A fact from En blanc et noir appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 December 2019 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that in his 1915 En blanc et noir for two pianos, Claude Debussy quoted Luther's hymn "Ein feste Burg" and dedicated the work in part to Jacques Charlot, who fell in World War I?

Premiere date

The premiere, listed as 1919 in the infobox, is probably a typo for 1916. But why list the December performance instead of the first public performance in March, according to the text? --Paul_012 (talk) 18:23, 19 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Fixed IB. Avis refers to the premiere by Debussy and Roger-Ducasse on the December date. It seems logical that Debussy would have performed in the "official" premiere. Jmar67 (talk) 03:10, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Quotations

I've reverted several of LouisAlain's translations of quotations into French. I think there might have been some confusion, but the intent probably should have been identifying original quotations instead of making new translations. That said, the only one I could find was, "À mon humble avis, les Austro-Boches tirent les dernières flèches d'un mauvais bois." I'm not sure if this is correctly the quote being referred to, since it doesn't directly translate. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:56, 19 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Jacques Charlot

The Kennedy Center source doesn't quite support the fact that Jacques Charlot was a friend of Debussy's, or that he was a nephew of Durand. Could another in-line citation be added? (Sources also differ on the nephew part. I see many that say he was a cousin.) --Paul_012 (talk) 20:15, 19 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

I updated per Laki and commented nephew out. The French WP article says he was Durand's nephew, but I see no reference there. Jmar67 (talk) 00:04, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Also FWIW, fr:Ma mère l'Oye says Charlot was a friend of Ravel. Jmar67 (talk) 01:29, 20 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
