What are your favorite Debussy pieces?

[chatoto]

Here is my top 3:
1. Étude pour les arpèges
2. Ilse joyeuse
3. Reflet dans l'eau

[awesom_o]

Suite bergamasque! 

[chatoto]

Ah ,the young Debussy

[inverted]

Danse Sacree et Profane
Jardins Sous la Pluie
Pagodes
The Arabesques
Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun
Gollywogs Cakewalk
The String Quartet

And all of the pieces already mentioned. Oh and La Mer. Basically all of his music, I've never heard a piece he wrote that I didn't like except maybe the Cello Sonata. A very strong contender for my favourite composer.

I think his Nocturne (although I believe it's titled Nocturno?) is GORGEOUS.

[nanabush]

The last bars of the Nocturne are brilliant.  That last little upward phrase imo perfectly complements the painting "Starry Night over the Rhone".

SOO GOOD!

I am in love with Pagodes, Reflets dans l'Eau, Etudes pour les Arpèges Composées, and pretty much all of his other stuff.

[ale_ius]

I actually like the Nocturne ( the real one by that name). One of my favorites

[thorn]

As his piano music goes, the post-Pour le piano works.

I am in love with this wonderful transcription of the Faune:

Outside the piano, I've always had a special place for Syrinx which was the first Debussy piece I played in my past life as a flautist.  

His orchestral Nocturnes were his best by that name

My list:

Ballade,
Estampes collection (Pagodes my favourite)
Reverie
Prelude to an afternoon of a faun
Homage A. S. Pickwick from Preludes

[kakeithewolf]

Considering it's apparently the most downloaded piece of sheet on the site, I'm surprised no one has said Clair de Lune yet.

[g_s_223]

Préludes Livre I.
Pelléas et Mélisande.

[awesom_o]

Considering it's apparently the most downloaded piece of sheet on the site, I'm surprised no one has said Clair de Lune yet.

It's no. 3 in the Suite I mentioned.

It's no. 3 in the Suite I mentioned.

Ah. I didn't know it was part of a suite.

The Images would have to be my favourite, especially

-Reflets dans l'eau
-Mouvement (which is often ruined with too much pedal )
-and Poissons d'or

[mattpianist]

I absolutely love L'isle joyeuse, but am also enamored with the sonorities in the Toccata from Pour le Piano.

[david456103]
