He was, in his own eyes, the man who would bring together Baroque contrapuntalism, Classical structure, and Romantic programmaticism as a single unified style. During the latter half of the nineteenth century his name stood among those of such giants as Wagner and Brahms; no one doubted that Raff's music would have a profound influence in the coming centuries. But history was cruel to Raff—a brilliant and talented man who is all but forgotten today. |
