English translation and revised edition of the most comprehensive and reliable biography of Claude Debussy.Franois Lesure's 'critical biography' of Claude Debussy (Fayard, 2003) is widely recognized by scholars as the most comprehensive and reliable account of that composer's life and career as well as of the artistic milieu in whichhe worked. This encyclopedic volume draws extensively on Debussy's complete correspondence (at that time unpublished), a painstaking tracking of contemporary reviews and comments in the press, and an examination of other primary documentsincluding private diariesthat had not been available to previous biographers. As such, Lesure's book presents a wealth of new information while debunking a number of myths that had developed over the years since the composer's death in 1918.The present English translation and revised edition, by Debussy authority Marie Rolf, augments Lesure's numerous notes with several thousand new ones by Rolf, providing more precise information oncrucial and sometimes contentious points. It also reflects Debussy scholarship that has appeared since 2003, updating Lesure's seminal work. Rolf's translationthe first everwill make Lesure's findings accessible to scholars, musicians, and music lovers in Englishspeaking lands and around the world.FRANOIS LESURE (19232001) was the Director of the Music division of the Bibliothque nationale de France, Professor of Musicology at the Universit libre de Bruxelles, and Chair of Musicology at the cole pratique des Hautes tudes.MARIE ROLF is senior associate dean of graduate studies and professor of music theory at the Eastman School of Music and a memberof the editorial board for the Ouvres compltes de Claude Debussy.
