[edit]Debussy
[edit]First of all, happy birthday Debussy!
There is something which has always interested me. Why does Debussy's music have so many slurs in the sheets? They look quite crazy, especially when they go from one staff to the other one. Was he simply very precise at notating phrasing or how had music changed during his era?--95.116.221.34 (talk) 05:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
- It's hard to give an answer to this, hence the delay. But this beautifully written piece may give you some insight. Enjoy. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 20:09, 25 August 2013 (UTC)
