🇫🇷Claude Debussy ： Preludes 2 “Ondine” C-Dur

This prelude evokes an undine through sparkling movement and light, graceful gestures. Fine figurations travel across the registers, while fragments of melody and the colors of the chords continually change expression. Within its agile progress, the piece includes fleeting lyrical moments and touches of shadow, creating an interplay of fantasy and playfulness. In performance, the rapid passages should be kept clear and even without force, and the pedal used carefully so that the resonance does not become blurred. Sudden dynamic changes and accents deserve close attention; the flow should remain uninterrupted while preserving a sense of lightness and suggesting the shimmer of sound and the rippling surface of water.
