Serenade for the Doll L 113 No.3

Claude Debussy

What's this piece like?
Captivated by his 3 years-old daughter Emma (nickname Chou-Chou), Claude Debussy composed The Children's Corner, both to entertain her and to explore music through the eyes of a child. The Children's Corner isn't for children to play, nor is it exclusively about them: it incorporates both the experience of being young and the nostalgia of watching a child grow up.
Who's this piece for?
This is a great piece for intermediate level pianists with a solid foundation and strong technique.
5+ pages
Impressionist
