Claude Debussy

An illustrated biography focussing on the childhood of the great composer and pianist as well as how he came to become a great composer. The accompanying CD contains extracts of some of his most famous works as well as the narration of the story.

As a boy, Debussy wanted to be a sailor. At music college in Paris he used to shock his teachers with the sounds he made on the piano. Children who want to know how to make a glass sing or hear the sound of the sea in a teacup will learn much from Debussy.
