Product Description

"Voiles" is a composition by Claude Debussy for solo piano from 1909. It is the second piece in a set of twelve préludes published in 1910.

 The title of the piece may be translated to English as either veils or sails; both meanings can be connected to the musical structure.

 Except for some mild, localised chromaticism and a short pentatonic passage, the entire piece uses the whole tone scale.

 I have taken some liberties with the arpeggios in the 2nd half of the piece and also ignored the grace notes.I include some ossia bars for the clarinet.

 For something different, try this piece. (Treat the tempo as 4/8 rather than 2/4 i.e. count it in 4) Well worth the challenge!

I have arranged all of these preludes from both books:

Book 1

Danseuses de Delphes
Voiles
Les sons et le parfums..
Des pas sur le neige 
La fille aux cheveux de lin
La Cathédral engloutie
Minstrels

Bk.2

Bruyères
General Levine
Hommage à S.Pickwick Esq
Canope
