Clair de lune (Suite bergamasque, III), L. 75
by Claude Debussy
PianoImpressionistCharacter piece~5 minintermediate
The third movement of Debussy's Suite bergamasque, inspired by Verlaine's poem of the same name. Its ethereal arpeggios and delicate dynamics make it one of the most popular piano pieces ever written, though its apparent simplicity masks real interpretive depth.

The original French edition. Some engraving differences from modern Urtexts but valued for its direct connection to Debussy's lifetime.
