🇫🇷Claude Debussy ： Marche des anciens Comtes de Ross

This march for piano four hands leaves a strong impression through its steady pulse and dignified, well-shaped melody. Its old-world character, suggested by the title, is enriched by the passing of melodic and accompanimental roles between the two players, creating a sense of breadth and weight. A central point of interest is to distinguish the character of each section while bringing the main melody clearly to the foreground. Performers should coordinate their breathing, preserve the forward momentum of the beat, and shape changes in dynamics with care. It is also important not to make the bass support too heavy and to blend the sonority of the chords.
