Kritisch durchgesehen und mit Fingersätzen von Detlef Kraus.

This piece is straightforward in its construction but highly advanced in its harmonies, and links up with the widely popular, 19th-century tradition of the 'night piece' or 'nocturne' for piano. Its t...

In his youth, when still searching for his own personal style, Debussy composed a series of short, stand-alone piano pieces. He took traditional genres such as the ballade, mazurka, nocturne and waltz...

Ravel had limitless admiration for Debussy's famous orchestral work, going so far as to say in an interview that it was his innermost wish to die to the sounds of this 'unique marvel in the whole of m...

Slow waltzes enjoyed a special vogue in Parisian salons of the early twentieth century, leading Debussy - with a twinkle in his eye - to produce his piano waltz 'La plus que lente' ('The Slower-than-S...

Debussy intentionally did not place titles at the top of his Préludes for piano (HN 383), published in 1910, but merely wrote them at the end and in parentheses - almost as a belated comment on the pi...

En los "Nocturnos" para orquesta y coro femenino, compuestos entre 1897 y 1899, Debussy hace realidad su concepto de que la forma musical debe surgir libremente del material. Con la estructura tripart...

The first of Debussy's larger piano works was published in 1901. The slow middle movement had already been written in 1894. This grave Sarabande in the old style was published in a newspaper supplemen...

Debussy had originally planned the work with the Suite bergamasque (HN 381) in mind, but then published it separately in October 1904, with good reason. He was so taken with the brilliance and inventi...

The cycle with three movements, composed at the end of 1907 and published at the beginning of the next year, contains a singular innovation: Debussy notated the highly differentiated piano part that g...

Debussy composed this cycle, and other masterful late works, in the summer of 1915. He had withdrawn to a country house near Dieppe with his family and composed with fevered concentration. The self-cr...

Between the years 1880-1882 Debussy occasionally accompanied Nadescha von Meck, Tchaikovsky's patroness, on journeys, also working as her house pianist. At the beginning of 1881 she thanked Debussy fo...
