Moonlight * лунный �вет * 月光 * Σεληνόφωτο * Měsí�ní svit, Claude Debussy, 1890. Monumental impressionist masterpiece - perfect for Valentine's Day.
Duration ca. 3:50 Score: 8 pages. 

Debussy was inspired by this poem by Paul Verlaine to compose this work:

Your soul is a chosen landscape
Where charming masquerades and dancers are promenading,
Playing the lute and dancing, and almost
Sad beneath their fantastic disguises.

While singing in a minor key
Of victorious love, and the pleasant life
They seem not to believe in their own happiness
And their song blends with the moonlight,

With the sad and beautiful moonlight,
Which sets the birds in the trees dreaming,
And makes the fountains sob with ecstasy,
The tall slim water streams among the marble statues.

Paul Verlaine, 1869

The first movement of the Sonata was the subject of the 2013 Burke & Bagley Prize. Violinist Leonid Zhelezny and pianist Andrey Iliushkin won the Prize with this outstanding video:.
