Claude Debussy

CELLO SONATA,
VIOLIN SONATA
AND SONATA FOR
FLUTE, VIOLA AND HARP

This volume contains Debussy’s last three chamber works, written between 1915 and 1917, all of them sonatas of individual charm and definite 20th-century character. Debussy described his Cello Sonata, rich in unconventional, sometimes surrealistic effects, as “Pierrot angry at the moon.” The Violin Sonata integrates jazz influences with Debussy’s customary impressionism. Of the Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp, a work sparkling with spontaneity and innovation, Debussy commented, “I don’t know whether it should move us to laughter or to tears. Perhaps both.” All three of these frequently performed and recorded works are reprinted from authoritative French editions.
