Comments: I don't know too much of Debussey's work (that will change once I get my arse in gear and sort out my History of Classical Music – no, I haven't forgotten it! - but I do know this piece, as do most aficionados of good classical music. Even if you're not one, you'll surely have heard it as it's been used in ads, films, on TV, just about everywhere. One of the most relaxing piano pieces, along with Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata and Chopin's
Nocturnes that you will ever hear. Just beautiful. Ethereal, fragile, sad, dreamy, emotional, powerful, wistful, and so much more.
