"Pour le Piano", composed at the end of the 19th century, and published by Froment in 1901, is Debussy's first major poano work. The composer, not yet 40 years ols, wad also writing "Pelleas and Melisande" at the time. The three parts of this suite - Prelude, Sarabande, and Toccata - are reminiscent of the classic sonata form. The Prelude opens with four stirring and rhythmic measures, leading into the superb pedal note on "A" which sets the tone and supports the gently resonant theme in an irresistible upward movement. Vivid, yet always eloquent chords echo the initial phrase. A cadence of scales vibrating around "B" surprises and dazzles us before the calmly triumphant conclusion.
