Musician's or Publisher's Notes

Reflets dans l'eau  (from Images Book I )             Claude Debussy

The two books of Images were composed by Debussy from 1905 - 1907.  Each book contains three pieces which are independent works and not intended to be played all together. 

Reflets dans l'eau ("Reflections on the Water") opens in a slow tempo with a melody in the left hand much of the time while the right hand plays a set of chords to accommodate the melody. It is a gently poetic evocation of ripples moving across water.      Anna Petrova
