Dear Fans of Claude Debussy,

Here’s a brand new sheet music selection from Piano With Kent.  This one is arranged for early intermediate piano: Clair de Lune by Debussy. The arrangement is in the key of C, for ease of reading, plus it has been simplified (easier to play).

Today’s version of Clair de Lune has every note labeled with its letter-name, such as E, D#, Ab…

Some markings (dynamics, etc.) have been omitted, so as to leave extra room for the note letters.

Please note, this version is abridged and simplified.

These letter-note labeled sheets are primarily for adults who are not taking piano lessons — especially those who have past experience reading music, but who might have forgotten the details.

Here’s a list of currently available selections with lettered notes. This list is growing fast, so you might bookmark this page, and check back often.

About Clair de Lune and Claude Debussy

Clair de Lune is the third movement of Claude Debussy’s Suite Bergamasque, in D♭ major. Its name comes from Verlaine‘s poem “Clair de lune“, which means “moonlight” in French.

Claude Debussy is probably the best known composer of the Impressionist school, a handful of pioneers who were mostly active in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries. Maurice Ravel, who wrote the popular orchestral piece called Boléro (along with tons of ground-breaking serious works), is also a famous Impressionist.
