Cakewalk 'Le Petit Negre' Claude Debussy
|
A work by Debussy which was composed for children - 'the little negro'
of the title (which is often no longer permitted to be used because of
the racist connotations) is a direct connotation of the Golliwog's Cakewalk
from Children's Corner, similar in that it has clear influences from ragtime
jazz music and also because the motions of the performer are so important
within the work's realisation. Anyone that hears this can't say that Debussy
didn't have a sense of humour.
Keyconcepts: Piano Music, Impressionism, Debussy, Recital, Silent Film, Romanticism, Fin-de-siècle, Short Film.
