Debussy, Claude

Deux Arabesques (around 1890)

Danse bohémienne (1880)

 

for 2 violins, viola and violoncello

After the original piano version arranged for string quartet by Claus-D. Ludwig

Claude Debussy (1862-1918) composed the Deux Arabesques for piano around the year 1890. They can be counted among his best-known and most popular works and have become indispensable for piano students. Numerous arrangements of these Arabesques have already been compiled for a variety of instrumental ensembles and orchestra scorings.

The piano piece Danse bohémienne dating from 1880 is Debussy’s very first published work, but never achieved a similar level of recognition as the two Arabesques.

Both Arabesque I and Danse bohémienne have been transposed for the current arrangement from string quartet for technical reasons.
