[MLA-L] Oeuvres completes de Claude Debussy, ser.1, vol. 1
Ruthann McTyre
One of our community users brought to our attention a faulty volume from
the Debussy complete works (Durand). Series 1, volume 1 (piano music) has
no accent markings other than those bracketed markings added by the editor,
Roy Howat. Our community user had just received his own personal copy
with, in his words, "a massive errata list" included. I thought I'd check
to see if anyone in MLA land had received this errata list too, because we
did not.
Thanks!

I remember when this happened and that quite a howl went up from members of
the music library community that had standing orders to the Debussy complete
edition. I believe that after all the checking of the proofs was done there
was some change or glitch in the computer program just before the final
computer copy was produced. Nobody bothered to check what came out of the
printer, and alas, all the accent marks (and other markings as well, I
think) disappeared and were not printed. A real disaster for a complete
edition volume.
Durand refused to print replacement copies of the edition (outrageous, given
what we had to pay for a very flawed "authoritative" edition) but instead
offered the errata list to the libraries stuck with the goofed-up volume. It
was only sent out upon request. I never followed through (and I suspect many
others didn't either), so it would be very helpful to know how to get a copy
of the errata at this late date. So, anyone with further information, please
post this to the list.
Cheers,
Darwin

We received the errata list without making a request. It arrived with a later volume.

pocket. I'm not in the music library, so I haven't checked to see if it's
actually there, and I can't say if it came with the volume, or was received
later. We added the item in July, 2001.
