Debussy’s piano cycles and more substantial single pieces are listed as single editions in our catalogue. A further twelve, mostly shorter pieces have been collected in this little volume. The pieces in this edition cover the whole of the composer’s creative life – from the Danse bohémienne by the 18-year-old youth and the demanding, dense D’un cahier d’esquisses (From a sketchbook) to the Élégie that was published in 1916.

Thus it is warmly recommended for piano teachers.
