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.
