Description:
These beautiful arrangements capture the essence of Debussy's most endearing famous piano preludes.

Performers will have to maintain a strong command in understanding when the phrases will ebb and flow. Included are:

Bruyeres - Prelude No. V from book II.
Des pas sur la neige - Prelude No. VI from book I.
General Lavine - Prelude No. VI from book II.
