Love is a word that is overused these days, due to other lesser feelings often being mistaken for it.

We all shared an admiration of Debussy both as a musician and as sort of an icon for the 20th century. It seemed like an interesting idea to go right back 100 years to find the source of some new ideas now. ↗
