Publications du Centre de Documentation Claude
Debussy, V. Geneva, 1989. 22 x 30 cm, xxii,
61, i pp. Line-cut of the autograph of the working draft, replete with
revisions. This
facsimile reunites, for the first time in 55 years, the constituent
parts of the manuscript.
Written in 1915—in the composer’s words after “the long drought imposed
on my brain by the
war”—this is the only complete working draft that survives for any of
Debussy’s piano
collections; as such, it allows a unique glimpse into the composer’s
workshop. Introduction
in Eng-Fr. Wrappers in laid paper. $81
