Portrait of Claude Debussy - Marcel Dietschy - Hardcover

When this book was first published in French in 1962, it was hailed as an invaluable and reliable source of reference for many previously unpublished facts about the great composer. With painstaking attention to detail, Dietschy unearthed documents about every personality connected with Debussy, offering particularly novel information about Debussy's family and early life. Biographical rather than musicological, his deeply sensitive and sympathetic approach to Debussy's life and works yields many fresh insights into Debussy's complex personality. This first English translation incorporates Dietschy's later corrections as well as an updated bibliography and list of works.Dietschy, Marcel is the author of 'Portrait of Claude Debussy - Marcel Dietschy - Hardcover' with ISBN 9780193154698 and ISBN 0193154692.
