LES COLLINES D'ANACAPRI
The Hills of Anacapri is the fifth prelude of Debussy’s first book of preludes.
It was inspired by the town of Anacapri on the island of Capri, off the coast of Italy, which the composer frequently visited.
The prelude is a lively scherzo-like piece, mingled with elements of the tarantella, and interspersed with moments of sublime awe. In the brilliant key of B major, it opens with the clear ringing of isolated tones, like a stunning view on a clear sunlit day, which alternate with lively quasi-tarantella passages.
