Sonstige Bemerkungen
Russian preface by Yulian Kreyn (1913-1996) omitted, 171 music pages. More-or-less a re-engraving of the first edition (1905). The famous brass fanfares (reh.59: mm.4-11) have been removed but it still contains numerous differences from the 1909 revised edition (see below). More about this score, its reprints, and the cornets at the end

Monochrome scans. Marie Rolf in the introduction to the Durand Critical Edition: "The 1909 edition of La Mer is the last printed version known to have been sanctioned by Debussy." Some recordings (Munch/BSO among others) retain the brass fanfares that Debussy removed in this revision (measures 4-11 of rehearsal 59 - PDF pages 125-26).

Rolf's edition contains a number of important corrections (examples: the crescendo in 1st bassoon part on PDF page 4, bar 4 actually starts in bar 3, and what look like accents in the nearby trumpet phrases are actually decrescendos).
