3. Clair de lune: from Suite Bergamasque (Alfred Masterwork Edition)
Author: by Claude Debussy
Published at: Alfred Music (July 1, 1982)
ISBN: 978-0739012925
The original, 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. Edited by Willard A.Palmer.

Author: by Claude Debussy
Published at: Dover Publications; Illustrated edition (May 1, 1983)
ISBN: 978-0486244419
“It may be in fact that I have taken on a task that is too much for me: there is no precedent, so I am obliged to invent new forms.” Claude Debussy. Unquestionably one of the most influential of modern composers, Claude Debussy (18621918) overturned traditional concepts of form, harmony, and coloring in creating a body of music characterized by innovation, individuality of style, and perfection of workmanship.
Among his most popular, most performed, most recorded works are the three compositions reprinted in this volume: the revolutionary Prlude l’aprs-midi d’une faune, which, in a sense, “awakened” modern music; the exquisite Nocturnes, shimmering models of delicate impressionism; and La Mer, complex, suggestive, a masterpiece of orchestral texture.
This Dover volume presents the complete scores of all three works reproduced from early French editions in one convenient source. Musicians and music lovers will appreciate this inexpensive edition of a trio of orchestral favorites: pieces that mark not only key points in the composer’s personal progress but also in the progress of modern music as well.

Debussy was not referring to “arabesque” in the form of a ballet term but rather to the meaning of “arabesque” as a piece with exquisite detail and clear repetitions of ideas and artistic balance. These pieces were written in 1888 during Debussy’s earliest compositional period.
