This single edition it is number 10 in the first volume of the Préludes (HN 383) of 1910 shows the extent of Debussy s imagination as he conjures up the old city of Ys that has sunk into the sea. Debussyenjoyed playing this piece himself and also left behind a recording on Piano roll. This gives important insights into his tempi. The term prélude reminiscent of Chopin makes clear the return to traditional forms which the nowestablished composer was slowly embracing once again. The programmatic title as with all of the Préludes is only given at the end of the piece thus underlining its passing significance.
