Product Details

Product Description

Noes by Robert Orledge: Debussy planned to compose seven pieces of incidental music for André Antoines production of Shakespeares King Lear (Le Roi Lear) in 1904 at the time of his elopement to Jersey with Emma Bardac. However, he never completed the project due to Antoines frequent postponements and unwillingness to provide the 30 musicians Debussy required to avoid a feeble little sound like fleas rubbing their legs together! On the verso of the Fanfare manuscript from Debussys sketches, I discovered the start of an extremely moving little piece in a modal D minor, which could only be for La Mort de Cordélia in Act 5, scene 3. I thought this would be best suited to a binary movement in which most of the first half, the striking chromatic introduction and the elegiac theme are all by Debussy. This pencil sketch turned up in 2000 in thecollection of Mrs Jayne Ericourt (wife of the pianist Daniel Ericourt) in Greensboro, North Carolina, USA.
