Claude Debussy · C♯ minor · 66 bars · 78 chords analysed

A song (in German, a Lied) sets a poem for voice and piano. The piano is a full partner: it paints the scene, the weather and the singer's mood. This score comes from the OpenScore Lieder Corpus, a free collection of 19th-century songs that includes many women composers.

Keys visited: C♯ minor, G minor, E♭ major, A♭ minor, G♯ minor, C major, C♯ major.
