Claude Debussy published his Preludes for piano in two books of twelve preludes, originally published in April 1910 and April 1913 respectively.  This newly engraved and researched critical edition from Durand is the ultimate source for those 24 beloved piano preludes. Though it is paperback, it is based on the hardbound Complete Works of Claude Debussy, Series I, Volume 5. Includes a foreword in French and English. Printed on quality, ivory-colored stock, the book has a sewn binding for life-long use.
