"An apparently willing triangle moves into action, develops, or even changes form, not round a leader or a leading figure, the catalyst here is a single, unifying desire that foregoes all excesses or the futile effects of a sense of urgency; here are three blueprints that intersect and overlap with each other in a structure that seems totally natural, or at least every bit as natural as the opening solo to the "Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune" is supposed to be. This was described by Debussy in the following terms: "It's a shepherd sitting on his a ... in the grass, playing his flute." "-Philippe Carles
