Debussy - Children's Corner

Edizioni : G. Henle Verlag
For Piano

This “little Suite” was published in 1908 and was dedicated to the composer’s then three-year old daughter: “To my beloved little Chouchou with the tender excuses of her father for what follows below”.
The first movement, Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum, alludes to a study by Muzio Clementi. The titles of nos. 2 to 6 can be traced back to Debussy’s love of everything English. Although the music addresses childish fantasy, at the least a talented amateur is required to perform it.

• Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum
• Jimbo's Lullaby
• Serenade for the Doll
