Suite Bergamasque, L. 75:III. Clair de lune-Xavier de Maistre/Claude Debussy

The bergamask, reputedly a clumsy dance performed originally by natives of Bergamo, becomes the beautiful 'bergamasque' in French.

It was within the poem 'Clair de Lune' by Paul Verlaine, that the composer found the seeds of the work’s title. Verlaine writes of 'your souls ... like landscapes, charming masks and bergamasks, playing the lute and dancing, almost sad in their fantastic disguises'.

听惯钢琴的，居然觉得竖琴也很好听啊，各有各的美感。钢琴有流泻的月光的感觉，竖琴更有大珠小珠落玉盘的颗粒感，当然流泻得有点铮铮然咳咳……同样都很有古典的韵味。
