Debussy Claude - Preludes Book 2 - Piano

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE / SANTOS YAGO. Written in standard notation and tablature, nearly all the pieces in The Music of Debussy for Solo Guitar were transcribed from piano scores. The book?s repertoire represents different periods in the composer?s life and compositional style, from the legendary ?Clair de Lune? to the ?Arabesque No. 1? and some of his most famous preludes, including ?La fille aux cheveux de lin?.Achille-Claude Debussy (1862 ? 1918) developed a highly original system of harmony and musical structure that expressed the ideals of the impressionist and symbolist painters and writers of his time. Oddly enough, Debussy rejected both the term ?Impressionism? and the theoretical approach to music, declaring, ?There is no theory. You merely have to listen. Pleasure is the law.?Author, Yago Santos writes:For me, Debussy represents the most exciting period in the history of music. He accomplished something that happens very rarely, and not in every lifetime; he brought a new kind of beauty into the world. I find it incredible that he never composed a piece for the guitar; that is why I decided to arrange this collection of some of his most famous pieces / Date parution : 2023-08-12/ Recueil / Guitare

Debussy's music can be daunting to beginning pianists: his abstract sense of composition sometimes makes listeners feel lost, the harmonies are more chromatic than traditional works, and often his use of advanced keys is beyond the grasp of even more experienced players. This compilation, however, makes the composer's works highly accessible to beginning pianists.These introductory arrangements focus on Debussy's melodies and style. The more abstract works are excerpted and presented in manageable samples, and the keys are simplified. Suggested fingerings are also provided. Beginning pianists will be able to enjoy a wide variety of works that previously seemed unapproachable: 'Claire de Lune,' 'Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun,' 'Beau Soir,' 'Danse Bohémienne,' and many other etudes, preludes, and melodies. Best of all, free downloadable MP3s of each piece will familiarize players with the music. / Piano

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. There are several piano works by Debussy that lend themselves admirably to transcription. The timbre of the guitar is sympathetic to the delicacy of expression, and to many subtle graduations of dynamics and tone colour which are so compellingly effective in these works. Julian Bream transcribed two of the most popular from Book I of the Preludes - La fille aux cheveux de lin (The Girl with the Flaxen Hair) and Minstrels. / Instrumental Music / Répertoire / Guitare
