Images III, “Rondes de Printemps" (1905)

A rare arrangement for two pianos (this was originally a piece for full orchestra)

I really do need to listen to more of Debussy.

I have heard one or two pieces for two pianos, but I had thought the infrequency of that experience was primarily due to my ignorance rather than to the rarity of such compositions.

Perchance have you played one of the parts in this duet?

@DrWatson Yes. In 1985, my mother and I played it at a party in my parents’ home. It was the first time I played the "primo" part with the treble clef and melody.

Love Debussy...

@Dino11 Me, too. He’s my favorite composer, both to play and to listen to.
