publisher.
Auguste Durand was a composer-organist (a Saint-Sulpice colleague of Saint-Saëns) who founded the press to publish the contemporaries he believed in. By 1900 he had signed exclusively the entire generation: Saint-Saëns, Fauré, d'Indy, Dukas, Debussy, Ravel.
Debussy's Préludes, Estampes, Images, La Mer, Pelléas et Mélisande — Durand. Ravel's Gaspard de la nuit, Daphnis et Chloé, Boléro, the two piano concertos — Durand. The white-cream cover with the publisher's monogram is the format the whole French tradition uses.
