This item will ship directly from our Australia warehouse! Piano SKU: HU.HN405 Composed by Claude Debussy. Edited by Ernst-Gunter Heinemann. Piano Solo, Piano & Keyboard, Repertoire, Solos. The Little Negro. Classical, Romantic. Softcover Book. 4 pages. G. Henle #HN405. Published by G. Henle (HU.HN405). 12.2 x 9.3 inches.Debussy occasionally reacted to musical trends in his compositions, as was the case with American ragtime. Aside from Golliwoggs Cakewalk, in Childrens Corner (HN 382), The little Negro is even today a standard piece in modern crossover orientated piano teaching. Debussy did actually compose the piece for a piano method, namely that of Theodore Lack, published in 1909. In 1934 the publishing house Leduc produced a single version, in which measures 22 to 54 are repeated, unlike in the first edition. The piece is not particularly difficult and is very effective.
