From Suite Bergamasque. Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Allan Small. Masterworks; Piano Solo; Solo; Solo Small Ensembles. Simply Classics Solos. Impressionistic; Masterwork Arrangement. Score. 4 pages. Alfred Music #00-12891. Published by Alfred Music (AP.12891).ISBN 9780739010525. UPC: 038081116990. English.
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.
