It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Debussy's Images oubliées - yes!

Fascinating works - and I agree that many listeners probably do not know them, and perhaps may not even be aware of them.

If you'll permit me a self-indulgent reminiscence here, I once performed (in SF in the mid 80's - soon after these pieces were "rediscovered" and published) in a staged ballet using two of these works as the music, together with other music by Debussy. Of course, I wasn't one of the dancers, but I was the live pianist on stage performing the Debussy works. (There seemed to be a fad for this kind of ballet/dance staging around that time.) The lead female dancer was Clare Whistler, the (great?) granddaughter of James MacNeil Whistler - which would make her the great great grandaughter of Whistler's Mother. ;-) It was just a single performance (which I thought went pretty decently).
