Of all the biographies of Claude Debussy, this exhaustively documented work has held its own as the most thorough and well-balanced analysis of the composer and his works. Written by a personal acquaintance of Debussy and an authority on his musical aims and achievements, it quotes copiously from contemporary memoirs and critiques, thus forging a clear-cut picture of the man his works and their turbulent milieu.
