The first pathographer to oppose the falsification of this truth was Willms (13) who in 1934 drew attention to pertinent data in Chopin's correspondence.
When a pathographer attempts to discuss intention, he must not neglect this aspect of intention, that is to say, the needs, dictates, strictures, and seductions of the work of art itself—its form, its own internal structure.
In this sense the anti-intentionalist argument must be taken seriously by the pathographer: his interpretations must bear the test of a second moment of aesthetic experience or else he cannot claim, whatever else he may be doing, to be making critical statements about works of art.
