Synopsis

Composed between 1906 and 1908, the Children's Corner Suite was written to capture the essence of childhood with charm, grace and humor. Debussy's intention was to create moods and sensations and, utilizing his typical harmonic richness, he succeeds in an appealing and joyous fashion. This edition is based on not only the original autograph manuscripts but also on Debussy's sound recording of these pieces.

From the Publisher

This is the well-known and much loved orchestra transcription prepared by Debussy's good friend Andre Caplet (1878-1925). It has been recorded and performed numerous times since its debut in 1911. If you encounter an orchestral recording or performance of "Children's Corner," it is almost certainly the Caplet orchestration.
