Impressionist piano works are among the greatest in the repertoire - gain foundational insights with this guide, from history and cultural context to interpretation and performance.

Renowned pianist Paul Roberts seeks to answer the question "What is Impressionism in relation to piano music?" In highly accessible prose, he illuminates several connected topics to understand this beloved repertoire so that pianists can create the most vivid performances. An Impressionist technique of pianism, not unconnected to past traditions, serves a colorful, imaginative world that is wholly contemporary and wholly French - a period when music and painting were endlessly discussed.

How do we relate to this imaginative world, and what is required of us, technically and artistically? How does the pianist, whether amateur, student, or young professional, prepare an Impressionist piece or program?

Beginning with an overview of the period and an exploration of how the celebrated label became attached to the music of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, this guide immerses us in their beloved piano masterpieces and explores the art of performance.
