About this piece
The third piece of the Suite bergamasque, complete: a slow, quiet piece in D flat major in 9/8, with a long singing line over rolling broken chords and a middle section that moves through C sharp minor.
Why it is free to use
Claude Debussy died in 1918, more than 70 years ago. The notes come from the Mutopia Project's typesetting, taken from the source “E. Fromont (1905)” (Mutopia piece 1778, licence: Public Domain); we converted them to MusicXML and checked them against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note.
About this score
This is the complete piece, not an excerpt. The notes were converted from the Mutopia Project's public-domain typesetting of Clair de lune (Suite bergamasque) (piece 1778, typeset from the source “E. Fromont (1905)”; licence: Public Domain) and checked against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note (repeats included). The score is the same music in a different file format; we dedicate our conversion to the public domain (CC0 1.0). Mutopia Project page
