Publisher Description:

Here, in one volume, are two bodies of work that, perhaps more than any others, reveal the essence of Claude Debussy's extraordinary expressiveness and his innovative gifts for musical imagery. Each book contains twelve preludes for the piano, many of them known to today's musical audiences because of their great popularity with pianists worldwide. Ranging from the mystical La Cath drale engloutie to the capricious Ondine to the explosive Feux d'artifice, they offer special joys to pianists of varying levels of ability.
Other favorites from the piano repertoire in this collection include: Danseuses de Delphes, Ce qu'a vu le Vent d'Ouest, La fille aux cheveux de lin, La danse de Puck, and Feuilles mortes. Some are technically simple, others comparatively difficult. All of them afford pianists an unparalleled opportunity to explore and develop their expressive range.
This authoritative edition of the complete Preludes, with a helpful glossary of French terms, has been carefully printed on durable paper and sturdily bound to provide students and lovers of fine music a lifetime of study and enjoyment of these beloved masterpieces of piano composition.
