Ned Rorem in New York - 1 December, 1979
from The Nantucket Diary of Ned Rorem 1973-1985, page 268:
Practicing Debussy's Villon Ballades. Show again how much of Debussy's method for development consists merely of repeating, literally repeating, short phrases. His much-touted formal imagination - his structural innovation - is just not there.
