They include a piece interpolating a Neapolitan folksong, while another bases its rhythm on a Habanera in order to invoke a historic gate at the Alhambra. Still another uses a fragmented melody to depict a stark glacial landscape. That piece, the sixth of them, is marked "slow and sad." Another one quotes "God Save the Queen" and is dedicated to Samuel Pickwick.Collected in two books, they were composed between 1909 and 1913 and include works with such titles as "The Hills of Anacapri," "The Sunken Cathedral," and "Girl with the Flaxen Hair." Markedly shorter than this composer's previous works, like Three Nocturnes, their name derives from a type of music that would often begin a church service or introduce another work, like a fugue. For 10 points, identify this set of 24 pieces for piano, by Claude Debussy.
