Pour le piano (For the piano), L.95, is a suite for solo piano by Claude Debussy. The composition was finished and issued in 1901.[1] Its premiere took place on 11 January 1902 in the Salle Érard for the Société Nationale de Musique, with Ricardo Viñes as the pianist.[1]
It consists of three parts:
- Prélude
- Sarabande
- Toccata
The prélude was dedicated to Debussy's student Mlle Worms de Romilly, who notes that the movement "tellingly evokes the gongs and music of Java".[1]
The sarabande which dates from the winter of 1894 originally belonged to the series of Images oubliées, underlined by the fact that both works were dedicated to Yvonne Lerolle.[1] This movement was later orchestrated by Maurice Ravel.[1]
The toccata was dedicated to Nicolas Coronio, another student of Debussy.[1]
