Note concernant Debusy

Cette section reprend la description donnée dans le catalogue.

Named in memory of Claude Debussy (1862-1918), famous French impressionistic composer, known particularly for his "Clair de Lune", "Jardins sous la Pluie" and "Feux d'Artifice", and more generally for his brilliant suites for the piano, such as "Estampes", "Bergamasque" and "Images". While his music is the spontaneous expression, the reflection and the image of sensation, it reaches the innermost part of one's subconscious. This effect is obtained by using free harmonies, different scales (from other cultures, e.g., in "Jardins sous la Pluie") and daring mixtures of tones. Debussy was a fervent admirer of Chopin, even to the extent of also composing two books of twelve "Preludes" and an album of "Etudes". [Ref: Minor Planet Circ. 17031]
