Classical Arabesque

There should be another article about Arabesque music that is about the use of the term in "classical" music. Read this excerpt from http://www.music.vt.edu/musicdictionary:

Arabesque - An ornament or an embellished work. The term is taken from the Arabic art and architecture which was very ornate. This term is used for various kinds of melodic, contrapuntal, or harmonic ornamentation. Several composers including Claude Debussy and Robert Schumann have used this term as a title for compositions.

There is no such terms as 'classical arabesque', it is just a 'style' used a few times in the genre of classical music. I suggest then this should be in a Arabesque music (style) article, to show it has affcted that genre - it is not a genre within itself and not really applicable here - though if an article is made it can be linked to this page. As an example see Turkish music (style), for Turkish influences in Western classical music. 82.145.231.57 04:53, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
