Debussy's Préludes are 24 pieces for solo piano, divided into two books of 12 preludes each.
Unlike some notable collections of preludes from prior times, such as Chopin's Op. 28 preludes, or the preludes from Johann Sebastian Bach's The Well-Tempered Clavier, Debussy's do not follow a strict pattern of tonal centres.
"One of Debussy’s most mysterious and enigmatic pieces, is also one of his most prophetic. The entire piece unfolds in a hieratic, strangely distant atmosphere, engendering a sensation of infinite solitude reinforced by a cadence that is not an ending — we remain suspended in the void. Once again, Debussy has fused space and time.
— Harry Halbreich"
The meditative and gentle lines of this piece have the nobility and the stately form of the antique funerary urn* which serves as a symbol.
* A Canopic Jar: used in sets of four by the ancient Egyptians as containers for the internal organs of embalmed bodies.
I have arranged all of these preludes from both books:
Book 1
Danseuses de Delphes
Voiles
Les sons et le parfums…..
Des pas sur le neige
La fille aux cheveux de lin
La Cathédral engloutie
Minstrels
Bk.2
Bruyères
General Levine
Hommage à S.Pickwick Esq
