Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
Autograph manuscript 'Devoir', contrapuntal exercises, [c.1880]
In black ink, approximately 84 exercises in four staves, 12 pages, 270 x 352mm, with emendations and one or two annotations in pencil, perhaps by Debussy's composition teacher Ernest Guiraud, in a single gathering (a few leaves loose).

Student exercises in counterpoint by the young composer. Debussy joined the composition class of Ernest Guiraud (1837-1892) at the Paris Conservatoire in 1880, and under his guidance was to win the second Prix de Rome in 1883 and the first prize in 1884. Guiraud was a composer of operas, perhaps best known now for the recitatives he added to Bizet's Carmen. He was respected as a teacher and 'liked Debussy, but was barely able to grasp his brilliant pupil's new ideas of harmony and colour' (New Grove).
