Petite Suite CD 71b

<p>Originally composed for piano duet Debussy's Peite suite was first peformed in Paris by the composer and Jacques Durand at a private hearing on February 2 1889 and became immediately popular after its publication the same year. Its widespread popularity resulted in demands from the publisher for an orchestral setting. The composer too busy with new works ultimately assigned the orchestration task to the conductor Henri Busser. This is the orchestral version most widely performed and recorded today. This is a newly-engraved urtext edition of this orchestral favorite prepared by one of Serenissima's finest editors Richard W. Sargeant Jr.</p><ul> <li>IMSLP page</li> <li>All Music Guide</li></ul>
