Notes

"M. Lesure was also the guiding spirit behind the Bibliotheque Nationale's Debussy exhibition. The main body of the exhibition catalog is preceded by eight full-page plates [including] Marcel Baschet's portrait . . . The Baschet portrait, incidentally, is intentionally assigned to 1885, not 1884, as in the article on Debussy in MGG" (p. 62, F. Blum's review of Claude Debussy: Catalogue de l'exposition).
