This book is a firsthand report of a great composer's intentions in regard to the performance of his music. These intentions have been digested and interpreted for us by the composer's friend Robert Schmitz (1889-1949), who was himself a distinguished pianist, an articulate musician, and a well-known teacher. The product is an authoritative commentary on the entire body of Debussy's work for piano solo.
Written for both performers and listeners, the book's purpose is to increase enjoyment of and insight into these works. The book's shorter opening section comprises notes on many general aspects of the composer's life and work; a biographical sketch; a discussion of Debussy's place in relation to the concepts of impressionism and romanticism; his use of classical forms, tonality and modality, melody, counterpoint, etc. Section two, the heart of the book, examines in detail the whole of Debussy's music for solo piano, two hands. Seventy-one pieces in all are included: The Arabesques, the Suite Bergmasque, the Estampes, Images, Children's Corner, Pr ludes and tudes. Each in its chronological place, the pieces are first described as a whole as to mood, source of programmatic inspiration, structure, tonality, and other characteristics. Then follows specific suggestions dealing with technical and expressive problems of particular measures and phrases.
The book is not meant as a substitute for Debussy's piano works; on the contrary, it will cause both listeners and performers to turn to this superb corpus of music with new interest and insight. Complete, thorough, authoritative and important. -- San Francisco Chronicle. It is a thoughtful and mature reference book and though I am at variance with certain of its premises and conclusions, there is much to provoke the intelligent music lover and the inquiring musician. -- Abram Chasins, The New York Times. There is no doubt that he had closely identified himself with the great French composer, and his love and belief in the music shine through every page of this book. -- H. C. Schonbert, The Saturday Review.

Good, But Not Suitable for Aggressive Chewers.
I recently ordered the Chewzzle TPR Dog Chew Bones (3-pack) and overall, they’re a good option for light to moderate chewers. The colors are bright and fun, and the textured surface seems to help with gentle teeth cleaning, which is a nice bonus. The material feels flexible yet durable enough for casual chewing sessions. My dog was immediately interested in them and got to chewing. That said, these are definitely not suitable for aggressive chewers like mine. He had ripped and bit off pieces in a matter of mins. If your dog tends to tear through toys quickly or has a strong bite, these likely won’t hold up for long. They’re better suited for small to medium dogs that enjoy softer chew toys rather than heavy-duty ones. For the price, it’s a fair value as long as you’re buying with the right expectations. Great for light chewers, but not the best choice if you need something truly tough or long-lasting.

Great set! 6 weeks in and we still use everything in this pack daily
Got this snuggle puppy set for my 10wo Goldendoodle. I gave it to her after she’d been with me (and away from her litter) for about 2 weeks, so she actually didn’t like the heartbeat, but she LOVED the pup, which was bigger than her when I got it. One particularly cold night, I stuffed glove warmers in the heart pocket for extra warmth (I don’t like to run the heat too much as it affects my sinuses). She snuggled right up to it. The shape and softness makes it her favorite sleeping companion, no matter what position she’s sleeping in. She’s now 16w and still loves this puppy, even though she’s much bigger than it now. This puppy is holding up to her mouthing/teething stage and I’ve found it easy to keep clean. She loved the wabble ball stuffed with a little kibble, but quickly mastered it. The lick mats have been a lifesaver and are used daily in this house. Love that I have a spatula just for her and they’re pretty easy to clean. This is an excellent value for what you get!

Puppy settled in quite well with it!
This was a wonderful product. We got it for our puppy and it still stays in kennel in my bedroom, the door of it open at all times so he can come and go as he pleases- I no longer leave the heart in it but he still loves it and carries it through the house, dragging it! I would very much recommend it
