Description

Important French composer (1862–1918) whose colorful, evocative works, particularly those for keyboard and for orchestra, exemplified the 'impressionist' style, and whose innovative use of harmonic and instrumental resources was a seminal influence on the emerging language of twentieth-century music. ANS signed "D.," one page, 3.75 x 1.75, no date. Debussy pens a note on one of his personal calling cards, imprinted with his name and address: "Claude Debussy, 58 rue Cardinet." In full (translated): "Here, my dear Abel!… and all my friendship." In fine condition. Debussy lived at 58 rue Cardinet in Paris from January 1899 to September 1904
