Claire De Lune
from Suite Bergamasque (For Piano Solo (Original Version, Unedited))
By Claude Debussy

https://prod.sheetmusicplus.com/title/claire-de-lune-sheet-music/1567943

Solo piano - SMP Level 9 (Advanced)
From Suite Bergamasque (For Piano Solo (Original Version, Unedited)). Composed by Claude Debussy (1862-1918). Masterworks; Piano Solo. Kalmus Edition. Form: Suite. Impressionistic. Single piece. 7 pages. Kalmus Classic Edition #00-K03372. Published by Kalmus Classic Edition (AP.K03372).

Item Number: AP.K03372

ISBN 9780769284866. 9x12 inches. Key: Db major. English.

The original, unedited, unsimplified version of one of Debussy's most popular piano works. This ethereal, flowing section of Suite Bergamasque is diatonic and displays a conventional harmonic vocabulary in D-flat major. The title, Clair de lune, suggests a relationship to Paul Verlaine's eponymous poem, describing a vision of long-dead dancers in the moonlight. The music transmits the otherworldly, transparent, and impalpable qualities of the experience while maintaining clarity and definition. Perfect for the burgeoning late intermediate pianist.

    I knew and loved the piece before I purchased it. This is a reproduction of the original music. However, the quality of the print reproduction is poor to average. Still easily readable but not what I expected.

    When I took piano lessons as a child, Claire de Lune was instantly one of my favorites. Before I learned it myself I enjoyed hearing my mother playing the original version. When I decided to tackle the original version, to my surprise I found it much more comfortable to play...

    than the "easier" versions. All the flats initially look very daunting, but once you realize that playing on all the black keys helps your fingers flow with the notes, you'll never go back to another version.

    I have been playing the piano for many years, and this has been the song that has remained my absolute favorite. It took me a few months to learn, but it all was worth it. I found it easy to memorize (with practice) and in my opinion, it is one...

    of the greatest pieces ever written.

  • July 25, 2011 A wonderful piece of music

    I agree with those who say it is totally worth learning and the rewards are great. This particular edition is, well, the print is a little fuzzy. (Maybe it is just my copy) On bright white paper. I think I will look for another edition.
