Tim, How about popping them into a table like this:

In 1889, Debussy is reported to have held a number of conversations with his former teacher Ernest Guiraud that explored harmonic possibilities at the piano. These discussions were reported by a younger pupil of Guiraud’s, Maurice Emmanuel, who transcribed both the spoken discussion and the actual chord progressions that Debussy demonstrated:

Chords, featuring chromatically altered sevenths and ninths and progressing unconventionally, explored by Debussy in a "celebrated conversation at the piano with his teacher Ernest Guiraud"^[1]	Chords from dialogue with Ernest Guiraud.

Stephen Walsh writes, “Emmanuel’s report is so precise and musicianly as to place its authenticity beyond question, and it sums up to the letter the aesthetic position towards which Debussy seems to have been proceeding.”^[2]

Let me know if you like it, and I'll sort out the rest for you - SchroCat (talk) 07:24, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
