[First Piece] Pagodes

At the 1889 Exposition Universelle in Paris, Debussy heard Gamelan music performed by Balinese people and became deeply interested. This piece is said to reflect that influence.

An Oriental-style theme, utilizing a pentatonic scale, undergoes variations and repetitions, creating a unique atmosphere.
