Misc. Comments
Printemps was originally written for orchestra in 1887 but was later lost. Debussy himself later made an arrangement for voice and piano 4 hands published in La Revue Musicale, 1904. It was Henri Büsser who, in 1912, re-orchestrated it (without voice) from this piano 4 hands version under Debussy's supervision and was published in 1913.
The complete transcription for solo piano by Henri Büsser (pub. Durand, 1930, plate D.&F. 11,929) currently under copyright worldwide.
