[78-L] Debussy's Quartet for Orchestra [fwd]

[David Lennick]

But it wasn't part of a Toscanoony concert , it was the filler music following 
same..that was usually from some recording they might have kept handy. I'm not 
aware of Toscanini orchestrating ANYTHING other than Moto Perpetuo and the 
Verdi Quartet.

Joe, it's on a broadcast you'll be getting from me (the only one I wanted to 
keep a transfer of), AFRS #11 NBC SYMPHONY, Nov. 21/43.
