He was born in St-Germain-en-Laye, France, and began piano studies at the Paris Conservatory at the age of 11 and composition studies at the age of 20. Debussy s music is noted for its sensory content and frequent usage of atonality. The definition of reverie is 'a state of being pleasantly lost in one s thoughts; a daydream.' The quiet, reflective passages of this beautifully simple work wander about very much as if in a dream. Reverie was originally written for piano solo but is here transcribed for oboe and piano. In three sections, basically a ternary form, the opening material is a lyrical melody over a gentle ostinato figure. Fairly innocuous harmonically, it does build to a climax of greater harmonic angst. The middle section contrasts in texture by introducing four-part chordal movement, and by modulating further afield in its tonality, the character is enlivened by a passage in the bright key of E major. The return of the opening material is an interesting melody with the ostinato figure appears both above and below. Careful listening to keep the layers well-balanced and the melody well-shaped is needed. The dynamic level is fairly restrained throughout, apart from two bars marked forte.'\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Young Sun Sunny Yoo, 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eContents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReverie\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArabesque No. 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBruyeres from Preludes, Book II\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrelude from Suite Bergamasque\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMenuet from Suite Bergamasque\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"International Music Company (IMC)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968484725030,"sku":"I3319","price":18.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/50000000000I3319_d.jpg?v=1697513237","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/debussy-c-album-of-five-pieces","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
