The Suite Bergamasque is one of the most famous Piano suites by Claude Debussy. Debussy wrote the first version of it in 1890 but the final version wasn t finished or published until 1905.The suite recalls rococo decorousness with a modern cynicism and puzzlement and contains one of Debussy's most popular pieces Clair de Lune (ca. 6.40 minutes). The other three movements are: Prelude(ca. 6 minutes) Menuet (ca. 5.15 minutes) and Passepied (ca. 5.30 minutes).Every movement in the suite reflects Debussy s non-traditional impressionist style largely influenced by symbolism.According to the traditional belief Suite Bergamasque is a basic reflection of end of the century French symbolist poet Paul Verlaine s Fêtes galantes (Gallant parties).This Urtext edition takes theoriginal edition as its basis and the comments at the end of it provide detailed information on the sources and alternative readings. A preface by François Lesure is also included.Just as most other Piano works ofDebussy Suite Bergamasque is a challenging but rewarding piece. Movements may be played separately or together.
