Debussy's admiration & Poznansky's mistake

I've added this on the basis of what Poznansky says. The text in question, p. 374, merely refers to "one of Tchaikovsky's suites". The index, under Suite No. 2, points to p. 374, and it's the only suite mentioned on that page. There was a fugue in the 2nd Suite, so it seems Poznansky mistakenly assumed this was the fugue Debussy was in raptures about. However, the 2nd Suite was not written until 1883, and at the time of von Meck's letter, Debussy was eighteen years old. He was born in 1862, dating the letter to 1880 or 1881. The text makes clear that this occurred in 1880, so it could only have been the 1st Suite that Nadezhda von Meck and Debussy played. -- JackofOz (talk) 23:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
