Bruyères, V, from Préludes deuxième livre Claude Debussy
Debussy, a French composer of the 20th century, was one of its
most remarkable personalities
and a genius in creating his own world of music. The Préludes exemplify his mastery in
coloring combined with harmonic and dynamic changes. Suggested as
afterthoughts, the titles are placed at the end of each prelude in parentheses,
as an added clue to interpretation. Debussy frequently applied his perception of
'Spanish' music to many of his compositions, as in No. 3 (... La Puerta del Vino). The Spanish-ness in Debussy's works is often a
rendition of Spanish guitar strums and rhythmic elements, at times also
reflecting a sensual quality. Junghwa
