Clair de lune (from Suite Bergamasque) by Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Arranged by Allan Small. For Piano. Masterworks; Piano Solo; Solo. Simply Classics Solos. Impressionistic; Masterwork Arrangement. SMP Level 8 (Early Advanced). Sheet. 4 pages. Published by Alfred Music Publishing (AP.12891).

ISBN 0739010522. Impressionistic; Masterwork Arrangement.

Simplified Masterwork Solo version of one of Debussy's most popular piano works. This ethereal, flowing section of Suite Bergamasque is diatonic and displays a conventional harmonic vocabulary, transposed to the Key of C. The title, 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 elementary pianist.

DEFINITLY A MORALE BOOSTER-EASY

this lovely piece is easy to learn, but much interpretation is possible. as a pianist who had not played for 50 years, this was a pleasure to learn so quickly.

Beautiful Piece of Music

I played this in the key of C when I was younger and was looking for the sheet music again. I should have known when this one was only 3 pages that it wasn't the entire piece - wish I could find it....
