Notes on Debussy's Suite Bergamasque

Monday May 8, 2006
Debussy's most famous piano suite, "Suite Bergamasque" includes the famous piece, "Claire de lune" or "Moonlight." This wonderful piece of music can be heard playing on pianos across the globe and in the movies "Fantasia" and "Oceans Eleven" (which is orchestrated). Inspired by impressionist poets and artists including Monet, Debussy perfectly matched the quality he sought after.
