Debussy Studies by Richard Langham Smith
This collection of essays on Debussy's life and music is aimed at both the music lover and a specialist readership. Many of the contributors to the current volume have worked on various pieces in the long-overdue complete edition, and the significance of their research is presented here. Topics include an examination of Debussy's working methods, his visual tastes, his reception in England, aspects of performance practice, as well as studies of his libretti and his relationship to the poet St phane Mallarm .
Review of the hardback: 'In this illuminating and wide ranging collection of essays, the various contributors succeed in preserving the elusiveness of Debussy's artThere is much artistic tact and sensitivity in evidence, as well as general elegance of writing.' The Musical Times
