Bücher von Claude Debussy

Debussy's one-act ballet, or 'Poème dansé', was given its first performance by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes on May 15, 1913 with scenery by Léon Bakst; Vaslav Nijinsky was the featured dancer and Pierre Monteux conducted. Despite the exquisitely-crafted score, the ballet's premiere was overshadowed by the riotous premiere by the same company of Stravinsky's Le sacre du printemps just two weeks later. Fortunately, Debussy's music has continued life as a concert work over the past century. The score reproduced here was first issued in Paris by Durand et Cie. at the end of 1913.

Composed for the American amateur saxophonist Elise Hall in 1903, Debussy left the orchestration incomplete at his death. The task of finishing the orchestral score fell to Jean Roger-Ducasse, who prepared the orchestral version in time for its premiere on May 14, 1919 in Paris, conducted by Debussy's student André Caplet. The present study score is a digitally-enhanced reprint of the score issued by Durand et Cie. in 1919. In contrast to so many of the on-demand scores now available, this one comes with all the pages and the images have been thoroughly checked to make sure it is actually readable.

This is a new, digitally-enhanced reissue of the score originally published in 1911 by Durand et Cie., Paris. Originally composed in 1910 for piano solo, Children's Corner was scored for small orchestra two years later by Debussy's student and good friend André Caplet, who conducted the premiere in Boston. This is the orchestral version most widely performed and recorded today. It is a brilliant example of early 20th century orchestral writing.
