It's possible it was on the 20th, but as you know they did multiple performances of these around this time of year, and also I have found Mr. Marchant's box dating to be pretty accurate (Nov 19th, 1947 was what was written on the box).
@@MarchantTapeArchive Yes, by the well-known American saxophonist Elise Hall! She commissioned a number of works by predominantly French composers. Claude apparently didn't think much of the idea and the piece wasn't orchestrated until after his death. It's a product of an interesting era when the sax was finding its way into more classical works.
Yes orchestrated by Jean Roger-Ducasse - I made sure to mention him since saying it was by Debussy isn't 100% true. I don't know much more about Roger-Ducasse!
Está rapsodia de Debussy es seductora ,está versión va de la mano con esa maravillosa sensacion
The Thursday afternoon Young People's Concert was on November 20, 1947, and was broadcast live by KUOM.

I haven't heard this work in over thirty years! Love its jazzy night club by the beach vibes. Thanks for posting!
It’s not exactly a popular choice for orchestras today! It has an interesting history I don’t mention. Apparently it was commissioned.
