24 Préludes (Books I & II)
Debussy’s 24 Prélude are often cited as the apotheosis of impressionism, as the composer experimented with compositional and pianistic elements to portray a wide array of landscapes, atmospheres, historical references, and ancient themes in miniature form. Debussy placed titles at the conclusion of each Prélude rather than at the beginning, almost as though descriptive words came as an afterthought to musical sound and imagery. In this collection of video lessons, Fred Karpoff delves into the poetic and technical content of these remarkable works, showing you to play them with confidence and ease!
