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!

Hi musiclife217, I hope it works for you -mns- ILU.

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:

Thank you ! This is more or less what I was looking for and it is very helpful ! ♪♫♪

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.

I'm looking for a scan of Widor's Fugue from the collection "Hommage a Joseph Haydn" from 1910. The other five pieces from the collection are readily available on the net-I've listed them below. Thanks. Jim

Hommage a Joseph Haydn (1910)
6 pieces pour piano sur le nom de de Haydn
1. Claude Debussy - Hommage a Haydn
2. Paul Dukas - Prelude Elegiaque sur le nom de Haydn
3. Reynaldo Hahn - Theme varie sur le nom de Hayd (ded.Lady Lewis)
4. Vincent d'Indy - Menuet
5. Maurice Ravel - Menuet sur le nom d'Haydn
6. Charles Marie Widor - Fugue

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.
