“A propos de Mélisande.....” Golaud Debussy wrote that “après tout, Bach has said all there is to say in music. The rest of us only say it in different forms.” With this assertion in mind, these nine little preludes and fugues pose the stylistic question of spanning the performances styles and practices of Bach and Debussy, drawing source material from small gestures found in the score to Debussy's Pelleas et Mélisande. As such, pedal choices, sostenuto blurring of colors, phrases and tonalities are suggested to the performer which might bridge and meld the colors of Bach’s formalities and Debussy’s gestural intentions. With this, I respectfully ask that the performer’s interpretive skills and depths be applied to theses pieces as he or she sees fit and finds best illustrate Debussy’s above cited quote.
