DEFINITELY OUT OF PRINT

When H.W.Gray, the American publisher of this Suite in 1959, ceased definitively his activities, he gave back the copyright of this Suite to Jean Langlais, who decided to ask Universal Edition (Wien) to reprint 5 parts of this Suite under the title of "Troisième Symphonie", changing the titles for French titles: n°1 became Introduction, n°2 "Un Dimanche à New-York, n° 3, Cantabile, n°5, Intermezzo, and n° 8 Orage. and the composer shortened n° 2 and 8.

Later, in 1977, he asked the french publisher Combre to insert n° 6 and 7 in the book "Mosaïque" 2, unchanged but again with French titles ("Sure la tombe de Buffalo Bill" et "Boystown, lieu de paix")

Only n° 4, "Confirmation in Chicago" remained unpublished.
