Suite bergamasque (L. 75) is a piano suite by Claude Debussy, and one of the composer's most famous works for the instrument. He began composing it around 1890, at the age of 28, but significantly revised it just before its 1905 publication.
The composer was initially unwilling to use these relatively early piano compositions because they were not in his mature style, but in 1905 he accepted the offer of a publisher who thought they would be successful, given the fame Debussy had gained in the intervening fifteen years. While it is not known how much of the Suite was written in 1890 and how much was written in 1905, it is clear that Debussy changed the names of at least two of the pieces. "Passepied" had first been composed under the title "Pavane", while "Clair de lune" was originally entitled "Promenade sentimentale". These names come from poems by Paul Verlaine. The title of the third movement of Suite bergamasque is taken from Verlaine's poem "Clair de lune", which refers to bergamasks in the opening stanza.
Suite bergamasque consists of four movements:
Prélude (Moderato tempo rubato, F major, 4/4)
Menuet (Andante, A minor, 3/4)
Clair de lune (Andante très expressif, D? major, 9/8)
Passepied (Allegretto ma non troppo, F? minor, 4/4) |
