I'm glad you enjoyed it. Your insight into the connection between Debussy and Duke Ellington is fascinating. It's well-known that the Japanese contemporary composer Toru Takemitsu once mentioned Duke Ellington as a musician he would have liked to study under in his younger days.

I look forward to sharing more music with you in the future.

Sincerely,

"Reflets dans l'eau" by Debussy, from "Images" Book I (1905), uses innovative piano techniques to depict water's reflections and movements, blending impressionistic harmonies and rhythms to evoke the serene and dynamic nature of water.

Beautiful music, and your description is perfect, and the name is perfect, and Images is perfect for the collection - Debussy is literally painting with music. His music is magic. Good examle of impressionism. Sounds a bit like improvising and he wanted people to think like that. The father of modern composition…

I read somewhere that this is obviously a great influence later on Duke Ellington, as his number, Reflections in D, shows a great reminiscence of Claude Debussy's chord. I listened to that one too.

Thank you so much HAL for sharing this, have not heard it before.

Best wishes,

Stig
