‘Mostly Debussy’ is a series of piano lecture-recitals that leads up to year 2018, which will mark the 100th anniversary of Claude Debussy’s death. This first presentation is inspired by the first volume of Debussy’s Douze Etudes, which is bookended with the opening Pour les cinq doigts (For Five Fingers after Mr. Czerny), and the concluding Pour les huit doigts (For Eight Fingers).
