Debussy's ' Printemps ', an early work, was originally written for chorus and orchestra, but twenty years later Debussy revised it, leaving out the choral parts and giving more prominence to the part for piano'duet.
In a letter written after he had first composed it he says that ' Printemps ' had caused him ' to lead a life compared to which convicts have a leisurely time '. He intended the music to ' cover a great range of feelings '. He sought to express ' the srow and miserable birth of beings and things in nature, their gradual blossoming, and finally the joy of being born into a new life.'
