Description

Marse's solo debut album features a collection of piano works by the quintessential French composer Claude Debussy. This collection of Debussy pieces was assembled in celebration of his 150th birthday. Marse reflects... "compiling, preparing, and performing this collection has inspired and perpetuated a process of reflection - both personally and musically. Within this album’s relatively accessible repertoire are a multitude of musical colors and pianistic techniques often labeled as impressionist, and at times neo-classicist. It was in the fourth grade upon detailed study of the second Arabesque with my teacher Betty Mallard that Debussy’s world was first fully revealed. Many of the pieces on this disc are found in that first Debussy book I received from her for Christmas that year. Little did I know this score would travel around the world- accompanying me through graduate school recitals, master classes, my own university studio. It still remains as a permanent fixture within my repertoire".
