kurzer abstecher zu „laura“, das wir ja im blindfoldtest gar nicht hören…
„laura“ (1945), music by david raskin, was the theme for a film. I was present when the publishers played it, before the lyric has been added. unanimously it was concluded that so complex a melody would highly impractical to publish. but the day they heard it sung with mr. mercer’s most distinguished lyric, it was all different. and it is a very complex, however beautiful, melody. I believe that had a less lovely and loving lyric been written, the piece, for that’s what it was, would never have budged.
