{"product_id":"claude-debussy_preludes-childrens-corner_2018","title":"Préludes Children's Corner","description":"Even though Debussy did not like to be labeled as an impressionist, the Prelude that opens the first Book (1910), Danseuses de Delphes, begins with what appears to be the true musical representation of the \"blurred line\": a melody is embedded in a texture of chords, but the line is obscured by the profusion of voices surrounding it. It is said that the Prelude was inspired by a sculpture displayed at the Louvre depicting three Greek priestesses dancing. As for Book II, it is governed by a certain realism: the ancient myths have been replaced by scenes from turn-of-the-century Paris, the romantic Mediterranean gives way to views of a world exhausted by colonialism, and glimpses conveyed by postcards and certain newspaper articles permeate various Preludes, yet a certain cheerfulness remains. The six pieces that make up the cycle Children’s Corner (1908) evoke the childhood memories of an adult. They are dedicated to his daughter Chouchou. Paavali Jumppanen expresses his immense musical talent through the most demanding classical works. This internationally renowned pianist effortlessly transitions from Bach's formidable Art of Fugue to the complexities of Schönberg's Piano Concerto or the powerful concertos of Brahms to Beethoven's dramatic sonatas.","brand":"Claude Debussy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57969664721240,"sku":null,"price":23785322.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0761195130421.jpg?v=1786746986","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/claude-debussy_preludes-childrens-corner_2018","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
