Debussy, La Mer, cover
   



Documenta Musicologica II/58. Kassel, 2024. 32 x 43 cm, 214 pp. Deluxe 4-color facsimile of the autograph full score composed 1903-05. The work had its premiere on October 15, 1905 at the Concerts Lamoureux in Paris under conductor Camille Chevillard, to whom Debussy had assigned the performance. The autograph, essentially a fair copy, served for the engraving of the first edition so it contains entries in a different hand (accidentals, performance instructions, notes for the layout); it also reflect minor compositional changes shown by Debussy himself making corrections, once by pasting over a piece of paper, which is reproduced in the facsimile according to the original (the old and new versions can both be viewed via the fold-out piece of paper). Hardbound, with leather spine and decorative paper boards. 10% discount for early subscribers. c.$490
