The original, un-simplified version of one of Debussy’s most popular Piano works. This ethereal, flowing section ofSuite Bergamasqueis diatonic and displays a conventional harmonic vocabulary in D-flat major. Thetitle,Clair De Lune, suggests a relationship to Paul Verlaine’s eponymous poem, describing a vision of long-dead dancers in the moonlight. The music transmits the otherworldly, transparent, and impalpable qualities of the experience while maintaining clarity and definition. Perfect for the burgeoning late intermediate pianist.
