Changes on this page are not saved.About the pieceClair de lune (“moonlight”) is the third movement of Claude Debussy's Suite bergamasque, L. 75. Debussy began the suite around 1890 and published it in 1905. It is in D♭ major and 9/8 time, marked Andante très expressif, and opens pianissimo with the soft pedal (con sordina).Fingering notes

The opening right-hand thirds — F–A♭, then D♭–F and C–E♭ — use 3-5, 2-4 and 1-3, so each third steps down one pair of fingers.

The left hand joins with thirds in the same register, using 3-1 and 4-2.

In the falling line that follows, the thumb arrives on G♭ (…3-2-1), so the line can keep going down without a jump.

Wide left-hand chords such as D♭–G♭–B♭–D♭ use 5-3-2-1.
