Claude Debussy: The Little Negro: Piano: Instrumental WorkFormat : Sheet music Debussy occasionally reacted to musical trends in his compositions as was the case with American ragtime. Aside from Golliwogg s Cakewalk in Children s Corner (HN 382) The Little Negro is even todaya standard piece in modern crossover orientated Piano teaching. Debussy did actually compose the piece for a Piano method namely that of Théodore Lack published in 1909. In 1934 the publishing house Leduc produced a singleversion in which measures 22 to 54 are repeated unlike in the first edition. The piece is not particularly difficult and is very effective.
