From Suite Bergamasque (For Piano Solo (Original Version, Unedited)). Composed by Claude Debussy. Masterworks; Piano Solo. Kalmus Edition. Form: Suite. Impressionistic. Single piece. 7 pages. Kalmus Classic Edition #00-K03372. Published by Kalmus Classic Edition (AP.K03372).

ISBN 9780769284866. UPC: 029156040470. 9x12 inches. Key: Db major. English.

The original, unedited, unsimplified 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 in D-flat major. 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 intermediate pianist.
