The Girl With the Flaxen Hair, Preludes pour le piano, No. 8

Sheet music for The Girl With the Flaxen Hair, the eighth piece in the first book of Préludes pour le piano, No. 8 by Claude Debussy. One of his most lyrical and famous compositions, it is noticeably lacking in the more progressive harmonies that characterize the other preludes in the album. The nostalgic simplicity of the piece has made it a favorite among Impressionist fans. As with his other piano preludes, the title appears at the end of the piece so as to not influence the expectations of either the player or the audience. 3 pages
