Thanks to The Jewish Museum for this video. Revelatory about an artist I dig. FYI: When I watched it today, there was no music, the intro was silent. Perhaps a copyright issue? In any case, a valuable look at him.
Helas. The music was excised for the reasons you indicate. The conceit was to modulate between chopin versus ravel--chopin, for the polish-russian antecedents of misia and the natanson family, in all of its haute-bourgeois pretension, exquisite sensitivity, and heartbreaking alienation, versus a few pieces by ravel evocative of social alacrity, convivial excitement, and the curious reversal of melody line, so suggestive of the painter's inversion of pictorial values and tone. Worked pretty well. You had to be there. Kudos to JM and media combo. The curious thing is, no-one will ever hear it. But here's the list. We were allowed one move (cinematic) on the artist in the final frame, standing behind madame Bonnard, holding a cigar, with another finger on the trigger of the Brownie. intro. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uaCPY4Plg14.html social dissension chez natanson www.google.com/search?q=chopin+nocturne+3%2C+op.+9+arrau&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS928US928&oq=chopin+nocturne+3%2C+op.+9+arrau&aqs=chrome..69i57j33i22i29i30.9616j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 vale. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Tzv1sDPmQ10.html
