Notes from the arranger<\/h3>\n

The piano suite Children\u2019s Corner<\/em> (1908) may have been inspired by Debussy\u2019s beloved daughter Chouchou, but at the time of composition she could hardly have been expected to play it herself, being barely three. Technically, the suite is within the capabilities of most fourth-year students (The Snow is Dancing is the hardest) but the \u2018Children\u2019 of the title are probably not intended to be the performers. Debussy gives us six little sound-pictures of an age of innocence.<\/p>\n

Gradus ad Parnassum is Latin for \u201cThe Way to the Muses\u201d and, in the sense of \u201cpractice makes perfect,\u201d was used by Clementi for his collection of piano studies. Debussy gives us Doctor Gradus, and begins by imitating the style of such studies, the bane of every student\u2019s early days. In the Cakewalk we find a piece in the manner of the Negro minstrel bands popular at the turn of the last century. But the middle section changes the mood radically, as Debussy seeks to raise us to heights of passion with the voluptuous music of \u201cTristan and Isolde.\u201d<\/p>\n
