Debussy- Préludes
on: June 28, 2012, 04:00:13 AM
Just curious...
What prélude from book II would contrast well with number 12 (Minstrels) from book I?

Canope
Feuilles Mortes
Bruyeres

...Bruyeres not as much, but a more brooding or atmospheric piece.  Minstrels has some very distinct motifs in it, so if you maybe looked around for a piece that lets the listener kind of sit back and experience it a bit more... maybe Brouillards?...


or... what if you took the three 'eccentric' pieces.  Minstrels, Hommage a S Pickwick and General Lavine.  I think that would be hilarious!  It might just be me... 8)

haha. Agreed. I was asked to choose one from volume I and one from volume II, and so I initially chose Minstrels and Général Lavine—eccentric. I soon realized that these préludes are very similar in style, and so perhaps it would not be the wisest choice. I'm now considering Brouillards...
