Claude Debussy's Préludes are two sets of pieces for solo piano. They are divided into two separate livres, or books, of twelve preludes each. Unlike previous collections of preludes, like those of Chopin, Debussy's do not follow a strict set pattern of key signatures, but instead allude to possible keys throughout the preludes. The first book was written between December 1909 and February 1910, and the second between late 1912 and early April 1913. Dror Biran
