Debussy, Claude. (1862-1918)

Signed Portrait

Signed postcard portrait from the important French composer whose colorful, evocative works, particularly those for keyboard and for orchestra, exemplified the ‘impressionist’ style, and whose innovative use of harmonic and instrumental resources was a seminal influence on the emerging language of twentieth-century music.

Boldly signed in blue ink "Claude Debussy Oct 7 1912" and measuring 10 x 7.5 cm. In the weeks prior to the signing of this card, the composer had recently completed work on his "Jeux." (7225)
