Andre Caplet.
Indeed. Crossing from Le Havre to Honfleur....

À vous, cher ami.

Florestan

Guess not one, but two composers. The recordings of their music are only slightly more numerous than the hen's teeth, yet they are very famous, were hugely influential and are the object of countless books and articles.

Nietzsche and Rousseau?

Are you aware of any recording of Rousseau's music? Or Adorno's, for that matter?

I have three CDs with music by Adorno in my collection. Here's one:

And there's at least two recordings of Rousseau's Le Devin du Village, e.g this one:

No. Does he fit in "hugely influential" and "object of countless books and articles"? If yes, then he's the fifth.  :D

He wrote some nice music, though.

Well, yes. In addition to discovering Uranus, he uncovered the truth about nebulae, infrared radiation, and built life-changing telescopes (and a bunch of other astronomical stuff) . He was like the first Instagram star (haha) of his time.

Christo

 Abaelardus (Abélard)?
... music is not only an 'entertainment', nor a mere luxury, but a necessity of the spiritual if not of the physical life, an opening of those magic casements through which we can catch a glimpse of that country where ultimate reality will be found.    RVW, 1948
