Description
This piece is an unused movement, probably a first draft of La Passion, the third of the ‘Fragments
symphoniques’ in Le Martyre de Saint Sébastien (1911). Nicolas Horvath’s 2020 Grand Piano recorindg of this anguished but beautiful piece, and knowing how pushed for time Debussy was when he composed Le Martyre it is surprising that he progressed so far with a piece that he subsequently replaced.
