The Sonata was progressive due to none of its movements actually being in Sonata form\, and because the first and third movements contain strong premonitions of his visionary late style. Also\, the inclusion of a funeral march in a sonata was unprecedented\, this particular sonata later proving to be a strong inspiration to Chopin\, who famously composed his own funeral march Sonata.  The Debussy Preludes Book 1 are 12 short pieces\, whose titles were published at the end of each\, in an attempt to avoid inhibiting the imagination of the performer. What sets them apart is that they are essentially free-form soundscapes\, often devoid of melodies. They are based on differing characters\, visions or places and are remarkable in their use of sound as colour and light.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[AIGetTwitterFeeds ai_username='PianoWeekFest' ai_numberoftweets='3' ai_tweet_title='Your Title']
