Claude Debussy’s Quartet, at its first performance, aroused a scandal that today would seem almost unexpected. Yet, the innovative language and the already well-defined and openly polemical artistic personality shocked the most conservative French circles. Today, Debussy’s Quartet is loved by audiences and musicians precisely for its soft outlines, wavering harmonies, the curious pizzicato of the Scherzo and the poignant melancholy of the Andantino.
