Claude Debussy:
Preludes
2er livre

Three years after the publication of the first volume, the second volume of Debussy’s Préludes was published in 1913. Here the music reflects the impressions of Stravinsky’s music on the composer. In his new Urtext edition, the musicologist Thomas Kabisch who specialises in Debussy’s piano music presents a reliable text based on the latest research findings and all known sources. The readings and editorial decisions are recorded in the Critical Commentary (Eng).

The musicologist Thomas Kabisch who specialises in Debussy's piano music has edited this Urtext edition based on the latest research findings, resulting in an authoritative publication. The edition has a clear layout, practical page-turns and fingering by the experienced teacher Martin Widmaier, professor of piano at the Robert Schumann University, Dusseldorf. This fingering traces musical lines and supports sensitive sound production. There are also special fingering exercises to assist in the learning of the chordal structures. Thus, the edition provides the necessary prerequisites for studying these works.
