Claude Debussy (22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918) is among the most beloved composers in classical music.
[For last year's posts on Debussy and Stockhausen click here.]
When at the piano,
Late or soon,
You’ll have to study
“Claire de lune.”
And aged aunts, who
Hear you play,
Will sigh and nod
Their heads of gray,
And when you’re done, and
They have smiled,
They’ll say they played it
As a child --
Just as you will
On that day
When you in turn hear
Nieces play.

One of your best. My brother and sisters played it over and over.
