Claude Debussy: Sheet music to download and print

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) was a French composer. Along with Maurice Ravel he is considered the most prominent figure working within the style commonly referred to as Impressionist music, though he himself intensely disliked the term when applied to his compositions. Debussy was not only among the most important of all French composers but also a central figure in all European music at the turn of the twentieth century.
Debussy's music virtually defines the transition from late-Romantic music to twentieth century modernist music. In French literary circles, the style of this period was known as Symbolism, a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.
Debussy's most famous works for piano include the 24 Preludes,the suite Children's Corner, L'isle joyeuse and Clair de lune form Suite Bergamasque.

Re: Who is the best Debussy interpreter?

Michelangeli lacks spontaneity - sometimes it sparkles with brilliance but other times it sounds overly rehearsed. Michelangeli is best in certain pieces. I like Laurent-Aimard for the Etudes, and the newer recording of the complete works by Gordon Fergus-Thompson is really amazing too (especially if you like some of the more obscure piano pieces).

Many will recommend Walter Gieseking as well, and you may like him but personally his interpretations do not sit well with me. You also have to contend with terrible audio quality, which really ruins the mood for me - I would much rather hear Debussy played on the beautiful and sonorous tones of a piano and not a piece of sheet metal placed in an ajoining room with the door closed and static playing.
