Claude Debussy: "La Mer"


The most obvious difference with this score from the others is the listing of the instruments in French. The wind and string parts are separated by the percussion and two harps. It is important to note that the winds are listed on the first page even though they do not play. The first page must list all the instruments that perform in the entire work or movement. They do not have to be listed on subsequent pages if they do not play.
