Description

Debussy worked off an on on his orchestration of the 1891 piece he originally composed for piano four-hands from 1893 to around 1908. He did not attend the premiere on January 16, 1910, given in Nancy with Guy Ropartz conducting the Orchestre des Concerts du Conservatoire. The work, also known under the title Marche des anciens comtes de Ross, is a superb example of Debussy's masterful orchestration. 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. The large score and orchestra parts are also available from Serenissima Music (95562).
