friendship between these two entirely sympathetic characters, Brahms and Debussy, would seem to have been a match made in heaven. One should not be so quick to dismiss an historical discovery just because it had not been accepted as "received wisdom!"
