[edit] Financial Situation
The first two sentences of the biographical sketch are entirely misleading: Magnard lived his whole life long from the wealth of his father, it was only his father's social connections which he didn't want to profit from. Without his father's money he couldn't have afforded not to be performed for years, he couldn't have afforded his manor in Baron and the publication of his compositions on his own costs. This aspect of the article needs reworking. - Also in French reviews you don't read much about Magnard's affinities with Bruckner, Wagner and Mahler, but instead of his inspiration by Rameau whom he favorized. But I am no musician to be able to validate such arguments. - My source is, by the side, André Segond (Ed.): Bérénice d'Albéric Magnard, Cahiers de l'opera de Marseille, Arles 2001, with an extensive biography by Simon-Pierre Perret. -- 84.162.119.131 05:24, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
