D´INDY VINCENT: (1851-1931) ”I can easily imagine Debussy's ”panting” in contrast to a moderate, static performance.” - D´INDY VINCENT: (1851-1931) French composer. An interesting content letter referring to Debussy. A.L.S., Vincent d´Indy , two pages, written to the first and third page, 8vo, Agay, Var, 21st August 1921, to an unidentified woman, in French. The composer gives his opinion on the Debussy´s performance of his work Mandoline, ans states ` Je suis de votre avis pour l´exécution de ”Mandoline” de Debussy. Elle doit être légère et rapide sans quoi elle perd toute son allure et je vois très bien les ”haletances” de Debussy devant une exécution modérée et sans mouvement. N´ayant pas de métronome, je ne puis vous donner un chiffre, mais celui que vous indiquez me parait être bien près de la vérité...´ (Translation: ” I agree with you regarding the performance of Debussy's ”Mandoline.” It must be light and fast, otherwise it loses all its charm, and I can easily imagine Debussy's ”panting” in contrast to a moderate, static performance. Since I don't have a metronome, I can't give you a precise time, but the one you suggest seems very close to the mark.”) Paper with a St. George´s watermark.
