Nocturnes for Orchestra in Full Score (Dover Miniature Scores)

Described by the composer as a "study in gray painting," this three-movement work exemplifies the aural impressionism that has become synonymous with Debussy's name. Shaded by his unique orchestral palette, Debussy brings to life three scenes: the summer love of Nuages , the celebration of Fétes , and the seduction of the Sirèns .
