Premiere date

edit

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

edit

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

edit

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
