N1  - Original; Contiene: about the suite y contents; Prélude
The introductory and improvisatory character of the baroque prelude is retained by Debussy. The joyous feeling of this prelude establishes the festive “bergamasque” setting and prepares the listener for what is to follow. The form is more complete than the usual prelude, containing first and second subjects, development, recapitulation and coda. Devices of the baroque period are in ample evidence: appoggiaturas, pedal point, development by episode, etc. This movement contains motifs that are developed in the following movements; Menuet
The various moods of the menuet are the subject of this movement. It is  not confined to “stateliness” or “daintiness” the words commonly applied to the dance. It is, in short, not for dancing but is a free and imaginative treatment, containing the elements of the menuet, charmingly varied and developed by means of fresh and original rhythmic and harmonic subtleties. The classical menuet-trio-menuet treatment is ignored in a favor of a concise single movement, consisting of exposition, development, and short, condensed recapitulation; Clair de lune (Moonlight)
Debussy’s most popular work fits like a rare gem into this setting. To hear this movement performed in its proper context may be a revealing experience. The popularity of Clair de Lune is a well deserved. It is highly original, and in this setting, it is utterly perfect. It is at once a delicate and luminescent picture of half-light and half-shadow, and a warmly lyrical expression of moods suggested by the title and by the poetic lines that inspired it.; Passepied
The early passepied was written three-in-a-measure. In 17th century France it was a second in popularity only to the menuet. It is gay and rapid in movement. The name “pass foot” is an obvious reference to one of the physical features of the dance. Debussy’s Passepied is in common time, but more than any of the other movements of this suite it is characterized by a light, repetitive staccato figure in the accompaniment, which continues throughout the piece. In the suite, it serves to restore the festive mood of the opening movement, after the introspective Clair de Lune, rounding out the work the logic of form so integral in all the music of Debussy.; Solo para Consulta en Sala
