Jardins sous la pluie, the third ans last piece from Estampes, a composition for piano written by Claude Debussy, describes a garden in the Normandy town of Orbec during an extremely violent rainstorm. Throughout the piece, there are sections that evoke the sounds of the wind blowing, a thunderstorm raging, and raindrops dropping. It makes use of the French folk melodies Nous n’irons plus aux bois and Dodo, l’enfant do. Chromatic, whole tone, major and minor scales are used in this movement. – Martha Argerich
