André Watts plays Debussy: Children's Corner (Live)

André Watts (1946 – 2023) was an American classical pianist. Born in West Germany to an Hungarian mother and an American father, he performed with many of the world's finest orchestras. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Watts

"Children's Corner" – published in 1908

00:00 – 1. Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum
02:02 – 2. Jimbo's Lullaby
05:24 – 3. Serenade for the Doll
07:44 – 4. The Snow Is Dancing
09:48 – 5. The Little Shepherd
12:21 – 6.

I have chosen to omit the title of the last piece because of its offensive, racist connotation – of which, to be fair, in 1908, Debussy would probably have been unaware.
