Debussy Claude - Piano Works Vol.2

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. Claude Debussy had difficulties finishing his last major work, the Sonata for Violin and Piano. This can be seen in the many drafts which have been handed down and the fact that the cycle for which it was conceived was left unfinished. The work originated under the impact of Debussy' s progressing illness as well as the First World War. The first edition, published during the final year of Debussy' s life, contains many rhythmic errors. The non-autograph metronome marks as well as the discrepancies between the separate violin part and the violin part in small print in the piano score are two problems that have affected the work' s later reception. Both are examined here in a fresh light. In addition to the Sonata, this edition contains arrangements of „La fille aux cheveux de lin' and „Il pleure dans mon coeur' by the American violinist Arthur Hartmann. It was Hartmann who inspired Debussy to make an arrangement of his well-known piano piece „Minstrels' , also included in our edition. - Debussy' s complete works for violin and piano - With arrangements by Debussy' s acquaintance Hartmann - Informative Foreword (Eng/Fr/Ger) - Critical Commentary (Eng)/ Répertoire / Violon et Piano

Piano Works Volume II-To mark the 150th anniversary of Debussy?s birth in 2012 Henle are proud to present a tribute to his piano solo works in three volumes available as a paperbound or a clothbound edition. As a publishing house whose main focus ison piano music it was important for Henle to give a special place to the works of Claude Debussy the innovator of piano style. Thus since the early 1980s they have steadily been publishing single editions of all of Debussy?simportant works for the piano. Henle's editor Ernst-Günter Heinemann has worked closely with the French Debussy scholar François Lesure to present Debussy?s elaborate music in high quality Urtext editions. Beginning with the'Danse bohémienne' from 1880 all of the single works from Henle's catalogue have been drawn together in these three volumes arranged according to their date of composition. And as a little 'encore' Henle have included thePrélude to the cantata 'La Damoiselle élue' in volume I. Each of the three volumes contains true highlights for the piano. But the short and lesser known works also offer a glimpse at the modern classical composer Debussy from adifferent angle. In addition each volume contains a helpful glossary with all of Debussy?s often very vivid performance instructions translated into English and German. Bon anniversaire Claude Debussy!

Simplified Masterwork Solo 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, transposed to the Key of C. 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 elementary pianist. / Piano

Clair de Lune is one of the most famous Piano works by Claude Debussy. Strictly speaking it is the third movement of the four-movement 'Suite bergamasque'. Due to its fascinating tonal poetry and its moderate technical demands it soon became one of the most popular and most frequently performed individual pieces by Debussy which is why the Wiener Urtext Edition now publishes a separate edition on the occasion of the composer's 150th birthday. Debussy's music reflects the poem of the same name 'Clair de Lune' by Paul Verlaine which outlines the landscape of the soul of a faraway Arcadia in which reminiscences of the ancient'fêtes galantes' of the 'ancien régime' are combined with the modern sound experiments of the fin de siècle. In this edition Verlaine's poem is printed not only in the original French version but also in German and English translations preceding the musical text.
