Images, Bk 2

Composed in 1907, this collection features three contrasting pieces that are concise, dramatic, and rich in vivid sound imagery. Debussy's work establishes Impressionism as a piano style, employing a lush musical language to convey the mood and essence of each piece. The French titles have been translated into English by Maurice Hinson, who also provides helpful practice suggestions. Additionally, the collection includes an excellent CD from the Naxos label, enhancing the listening experience.
