     Complete Piano Works

     Aldo Ciccolini - piano


     Claude Debussy (1862 - 1918) was among the most important
     French composers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth
     centuries. Although he himself disliked the association, his
     music was, and has remained, strongly associated with the
     techniques and ideals of impressionist painting as well as
     those of the French symbolist writers. His use of
     non-traditional scales and tonal structures would serve as
     paradigms for many composers to follow.

     Debussy began piano studies at the Paris Conservatory at the
     age of 11. There, he encountered the wealthy Nadezhda
     Filaretovna von Meck (Tchaikovsky's benefactress), who took him
     under her wing and, through travel, concerts and acquaintances,
     provided him with a wealth of musical experience. Most
     importantly, she exposed the young Debussy to the works of
     Russian composers, such as Borodin and Mussorgsky, who would
     remain important influences on his music.

     Debussy began composition studies in 1880, and in 1884 he won
     the prestigious Prix de Rome with his cantata L'Enfant
     prodigue. This prize financed two years of further study in
     Rome -- years that proved to be creatively frustrating. The
     period immediately following, however, would prove seminal for
     the young composer; trips to Bayreuth and the Paris World
     Exhibition (1889) established, respectively, his dislike of
     Wagner, whose music he felt was unduly influential, and his
     fascination with the music of eastern cultures, both of which
     would significantly contribute to the development of his mature
     style.

     Debussy wrote successfully in most every genre, adapting his
     distinctive compositional language to the demands of each. His
     orchestral works, of which PrΘlude α l'aprΦs-midi d'un faune
     (Prelude to the afternoon of a faun, 1894) and La Mer (The sea,
     1905) are most familiar, established him as a master of
     instrumental color and texture. It is undoubtedly this
     attention to tone color -- his layering of sound upon sound so
     that they blend to form a greater, evocative whole -- that
     established him forever as the exponent of musical
     impressionism.

     His works for solo piano, particularly his collections of
     PrΘludes and ╔tudes, which have remained staples of the
     performing repertoire since their composition, bring into
     relief his assimilation of elements from both Eastern cultures
     and antiquity -- especially pentatonicism (the use of five-note
     scales), modality (the use of scales from ancient Greece and
     the medieval church), parallelism (the parallel movement of
     chords and lines), and the whole-tone scale (the octave divided
     into six equal intervals -- arguably the most characteristic
     element of Debussy's musical language).

     His most famous opera, PellΘas et MΘlisande (1902), and his
     collections of songs for solo voice establish the strength of
     his connection to French literature and poetry. The writings of
     MallarmΘ, Maeterlinck, Baudelaire, and his childhood friend
     Paul Verlaine figure prominently in his choices of texts, and
     form a symbiosis of expression and mood with the composer's
     style.
