"Clair de lune" is one of Claude Debussy's most famous piano compositions. Its poetic nature and relatively modest technical requirements soon made it one of the most popular. Withdrawn from the original context, the individual pieces were the most widely played by Debussy, which is why Urtext released this edition as a single piece.

The music of Claude Debussy is often associated with other arts, especially paintings of Impressionist landscapes. "Clair d e lune," the third movement of Debussy's four-movement "Bergamesque Suite" is a reflection of Paul Verlaine's poem of the same name, which depicts the emotional landscape of a distant Arcadia, linking reminiscences of the ancient aristocratic activities of the past to modern tonal explorations of the late 19th century.
Although it is conventional with regard to harmony, there are tonal and melodic details that already anticipate Debussy's later piano style. The suite was only published in 1905, although Debussy had added the date of composition "1890" to the evidence which was an earlier work. The fact that he agrees with the publication shows that he still identified with this piece of a period whose style he had long since left behind.
