- 403 - DOC . N ° 2 Dossier DEBUSSY B.N. Rés . Vm . Dos . 13 ( 21 ) Lettre de Maud Allan à Debussy Piccadilly Hotel 30 Sept. 1910 Monsieur Claude Debussy 80 , avenue du Bois de Boulogne Paris Dear Sir , I have received your letter enclosing contract , but there are one or two alterations which are necessary and as you rightly say it is bett 1 to have everything cleared up beforehand . I shall be glad if you will kindly amend the contract which I return herewith , to cover these points . Clause 2 It was distinctly understood that after I had paid a Royalty of 50 Francs for a maximum of 500 performances , that I should have the exclusive right to the music without any further payment , and should I desire to do so , I was to be at liberty to allow anybody else to use the music , subject however , to the various restrictions imposed by your contract . I presume the Theatre de Musique would cover Concerts Halls and I must have the rights for South Africa , Australia and North - South America as well as Europe . Clause 3 It was agreed that any royalty you might get by reason of the sale of this music should be divided equally between us . Clause 5 It is not quite clear wether in the event of your breaking the contract , which I do not anticipate , the 10,000 frang which I pay on the signing of the contract is returnable IN ADDITION to the indemnity of 10,000 francs . Clause 6 I think this should read " this contract is subject to the juridiction of the french and english courts " . I presume it is not necessary to put in the contract that we should go through the scenario together , so that you may have the opportunity of writing the music in harmony with the general theme . If you kindly amend the contract , embodying these alterations and return to me , I shall be pleased to sign same . Kind Regards . Your faithfully , Maud Allan
