Reading Rousseau's Confessions right now. He admitted to an early case of musical plagiarism; I'm wondering if maybe he did a lot of borrowing. Rameau seemed to have suspicions...
@Fuliginosus Well actually the title "Les muses galantes" is a direct link to Rameau's "Les indes galantes" so it was more than suspicions, but after the Querelle des Bouffons, Rousseau wrote his exquisite " Le devin du village" in his own "italian like" style, very different from Rameau's French Classical style... (sorry for my english)
No, is not Bach, is Rousseau :-) style is very different and very close to Rameau style. it is a mere case if some passages in two-three notes, may remember bach's piece "So schnell ein rauschend Wasser schiesst" from Cantata No.26 Ach wie flüchtig, ach wie nichtig BWV26
a tiresome piece....

This is pretty good. Rousseau must have been a genius.
