Debussy’s Préludes are 24 pieces for solo piano, divided into two books of 12 preludes each. Unlike some notable collections of preludes from prior times, such as Chopin’s or Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier, Debussy’s do not follow a strict pattern of key signatures.
La Soirée dans Grenade, the second piece from Estampes, a composition for piano written by Claude Debussy, uses the Arabic scale and mimics guitar strumming to evoke images of Granada, Spain.
