Suite bergamasque | Moon -- Songs and music -- History and criticism | Music | MusicDDC classification: 786.2'1858 Summary: Debussy himself had little regard for 'Clair de Lune,' and scholars have thus far followed suit-until now. 'Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune' is the first book wholly dedicated to an historical, cultural, and analytical investigation of the French composer's famous composition for piano. Author Gurminder Kaur Bhogal explores why, over any other piece in Debussy's repertoire for piano, 'Clair de Lune' achieved stardom in the decades following the composer's death, and how, as the third movement of the 'Suite Bergamasque,' it managed to almost fully eclipse the other movements. Drawing on a broad range of excerpts from classical and popular music, commercials, film, and video games, Bhogal examines the various ways in which listeners have engaged with the piece. She also places it in its proper artistic context.
