Debussy, Claude - Suite bergamasque

The four-movement suite, composed in 1890, is characteristic of the creative period of Debussy, in which he mixed "modern" and "old-fashioned" elements. The expression "bergamasque", originally used to describe a peasant Renaissance dance, stands as a code for the "Fêtes galantes" of the 18th century, which inspired Verlaine to create that collection of poems in which moonlight ("Clair de lune") also plays an important role.
