This critical edition of the Petite Suite is an excerpt from the COMPLETE WORKS OF CLAUDE DEBUSSY, Series I, volume 9. The titles of the movements of the Petite Suite, 'Cortege' and 'Ballet', evoke the universe of both the Premiere Suite d'orchestreand Fetes galantes by Paul Verlaine ('Cortege' and 'En bateau'), several poems from which Debussy began to set as early as 1882.The contract that Debussy signed with the editors Durand, Schoenewerk & Cie for the Petite Suite is dated 8 December 1888. The work appeared at the beginning of the following year; the 'depot legal', (legal deposit) of the work, was accomplished on12 February 1889. It is difficult to believe that the Petite Suite, which became one of Durand's bestselling items during the composer's lifetime, was at first not appreciated by those who heard it.

Claude Debussy's Petite Suite for Piano 4-hands.

Cette edition critique de la Petite Suite constitue un tire a part des OEUVRES COMPLETES DE CLAUDE DEBUSSY, Serie I, volume 9. Les titres des mouvements de la Petite Suite, notamment << Cortege >> et << Ballet >>, evoquent aussi bien la Premiere Suited'orchestre que l'univers poetique des Fetes galantes de Paul Verlaine (<< Cortege >>, << En bateau >>) dont Debussy avait mis en musique plusieurs poemes des 1882. L'oeuvre fut cedee a l'editeur Durand, Schoenewerk & Cie le 8 decembre 1888. Elle parutau debut de l'annee suivante, le depot legal ayant ete effectue le 12 fevrier 1889. On a beaucoup de mal a imaginer que la PetiteSuite qui fut une des meilleures ventes de l'editeur Durand du vivant du compositeur fut d'abord boudee par les auditeursqui la decouvrirent.
