I could participate, to some degree.  Especially if Ravel counts!  :)

Absolutely and all of the composers who 'flirted' with Impressionism like Delius, Scriabin, Szymanowski, Roussel, RVW, Novak, Dukas, de Falla, Griffes, Respighi, Dutilleux, Ireland, Cyril Scott, Bax, among others.

I get the impression that I wouldn't have much to say there.... :-\

Coincidentally, a new survey of Griffes' piano music will be arriving on Hyperion in April, featuring the excellent Garrick Ohlsson.

It's almost like you love Delius. (I'd guess one of them was meant to be Debussy...)

That's great news! I love the Noel Lee recordings but they never made it to CD. The NAXOS ones are not so good. I would certainly buy the Ohlsson!

It's subliminal messaging to make us listen to Delius.

Is this a pretext to listen to more Delius? ;)

I would really like to participate though!

John would never ever be subliminal about anything. Everything about John says LIMINAL!

Maybe we can make April Bi-Polar Month ---- Impressionism AND Expressionism!

Made a typo. Don't need to mention Debussy or Ravel as their a given in this style, so I mentioned other composers that have toyed around with the style.

That sounds like an EXCELLENT idea, Paul! I love Expressionistic music too! 8)

Ha! Well, if want to listen to more of Delius' music, I certainly won't stop you. ;) ;D

I'll definitely join in for this. Ravel, Debussy, Scriabin, Szymanowski, and perhaps RVW wil feature, at least.

What is Expressionist music anyway? 2nd VS?

I think it is Second Viennese School, like you guessed, although to my mind the adjective Expressionist suggests Mahler...
