Publisher Desc.
Children's Corner, L. 113, is a six-movement suite for solo piano by
Claude Debussy. It was published by Durand in 1908, and was first performed
by Harold Bauer in Paris on 18 December that year. In 1911, an orchestration
by Andre Caplet was premiered and subsequently published.
This is an arrangement of the 5th piece.- The Little Shepherd (Le petite
berger)
It depicts a shepherd with his
flute. There are three solos and three commentaries following them. The first
solo has a breath mark at the end. This piece has different modes in it and
uses dissonances which resolve into tonality.
Arranged for clarinet trio ( Using a
bass clarinet for clarinet 3 would deepen the overall sound)
Transposed from original key A into
Bb so clarinets are in C ( same as original orchestration)
