A study of Debussy¡¦s Piano Work¡§Prelude¡¨Book ¢¹¡Gfrom historical viewpoints to research into performance interpretation

Debussy composed a piano work Préludes Book I in 1909. By Symbolism and Impressionism in French, Debussy was induced to write twelve pieces in Préludes Book I. His composes not only reveal variety but also involve the actuality, tales, antique and modern cultures in his creations. The thesis first investigates the relation in Debussy, Symbolism, and Impressionism. The second work is description of the composed background of Préludes Book I. Finally, we discuss the performance interpretation in Debussy Préludes Book I according to the statements of historians with Léon Vallas, Paul Roberts, E. Robert Schmitz, R. Myers, and pianists Marguertite Long, Alfred Cortot and Debussy¡¦s friends Lousia Liebich, Robert Godet. In this thesis, the historical viewpoints would be adopted to research the performance of expression for Préludes Book I. And, we expect each player who is able to explicitly understand the expression of this piece when he or she possesses an excellent skill in the future.
