Lansing, Peter, ed |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.|This book includes free downloadable MP3s of each song.|||Scales in the Music of Debussy|The Girl with the Flaxen Hair from 'Preludes': Book 1|Rubato from 'Le Plus Que Lente'|Etüde No. 6|Dr. Gradus ad Parnassum from 'Children's Corner'|Ciaire de Lune from 'Suite Bergamasque'|Beau Soir|En Bateau from 'Petite Suite'|Prelude from 'Pour le Piano'|Reverie|Prelude No. 10 from 'Preludes': Book II|Jimbo's Lullaby from Children's Corner|Prelude No. 6 from 'Preludes': Book 1|Golliwog's Cakewalk from 'Children's Corner'|Danse Bohemienne|Le Plus Que Lente|Passapied from 'Suite Bergamasque'|Romance|Prelude from 'Preludes': Book 11|Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun|Peleas and Melisande|Excerpt|The Snow is Dancing from 'Children's Corner'|Serenade of the Doli from 'Children's Corner'|The Little Shepherd from 'Children's Corner'|Nuages from 'Nocturnes'|Sarabande from 'Pour le Piano'
