Claude Debussy’s two books of Preludes, implying homage to both Chopin and Bach, revel in the composer’s innovative piano techniques. Among French music’s most avant-garde expressions, they also contain some of Debussy’s most atonal sorties. The second book was published in 1913.
La puerta del vino is one of the several gates that allow access to the Alhambra, overlooking Granada, and evokes a habanera rhythm. Tanya Gabrielian
