This book is a firsthand report of a great composer's intentions in regard to the performance of his music. These intentions have been digested and interpreted for us by the composer's friend Robert Schmitz (1889-1949), who was himself a distinguished pianist, an articulate musician, and a well-known teacher. The product is an authoritative commentary on the entire body of Debussy's work for piano solo.
Written for both performers and listeners, the book's purpose is to increase enjoyment of and insight into these works. The book's shorter opening section comprises notes on many general aspects of the composer's life and work; a biographical sketch; a discussion of Debussy's place in relation to the concepts of impressionism and romanticism; his use of classical forms, tonality and modality, melody, counterpoint, etc. Section two, the heart of the book, examines in detail the whole of Debussy's music for solo piano, two hands. Seventy-one pieces in all are included: The Arabesques, the Suite Bergmasque, the Estampes, Images, Children's Corner, Pr ludes and tudes. Each in its chronological place, the pieces are first described as a whole as to mood, source of programmatic inspiration, structure, tonality, and other characteristics. Then follows specific suggestions dealing with technical and expressive problems of particular measures and phrases.
The book is not meant as a substitute for Debussy's piano works; on the contrary, it will cause both listeners and performers to turn to this superb corpus of music with new interest and insight. Complete, thorough, authoritative and important. -- San Francisco Chronicle. It is a thoughtful and mature reference book and though I am at variance with certain of its premises and conclusions, there is much to provoke the intelligent music lover and the inquiring musician. -- Abram Chasins, The New York Times. There is no doubt that he had closely identified himself with the great French composer, and his love and belief in the music shine through every page of this book. -- H. C. Schonbert, The Saturday Review.

PERFECT SOLUTION FOR SMALL SPACES.
I recently purchased the Tutotak 6-Tier Book Shelf for my son's room, and I couldn't be happier with it! The 6-tier design is a huge plus. It allows for plenty of storage without taking up too much floor space. The shelves are just the right height for storing books, toys, and decorative items. The vertical design maximizes the use of space, making it ideal for a smaller room like my son's. Sturdiness: I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy this shelf is. Despite its slim profile, it holds up well even with a decent amount of weight on each shelf. Assembly: It was easy to assemble, and all the parts were clearly labeled. I was able to set it up within about 30 minutes by myself, and everything lined up perfectly. The instructions were straightforward, so I didn't have to spend much time figuring it out. Functionality: Not only is it great for books, but the different levels are also perfect for organizing his toys, art supplies, and even some of his favorite collectibles.. Final Thoughts: I’m really impressed with this shelf. It’s well-built, space-efficient, and versatile. It has made a huge difference in organizing my son’s room without making it feel cramped. If you have limited space and need something practical but stylish, I highly recommend this bookshelf!

Super cute
The shelf is cute, and super easy to set-up. Be careful with the screws, I stripped the magnet screw/hole a little bit. Street that I was a little weary on over-tightening the four corners of each shelf. Make sure you use the wall straps bc it will be a little wobbly.

Very impressed with this! It was very easy for me to put together without any help. Very sturdy pieces and seems well made. Really can’t beat the quality for the price! The glass door on the bottom really dresses up this shelf. I will probably buy more of these for other rooms in my house.
