Voiles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voiles, a composition for solo piano, is the 2nd piece of Claude Debussy's first book of preludes. The title of the piece may mean either veils or sails; both connotations were intended by Debussy. Except for some mild localized chromaticism and a short pentatonic passage, the entire piece uses the whole tone scale.[4]
