Hi!

I’d like to share an analysis of the A section from the slow movement of Debussy’s string quartet

This slow and tender section reconciles the genre’s formalist tendencies (highly organized motivic and formal logic) with the composer’s impressionist and modernist tendencies (sensuous harmonies and expanded pitch collections).

I would love to hear your thoughts about this!
