Debussy - Voiles
Voiles is a composition by Claude Debussy for solo piano from 1909. It is the 2nd piece in a set of twelve preludes published in 1910. The title of the piece may mean either veils or sails; both connotations were intended by the composer. Except for some mild localized chromaticism and a short pentatonic passage, the entire piece uses the whole tone scale.
Note that this is not easy music, but then going beyond the veil is not easy.
