Arabesque No. 1 in E major, L. 66

by Claude Debussy

PianoImpressionistCharacter piece~5 minintermediate

One of Debussy's earliest and most beloved piano works. The intertwining melodic lines evoke the decorative arabesques of visual art. Though it predates his fully mature Impressionist style, its flowing triplet figures and luminous harmonies already hint at the revolutionary composer to come.
