Of course, we could have a long discussion about what constitutes "well-known", too! :lol:
You can find all of the posts very easily - simply by clicking on the 'view unread posts' link here search.php?search_id=unreadposts from the main menu. This will, as its name suggests, give you all new posts in all threads.

In addition, I would request that posts be less 'cryptic', and simply describe and name the piece that is referred to. The reason for this should be obvious to all, as well as making the posts easier to search and to find.

Thanks to all for your cooperation.

Regards
Fred

Dear Alfor.
Since you have stayed in Japan (or understand Japanese), are you aware of a set of (12 volumes) Claude Debussy edited by Masako Nakai 中井正子 ?
I think there is an additional volume 13 for duet.

I am also curious, have there been any digital versions of ETUDE magazines (the series in the 1910s or so)... Dover edition had reprinted some of the masterclass. It is certain that it should be in public domain, which is why Dover publications printed them.

I tried several libraries in Asia and could not locate an copies.

Thank you very much.

All of them rather cheaply available here:

See the items with oddly watery cover design.

Dear soh choon wee,

I am sorry, but I do not possess any of the zen-on Debussy volumes -
but I just ordered a couple through amazon.co.jp

I confess to having purchased quite a few Zen-On editions when i lived in Japan. However (IMHO) I found the editing rather heavy handed. At the time, they were a nice alternative to the Durand "newspaper" editions of Debussy which fell apart in my hands. Alas, I gave all my Zen-On editions away some time ago.

Hi Soh Choon Wee,

You would probably enjoy: http://www.etudemagazine.com

It was created by someone who collects hard copies of Etude Magazine. The website has scanned copies of many of the magazine covers and selected articles.
