Single Edition From Hn 404-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” forpiano.Its themes and modulations are highly reminiscent of Gabriel Fauré but in its chromatic voice-leading and unusual treatment of metre – such as in the 7/4 central section – Debussy makes a statementall of his own. Nothing is known about the history of its composition.Debussy’s 1892 contract with his publisher states merely that the composer had originally called it “Interlude” but then decided uponthe far more suitable title of “Nocturne”. One of Debussy’s most popular early piano works it is now available in a Henle Urtext edition.
