Product Details


Product Description

Great for exams and Eisteddfods, Le Petit Negre is taken from Debussys Childrens Corner , a collection of pieces for Piano that he dedicated to his daughter, Claude-Emma, after her death at the age of fourteen.  Debussy used language that was in common usage at the time, but some of his titles, including this one, now sound unavoidably racist.    In addition to syncopation, Debussy also uses other techniques in this piece that have been adopted by jazz musicians, for example, pentatonic scales and chromaticism.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
