this is the most entrancing bit of pseudo eastern chicanery in les heures persanes

koechlin's unique harmonic language is what sets his best music apart from mere fin du siecle fetishizing (unlike say ibert) but his work would maybe have benefited from more formal rigor/less peripateticism

although tbh i find koechlin in orientalist mode much more compelling than debussy in similar moments

this implausibly dinks its way into the same eternal field we find 'in a landscape' floating around in imo

Koechlin is a superb exoticist and did it more times, at greater length and to greater alien extent but cmon man, "et la lune descend...""la terrasse des audiences..." and "cloches a travers..." are all time pillars of the project!!!
