Images: Reflets Dans l'eau
on: November 26, 2011, 01:29:30 AM
Hello, this is the first post and so it'll too serve as my introduction...
I'm an ameatur Jazz/Classical student and have only just become aquainted with the constellations of Debussy... though it is all I have listened to since.

It's brief because I have oatmeal on the stove!

So, my question comes with the circumstance that I'm just learning to read for the first time since my childhood lessons. I worked through Clair de Lune fine but Images: Reflets dans L'eau has proved itself challenging in a couple of spots just on the first page!

One is m. 9-10, if I could just have those chordes spelled out for me... it's the double flats where I get confused. Same thing with m. 14.

I think I know it but confirmation would be most appreciated.

Thanks! I look forward to contributing to this forum, surely as the voice naivity to entice those wiser into responding... out of pity or compassion!

-Cooper
