Claude Debussy

Sylvia Hewig-Trscher (Editor, Fingering Piano)

You do not need to be a piano virtuoso to enter into the dream world of French Impressionism. With Debussy this is especially straightforward because he knows how to create masterly miniatures possessing poetic depth, even with simple technical means. Clair de lune is probably the best known of these, though by no means the only example, as our selection here proves. And whoever works through this volume successfully can then play a real concert piece in the shape of La cathdrale engloutie, the final work in our selection.
