TS: 4/4; 3/4; 9/8
INST: Piano (solo)
Mood: Impressionistic, contemplative — ranges from light/playful (Menuet) to serene, nocturnal and wistful (Clair de Lune)
Structure: Three-movement suite — Prelude: through‑composed with contrasting modal middle; Menuet: Minuet & Trio (ABA, light/staccato); Clair de Lune: ternary nocturne (A–B–A, lyrical middle)
Summary:
These three pieces read like an Impressionist piano mini‑suite (Debussy‑style). The score explicitly gives keys and tempo markings: Prelude in F major, Moderato, 4/4 with contrapuntal opening and an Aeolian modal middle; Menuet in A minor, Andantino, 3/4 with a staccato, Dorian modal theme (typical minuet & trio/ABA form); Clair de Lune in D♭ major, Andante très expressif, 9/8, pianissimo, lyrical and nocturnal with a Mixolydian middle section (ternary form). Primary instrumentation is solo piano with delicate pedaling and wide dynamic control; performance practice favors rubato, soft touch, and coloristic use of harmony and modes to create the impressionistic, melancholic-to-playful moods described.
