DEBUSSY, Claude (1862-1918)
Autograph music manuscript signed and dated ('Claude Debussy'), a fragment of 'Lorsqu'elle est entrée' from Nuits blanches, July 1900.
Three bars for bass followed by three bars for voice and piano, on two systems, 129 x 192mm. Provenance: Sotheby's, 18 May 1995, lot 127.
A fragment from the score of Nuits blanches. The manuscript comprises the words '[déli]cates que des fleurs / Se poseront sur mes yeux', towards the end of the song. Although in the published score of Nocturnes Debussy had announced the forthcoming publication of 'Nuits blanches, 5 Poèmes pour une voix avec accompagnement de piano’, only two of of the songs survive. The song is a setting of a poem by the composer, a jealous revery at the return of his lover from an assignation.
