Jean-Phillipe Collard

I have the Durand edition of the music which I could PDF & upload for you (all) if you want.

Bobo, you big dumb Bobo, you. I don't have the Nocturnes sheet music. But I have Preludes Book 1, plus my big book of scattered Debussy, plus Golliwog.

You shouldn't be playing Nuages anyway. You should be working on the two Arabesques or the Pour le piano pieces. As Spike Lee said, DO THE RIGHT THING.

But while we wait for you to scurry off to your local music shoppe and purchase the score, we will settle for the La Cathedrale Engloutie music. Upload like you've never uploaded before, oh wise one.

Aw heck. Now what have I done?

do you really want this? I have to scan it first.

Go on. Get out. I have a piano redaction of the entire 4th movement of the 9th symphony.

I also have Copland's "Our Town" suite for piano. It's fun to sit on your porch on a summer's eve & play the "Our Town" suite & feel the poignancy seep into your stewed body. It's no longer bittersweet, Bobo. Now, it's just sweet....
