Reviews
?The style of Mr. Dumesnil's book is not conspicuous. The biography is a fair, honest, complete one, simply and directly written. . . . The musician, Claude Debussy, appears before us with photographic accuracy, and we can much better understand his music when we see the man who created it.?-Saturday Review of Literature ""The style of Mr. Dumesnil's book is not conspicuous.
