"Louis Laloy his first French biographer revealed in 1909 that 'He received his most profitable lessons from poets and painters not from musicians' while he himself told Varèse in 1911 'I love pictures almost as much as music'. .One of his rare piano pupils Mademoiselle Worms de Romilly went so far as to write that he 'always regretted not having worked at painting instead of music'. Ever since his years at the Conservatoire Debussy had felt that he had more to learn from artists than from career-obsessed musicians: 'You are getting nowhere M. Croche will tell them because you know nothing but music and obey barbaric laws'. Three of his works were dedicated to artists: one of the Images for piano to Alexandre Charpentier one of the Proses lyriques to Henri Lerolle and Estampes to Jacques-Emile Blanche."

He wrote the scenario - but not the music - of Masques et bergamasques but he detested the choreography which Diaghilev commissioned from Nijinsky for Jeux a work which finally found a new life for itself in the concert hall. He fell out with Maud Allan who commissioned the ballet Khamma; the score which has its Stravinskian moments was not played in his lifetime." François Lesure and Roy Howat in Grove Music Online. A.
