Work introduction
The Suite bergamasque was created around 1890 and is one of Debussy's most famous works. The Prélude movement is now available in an arrangement for flute ensemble.
The tonal diversity of the flute family is particularly suitable for the stylistics of french music. The original sequence was Prélude, Minuet, Promenade sentimentale and Pavan. However, the four-movement work was published in 1905 with the movements: Prélude, Menuet, Clair de lune and Passepied.
Prélude has the tempo marking “Moderato tempo rubato”. The strongly figured melody with the recurring flowing sixteenth note movements corresponds to almost baroque polyphony.
