Claude Debussy's composition, Clair de Lune, is the third section of a four-part piece entitled, Suite Bergamasque. It is an amazingly beautiful piece of musical art. One of the elements of music that is so powerful in this piece is silence. Debussy once said, "Music is the space in between the notes. The first part of Clair de Lune has moments of silence that captivate the listener. We are drawn in and anxiously awaiting the next note. He uses this space so brilliantly.
Another element is the rhythm. Debussy has deliberate changes in rhythm. He uses both slow and fast rhythms in a way that is purposeful and not unorganized. There is not a distinctive rhythm at the beginning, but then it builds and descends again.
