What does it mean when Debussy’s epoch-making work enters our catalogue with the “Breitkopf Urtext” seal of quality
1. We take all major sources into consideration. Editor Peter Jost chooses the 1909 edition as the “definitive version” since it records Debussy’s experiences in conducting the work in concert.
2. We place great importance on practical improvements such as a readerfriendly layout of the score and the most convenient page turns possible in the orchestral parts.
3. We make the work easily accessible. The score and orchestral parts can be purchased – which is the first time that this is possible with a new edition of La Mer.
