Prélude À l'Après-MIDI d'Un Faune/Trois Nocturnes

One of the most influential composers of the twentieth century, Claude Debussy overturned traditional concepts of form, harmony, rhythm, and orchestral coloration in creating a body of music characterized by innovation on the highest level. Among his most popular works are the compositions in this volume: Pr?lude ? "l'apr?s-midi d'un faune," one of the great seminal pieces of its time, despite its brevity; and the three Nocturnes ("Clouds," "Festivals," and "Sirens") -- exquisite, evocative models of impressionism. These important full scores are reproduced here from authoritative early editions.
