Clair De Lune

Clair de Lune is without a doubt my favorite of Debussy’s compositions. The piece was written to reflect the emotions one experiences while experiencing the moonlight. It is written in A B A form for piano. The A part begins the piece, soft and light, the B part fills in all the empty spaces with flurries of notes and increases the dynamics. The B melody provided a contrast to the A part, using a wide range of movement and intensity while A maintains its soft and light elements.  At the end of A, the piano plays chords in way that imitates the sounds of a harp, giving the listener a true depiction of what the moonlight evokes.

[sentimentoingenuo]

Ah! como Gervásio tinha razão, como eu no fundo abominava essa gente - /os artistas/. Isto é, os falsos artistas cuja obra se encerra nas suas atitudes; que falam petulantemente, que se mostram complicados de sentidos e apetites, artificiais, irritantes, intoleráveis. Enfim, que são os exploradores da arte apenas no que ela tem de falso e de exterior.
