Claude Debussy - Preludes Books 1 and 2 | Advanced Piano Solo Sheet Music Book for Classical Pianists | Critical Edition with Performance Notes High-Level Repertoire for Study and Technique

This French publication of the French master is printed on very good quality paper with precise inking for clarity. Well bound.

If you're an amateur pianist or use scores for study, and especially if you're used to the cheap Dover editions, you need to obtain these. Easy to read, beautiful, and edited by someone (Roy Howat) who really understands Debussy's life and music. A steal at $30 or under!

This is newly published. It is scholarly. There are changes in notes from the previous two volumes. This is great because both Volumes 1 and 2 are finally together in this edition. Hooray. Pages are easy to read, the notation is large enough for mature eyes and also has a some finger numbers. Buy it.

Every bit as clear as the original Durand but with much better quality paper stock. Leaf and string bound so there is no worry about pages falling out.

This is an excellent edition of Debussy's Preludes. I love that the print is extremely clear and easy to read. The binding made it difficult for the book to stay open at first. I will only buy these new Durand editions of Debussy.

4 stars for being an authoritative yet affordable edition of the Debussy preludes. My copy came with one bad page printed fuzzily. It's readable and not worth the trouble of having replaced, but annoying. Also the book is very difficult to keep flat on the stand and you may end up handling it pretty roughly. Too bad for an otherwise very attractive edition.

Basically urtext Debussy

I love this edition of the Preludes. The score is clean and easy to read.

Modern version of the original Edition from Durand . I like the accuracy

La durand è sicuramente l'edizione migliore quando bisogna studiare Debussy. Consigliatissimo se vi interessano i preludi L'unica cosa che mi lascia un po' deluso è la rilegatura, ma quasi tutti i libri musicali sono fatti così, quindi non è un vero e proprio difetto.

Great edition. However the binding is very unforgiving. I've repeatedly bent the book backwards on its binding but it still refuses to stay open when I play. I had to weigh down the pages with two heavy textbooks on either side, but even then it still likes to close on it's own.

Really good book!

The binding is quite stiff, but the printing quality is excellent. A good purchase.
