Prelude (Suite Bergamasque)
HIS FRIEND Manuel de Falla once sent Debussy from Granada a picture post-card of the famous gate known as the Puerta del Vino. Debussy was immediately fired to translate his impression of it into music. This piece is, therefore, a picture of a noisy part of the city, centring round a tavern patronised by mule drivers, who shout and beat time with their hands to accompany the lithe movements of a Spanish dancing-girl. The Spanish colour of the music is all the more remarkable as Debussy had at that time never been in any part of Spain. UNDINE, an elemental spirit of the water, as gnomes were of the earth, and salamanders of the air, had no soul until by her love for a mortal she was given one, and suffered, in consequence, all the pains and penalties of human existence. Debussy has pictured Undine, tender and alluring, rising out of the water,, caressed by the waves, and filled with thoughts of her lover.
THE SUITE BERGAMASQUE belongs to Debussy's earlier period, and suggests the contemporary influence of Verlaine, the poet, allied to a regard for the older writers for the clavichord, whom Debussy looked upon as his spiritual ancestors.
THE SARABANDE AND PRELUDE also belong to the earlier phase of Debussy's piano writing. Though the titles suggest only forms, the pieces are actually exquisite little fantasies, and were originally meant to appear in a series called by the name Debussy used for a later group of Pieces—Images. Debussy has himself said of the Sarabande that it should conjure up a picture of elegance, a memory of the Louvre.
