Le Langage Musical de Debussy

Analyse / Theorie
The 24 Preludes may be considered emblematic of Chopin's style, as much for their evocative and emotional power as for the richness and daring of their language. The Preludes lend themselves particularly well to a painstaking analysis; borne by vigour and ever-renewed imagination, the work reveals meticulous craftsmanship, demanding writing and love of detail in a perpetual quest for perfection. The author proposes multiple angles of approach without limiting himself to harmonic and formal analysis and also studying the particularities of the melodic writing and instrumental treatment. It also recalls the necessity of linking technical analysis elements with an overall musical comprehension of the work. Text in French.
