Suite bergamasque (L. 75) is a beloved piano suite by Claude Debussy, composed beginning around 1890, when the composer was 28 years old. However, he made significant revisions to the work before it was finally published in 1905. The suite is best known for its third movement, “Clair de lune,” which has become not only one of Debussy’s most iconic compositions, but also one of the most famous pieces in the entire classical piano repertoire.

Structure of the Suite
Suite bergamasque consists of four movements:

Prélude – Moderato tempo rubato, F major, 4/4
Menuet – Andante, A minor, 3/4
Clair de lune – Andante très expressif, D♭ major, 9/8
Passepied – Allegretto ma non troppo, F♯ minor, 4/4
The excerpt featured here is the third movement, “Clair de lune.”

Clair de lune
Written in D♭ major and marked andante très expressif, Clair de lune (meaning “moonlight” in French) is set in compound triple meter (9/8). Its title is inspired by the poem Clair de lune by Paul Verlaine, evoking a dreamlike atmosphere of gentle light and reflection.

Though Debussy also composed two vocal settings of Verlaine’s poem for voice and piano, this instrumental movement is a separate and independent work, not to be confused with those song settings.

This arrangement is for solo flute.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
