Clair de Lune

Claude Debussy · D-flat major · Easy melody study

Educational theme excerpt. Draft: human play-through and source-edition review pending.

Chord-top reduction of the first upper voice in bars 1-8, thirty-six quarter-note beats. Ties within the selection are joined, including the C5 crossing into bar 5. Easy gives each event one beat. Intermediate adds one isolated D-flat bass cue. Letter labels use sharp equivalents: G# for Ab, C# for Db, and D# for Eb.

- G#4 G#5 F5 D#5 F5 D#5 C#5
D#5 C#5 F5 C#5 C5 C#5 C5 A#4
C5 A#4 D#5 A#4 G#4 A#4 G#4 F#4
G#4 F#4 F4 F4 F#4 F4 A#4 F4
D#4 F4 D#4 C#4 D#4 C#4 C4

Letters name pitches; numbers identify octaves. A dash means rest. Easy mode uses one beat for every event.

A small practice plan

  1. Find the A-flat keys; the player labels these G-sharp.
  2. Leave a half-beat rest before the low opening chord-top pitch.
  3. Move for the A-flat octave lift instead of stretching.
  4. Count the long E-flat through its tie before the next D-flat.
  5. Use the source link to explore the voices omitted by this reading reduction.
