Feux
d’artifice
was
published in Book II Number 12 from preludes by Claude Debussy. The composer,
who lived from 1862 to 1918, wrote two sets of solo piano pieces, divided into
two separate livres, or books, of twelve preludes each. Unlike previous prelude
collections we have seen from the likes of Chopin and J.S. Bach, Debussy chose
not to follow a strict pattern of key signatures. Each of Debussy’s books was
written at an outstandingly fast pace, completed in just a few months. Book one
was started in December 1909 and completed by February of the following year,
while book two began in early 1912 and finished in the April of 1913.
Not
only is Feux d’artifice a timeless classic by one of the most talented and
famous composers of all time, but Anastasia has been able to haul it into the
modern world with her own unique style. With that combination of Debussy composition and Huppmann
genius, Feux d’artifice seemed the natural place to start Anastasia’s
NFT collection.
