Too bad you can't zoom in to see exactly what all the scribble is about :-(

Is this one of the destroyed/lost parts of Manoir de mes reves? I remember reading something about that in Michael Dregni's book, just curious.

This score exists - I've seen it. 12 pages, written mostly in C-clef, lots of scratch-outs and erasures... There was an article in a French guitar magazine about a year ago about this symphony. They interviewed the man who has it - a Paris guitarist named Jean-Marie Pallen. In the interview he told the entire story - how Django dictated the score to Gerard Levecque, how he has worked to complete and make sense of all of it. It's a fascinating story, not yet complete, and with luck there will be more to tell soon.
