Quote: "Toscanini met Debussy for the first time in Paris in 1910, and
later corresponded with him on a number of occasions - including
asking for - and gaining - permission from the composer to adjust
aspects of the orchestration in La Mer with doublings and rebalancings
in order to improve the clarity of sound, particularly in the inner
voices. "
Could you please supply precise chapter and verse as to this
correspondence in the form of hard and fast evidence: that is to say,
the dates they corresponded, (day/month/year), and also exactly where
this actual correspondence can be seen or found. Additionally, if you
have photocopies in your own collection which you are citing here,
please let us know where you obtained them and from whom. Thanks.
