Looking for Debussy score

[Rune Vejby]

Hi all,


I have been searching the net intensively in order to find the sheet music for the piece Lent (melancolique et doux) by Claude Debussy. It is part of his "Images Oubliees" for piano, which is not one of his most well-know works. I have managed to find the whole Images Oubliees to purchase but the price of 10 USD is a bit much when I am only interested in the first piece. So preferably I would like to only purchase the score for Lent (melancolique et doux).
Can anybody help my find this?

Thank you very much.

-Rune

Hello Mr. Vejby,

You might like to try this website: http://www.patelson.com/index1.html

They are very friendly and knowledgable.

Try this site also: http://bookstore.juilliard.edu/

Its the music store for the Juilliard School of Music in New York.

I hope these sites will help you in your quest.


Cheers,

Giovanni :tiphat:

Another posibility is the Danish Library site - www.bibliotek.dk - try searching for "Forfatter": Debussy, "Fritext": lent and "materialetype": noder - this brings up 4 "hits" which you should be able to reserve for your local library. (as far as I can see it should even be available at the Copenhagen Main Library - a search for "Debussy lent" at http://bibliotek.kk.dk gives me 1 hit for sheetmusic).

I'm not sure whether you'll be able to find Lent being publish as a single piece anywhere - Theodor Presser has the whole work for sale at $9.50 - but not the seperate pieces.

Ok, if the images set you are looking for is his second set of images, http://www.imslp.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
has a public domain version of the entire work (1.6 MB if you don't have highspeed access), along with many other works by famous composers (all public domain). Hope this helps.

The "Images (oubliées)" (Forgotten Images) were written in 1894, while the "Images" set 1 and 2 were written in 1905/1907 respectively (around the time of his "Children's Corner"). http://www.claude-debussy.com/claude_debussy/claudedebussy-works1.html

Interesting site though!

Thanks alot guys!
And no, Images Oubliees is not part of his more famous Images (book 1 & 2) works

Corno, I have'nt thought about bibliotek.dk, but of course it is the most obvious choice Thank you. I will try to order it.
