CLAUDE DEBUSSY – The Annotated Danses sacrée et profane

CLAUDE DEBUSSY (1862 - 1918) In this new engraving, the first since Renie's transcription in 1910, the whole piece is presented the way modern harpists expect to see it. It contains all the pedals, pedal diagrams, the most playable and dependable version of the famous pedal nightmare, extensive footnotes, and an explanation of how Debussy wanted the first page played, as described by an eyewitness.

I am so happy with your Debussy editions. I use them now all the time with my students. Such great work you did!
— MANJA SMITS (DUTCH CONCERT HARPIST)
Your edition of the Danses is so useful. Your observations on the opening sacrée chords are absolutely ‘on the nail’ on how they should be played.
