Debussy: Nocturnes first page (Fromont, 1900)

Up this week, a piece featured on my listening list back in either Music History II or Music Theory IV (most likely the latter). I wouldn’t have been able to state any of the themes before today, so it obviously didn’t stick with me to well over the last decade. A few times in the last week or so my wife has asked if I’ve done any Debussy for the Snooch’s Silly Symphonies. I told her that I had done Images and La Mer, but thought today, why not add to the list. And so, I will be focusing on this piece which, as I listen now, gives me many familiar themes, which will be fun to revisit.
