Unlike
Bach and Chopin, Claude
Debussy (1862-1918) wrote
his twenty-four Préludes
for solo piano without a
clearly organized pattern
of key relationships.
They were written from
December 1909 to April
1913, in two sets, with
twelve preludes to each
volume. Jane Mortier
delivered the premiere of
the first volume on May
3, 1911, at the Salle
Pleyel in Paris. Walter
Morse Rummel gave the
first complete
performance of the second
volume on June 12, 1913,
at the Aeolian Hall in
London. Prelude No. 5
from Book 2, subtitled
Bruyéres, bears
similarity to another of
his works for piano, La
Fille aux cheveux de lin
(The Girl with the Flaxen
Hair). The pianist
Marguerite Long, a friend
of the composer,
suggested that it sounded
reminiscent of the
mingling scent of sea
mist and pines. French
composer and arranger
Lucien Garban completed
this transcription of No.
5 from Book 2 (Bruyères)
for violin and piano in
1926. Reprint
edition.
