Deux Arabesques No 1 Andantino by Claude Debussy
Deux Arabesques No 1 Andantino by Claude Debussy (1862-1918)
|
Although quite an early work, the arabesques contain hints of Debussy’s developing musical style. The suite is one of the very early impressionistic pieces of music, following the French visual art form. Debussy seems to wander through modes and keys, and achieves evocative scenes through music. |
Notes
Arabesque No. 1. Andantino con moto. This arabesque is in the key of E major. This piece begins with parallelism of triads in first inversion, a composition technique very much used by Debussy and the impressionist movement. It leads into a larger section beginning with a left hand arpeggio in E major and a descending right hand E major pentatonic progression.
