Les
collines d'Anacapri (The Hills of Anacapri) Claude Debussy
This prelude is the fifth in a collection of twelve
that Debussy began in late 1909. A
decade later, he created a second collection of twelve.
Debussy never intended the pieces to be performed in a
series; he thought of them as individual works. The titles were given by the
composer to create images or sensory associations for the listener. The titles appear
at the end of each movement, allowing the performer to discover impressions for himself, without being guided by Debussy's own thoughts. Anacapri is
a comune-like a county or township-on
the island of Capri, to which Debussy was a frequent visitor. Victor Goldberg
