16:38 Koechlin!!! Another interesting and (In my humble opinion) highly underrated composer. His son and daughter once came to my house for tea!

I do hope you eventually make one of these videos on Koechlin. He’s immensely fascinating.

Of these Poulenc is definetely the one I've played (piano) and listened to the most. He can be "a little too easy to recognize" sometimes, but a lot of his stuff I find pretty irresistible.

Don't forget. Auric wrote for Hollywood, including the score for the Audrey Hepburn/Gregory Peck masterpiece "Roman Holiday."

Yes! The French sound! In particular, I loved Poulenc so much I sang his song cycle "Fiancailles pour rire" in my senior recital.

I like _most_ of the biographies on my shelf, with only a few exceptions. The best among them are Jan Swafford's works; although his Brahms and Beethoven have a few factual errors that have since been rectified, his Ives is outstanding. It and Stephen Budiansky's _Mad Music_ are the two Ives books I like the most. _Leo Ornstein: Modernist Dilemmas, Personal Choices_ by Michael Broyles and Denise von Glahn, _Franz Liszt: Musician, Celebrity, Superstar_ by Oliver Hilmes, _Leonard Bernstein_ by Humphrey Burton, and _Clara Schumann: The Artist and the Woman_ by Nancy B. Reich are other favorites. I remember being underwhelmed by the thinner volumes on my shelf on Satie, Ravel, Debussy, and Chopin. _Richard Wagner: A Life in Music_ by Martin Geck and _Stravinsky: Discoveries and Memories_ by Robert Craft are two I really didn't like much. Geck is far too quick to write off the ugly side of Wagner's views while Craft was simply too close to Stravinsky to write anything objective. The rest of them range pretty widely from textbooks and heavily academic-y stuff to general-interest volumes. Of that very broad category, I like _The Winds of Change_ by Frank L. Battisti (the history of the wind ensemble/concert band), _Modern Music and After_ by Paul Griffiths, _Lexicon of Musical Invective_ by Nicholas Slonimsky, _How Music Works_ by David Byrne, _Beethoven's Symphonies_ by Lewis Lockwood, and (although I'm biased here) _American Gamelan and the Ethnomusicological Imagination_ by Elizabeth Clendinning. Recommended with reservations from the non-biography section are _The Music of Elliott Carter_ by David Schiff (very technically oriented), _German Lieder in the Nineteenth Century_ edited by Rufus Hallmark, _The Music of Alban Berg_ by Douglas Jarman (both highly specialized), and _Music and the Politics of Negation_ by James R. Currie (extremely philosophical; it had me running to Google once a paragraph).

I play a little of it-that is, I know some of the basic chords and can generally pick out melodies. I'd love to do a dive into its classical usage someday.

So, according to Les Six, non-functional harmony= French? I bet they loved Galant music

Insofar as Satie used it (as in the major seventh chords in the first Gymnopédie), yes. In that piece, the chords support a lyrical melody. This contrasts with Debussy's use of parallel sonorities melodically (as in Nuages from the Nocturnes).
