Suite Bergamasque is one of the most famous piano suites by Debussy composed in 1890. Most known for Clair de Lune, the Prelude to the collection is a stunning rubato movement in F with an exciting exclamatory beginning and ending. It is a great recital item, with plenty of space for the accompanist to perform and some beautiful lines that pass between the instruments.
