The much more we lived with them, the far more we felt that their legacies, even so looming, ended up also deeply personalized. Whether it is a youthful Rachmaninoff experience the weight of Tchaikovsky’s legacy in his ‘Elegiaque,’ Brahms revisiting his youthful trio as a mature composer, or Ravel contemplating what extremely effectively could have been his final do the job – hurriedly creating his Piano Trio before departing for the Wonderful War – almost nothing, not even the most timeless perform of artwork, is built in a vacuum.
