polyphoniques polyphoniques was welcomed as an equal - quite the opposite of what a young American is told to expect from the Parisian establishment. Later in the year he invited me to present my findings at his seminar at the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, and he introduced me with his unique blend of pedagogical seriousness and sly humour: "Here is a topic that some French scholar should have treated years ago, and instead an American finally travels all this way and does it!" . Indeed, Lesure's life was a constant battle against the intellectual complacency of the academic tradition in French musical life, as Ralph Locke recalled: . He tried valiantly, for decades, to get French scholars to take French music and French musical life seriously as topics for research. His biggest success, probably, was pulling together a strong team to produce a critical edition of the complete works of Claude Debussy. But hundreds of other young scholars, working on a wide range of topics, are probably as grateful as I am to his respect for good scholarship, no matter where the individual hailed from. And we'll never forget his wide range of half-smiles, eyebrow raises, and other amused expressions.
