The theme of this year’s series will be Debussy’s Preludes. Composed between 1909 and 1913, these are testament to Debussy’s innovative approach to piano music and his mastery of impressionistic techniques. The two books of preludes, each containing twelve pieces, showcase Debussy’s ability to evoke vivid imagery, moods, and atmospheres through music.
