Further, Debussy has added copious details of orchestration by means of pencil, both in the margins and within the staves themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The composer\u2019s customary shorthand conventions are also evident. In the fourth score, Debussy has extended a passage to something longer than initially planned by filling in with red ink to create an additional measure within the passage. To indicate repetition, he has used two different devices: a bracket (here in blue) above a stave, in the last two bars of the fifth score, indicating the content that is to be repeated; and also numbers, which he does in the third score, on the third of the four stave lines, adding two bars in pencil and marking them \u201c1\u201d and \u201c2\u201d to indicate an ensuing repetition.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/2021\/06\/7928\/\">Back to Collection<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \u2190 previous next \u2192 [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;7925&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_shadow&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624902765786{margin: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;border: 0px initial !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1624902800412{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 40px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;}&#8221;] The title given to the third movement, Dialogue [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":276,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[],"coauthors":[3],"class_list":["post-7996","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7996","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/276"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7996"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7996\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7996"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7996"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esm4.esm.rochester.edu\/sibley\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=7996"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
