Abstract
Abstract Scholars have long acknowledged the personal and stylistic relationship of Gounod and Bizet; their father/son, master/disciple friendship has not previously received the detailed study it deserves, however. Extensive biographical connections between them began when Bizet was still a young teenager. Bizet transcribed many Gounod works and turned to his mentor for advice. In the later 1860s he drew back and developed a more distinctive personal style that still incorporated ideas and techniques from Gounod, specifically in repeating musical passages at rising tonal levels in the course of an act and also in interweaving voice and orchestra in more supple textures.
