#Debussy - Footsteps in the #Snow
Played and recorded by August Linnman.
Throughout the rest of his life, Debussy had to struggle with illness and poverty, but he worked tirelessly and very fruitfully. Since 1901, he began to appear in the periodical press with witty reviews of the events of the current musical life (after the death of Debussy, they were collected in the collection Monsieur Croche - antidilettante) (published in 1921). During the same period, most of his piano works appear.
Two series of Images (1905-1907) were followed by the suite “Children’s Corner“ (1906-1908), dedicated to the composer’s daughter Shusha.
Debussy made several concert tours to provide for his family. He conducted his compositions in England, Italy, Russia and other countries. Two notebooks of piano preludes (1910-1913) demonstrate the evolution of a kind of sound-pictorial writing, characteristic of the composer’s piano style. In 1911, he wrote music for Gabriele d’Annunzio’s mystery The Martyrdom of St. Sebastian, the score was made by the French composer and conductor A. Caplet. In 1912 the orchestral cycle Obrazy appeared. Debussy had long been attracted to ballet, and in 1913 he composed the music for the ballet Game, which was performed by Sergei Pavlovich Diaghilev’s Russian Seasons troupe in Paris and London. In the same year, the composer began work on the children’s ballet “Toy Box“ - its instrumentation was completed by Caplet after the death of the author. This stormy creative activity was temporarily suspended by the First World War, but already in 1915 numerous piano works appeared, including Twelve Etudes dedicated to the memory of Chopin. Debussy began a series of chamber sonatas, to a certain extent based on the style of French instrumental music of the 17th-18th centuries. He managed to complete three sonatas from this cycle: for cello and #piano (1915), for flute, viola and harp (1915), for violin and piano (1917). Debussy received an order from Giulio Gatti-Casazza of the Metropolitan Opera for an opera based on Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher, on which he began work as a young man. He still had the strength to remake the opera libretto.
The composer was a rather modest person, he was not attracted by fame and popular love. He did not even always attend the premieres of his operas, preferring to remain in the background. And he explained his incredible talent simply as a gift from the Almighty: “If God did not love my music, I would not write it.“
