Talk:Embryons desséchés

There's an awful lot in this article about what the composer "clearly" intended. That's a red flag for me - if you have to point out that it's "clear", it probably isn't. In particular, that whole section sounds like OR, and I wonder if it should be excised.216.59.230.140 03:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Coda
It is impossible to listen to the coda of Podophthalma without recognising Beethoven's endless codas. I can find several sources which identify it as a pastiche of the 8th, but they are not online. Guy (Help!) 12:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The end of Holothuria also sounds like this, after the reuse of several Mozartian clichés that occurs just before the coda (Heureusement je ne fume pas, IIRC). (Then again, the idea of imitating Mozart clichés is somewhat complicated by the fact that these are essentially prefabricated bricks of scale-and-arpeggio passagework with Alberti bass accompaniment that can fit just about anywhere you want a cadence.)
