G. Henle URTEXT edition. The first of Debussy's larger piano works was published in 1901. The slow middle movement had already been written in 1894.

G. Henle URTEXT edition. In 1913, three years after publication of the Pr‚ludes I, another collection of twelve Pr‚ludes appeared. The pieces are longer and make use of a very wide register, which is why Debussy mainly notated them on three staves. As with the first volume of Pr‚ludes the programmatic additions only appeared at the end of each piece. The cycle closes with the virtuosic and brilliant Feux d'artifice, fireworks of pianistic bravura in the true sense of the word. The piano writing a...

One such was the "Valse romantique", published by Choudens of Paris in 1891 and thus written at the same time as his famous piano works "Two Arabesques" and the "Suite bergamasque". This charming waltz is of moderate difficulty and...
