by Matthew Brown (Author)
Matthew Brown examines Debussy's sketches and drafts to show how the composer wrote one of his last great symphonic scores: Iberia (from Images for orchestra). He describes the work's compositional history, the various intentional goals and historical contraints that guided Debussy's thinking, and some of the technical problems Debussy faced while composing this remarkable score.
