French Piano Music

[musiclife217]

Hi Board,

Does anyone have or can recommend where to find an edition of Debussy's famous Clair de Lune from the Bergamasque Suite that actually includes FINGERING - I'm looking for an edition that is actually edited to some degree for a student's learning...

Thanks all!

Margery Halford's Debussy: An Introduction to his Piano Music is a good student volume with fingering for this and many other popular pieces.

Hugh Sung has a bunch of how-to videos on Clair de lune with his own fingering:

Alexei Lubimov is playing a piano version of Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune on a new ECM recording. I haven't seen a note as to whose transcription it might be.

It looks like Debussy's own transcription for two pianos, played with Alexei Zuev.

Here is Joseph Leybach's Fantaisie Brillante for Delibes' Lakme. Interestingly (also sadly), some of the famous melodies from the opera aren't in it.

One of a couple of new French pieces just in. This is one of a few Duvernoy (three I think). A few more unusual Gallic folk as well, enough to keep the scanner busy for a while.
