Description
His music is noted for its sensory component and frequent eschewing of tonality. Debussy’s work usually reflected the activities or turbulence in his own life. In French literary circles, the style of this period was known as symbolism, a movement that directly inspired Debussy both as a composer and as an active cultural participant.
“La Soiree dans Grenade” is the second movement within the composition “Estamps” for solo piano, finished in 1903. La soirée dans Grenade uses the Arabic scale and mimics guitar strumming to evoke images of Granada, Spain. PWM Edition.
