Debussy himself had little regard for Clair de Lune, and scholars
have thus far followed suit-until now. Claude Debussy's Clair de
Lune is the first book wholly dedicated to an historical, cultural,
and analytical investigation of the French composer's famous
composition for piano. Author Gurminder Kaur Bhogal explores why,
over any other piece in Debussy's repertoire for piano, Clair de
Lune achieved stardom in the decades following the composer's
death, and how, as the third movement of the Suite Bergamasque, it
managed to almost fully eclipse the other movements. Drawing on a
broad range of excerpts from classical and popular music,
commercials, film, and video games, Bhogal examines the various
ways in which listeners have engaged with the piece. She also
places it in its proper artistic context, through analysis
alongside the poetry of Paul Verlaine and the paintings of
Jean-Antoine Watteau. A wide range of aural, visual, and video
examples energize the narrative, and demonstrate how Clair de Lune
has come to achieve an iconic status within and beyond Debussy's
oeuvre.
