Debussy,the founder of impressionism music,revolutionary in the history of French music,in his early works embody many classical and new music style characteristics of the combination.The composer began to work on the piano suite bergamasque in 1890.After several revisions,it was published in June 1905 with a pale coffee-colored "Japanese" print on the cover and the more attractive red cinnabar initials instead of Debussy's name.The suite consists of four movements:Prelude,Minuet,Clair de lune,and Passepied.The composer combined his unique musical perspective with innovative musical vocabulary,leaving a strong impression in his exploration of his own musical style.He tried to show the old things in a new way,and his musical trend was controversial at that time.The ternary form,free tonal transformation,and abandonment of the traditional concept of harmony,especially the use of parallel chords and the combination of Oriental elements make the whole work colorful,reflecting the composer's determination to explore the new sound.While creating new ideas,the composer also borrowed from the tradition: in the program of the suite,the Prelude,Minuet and Passepied all adopted the name of the suite in the baroque period,with distinct multi-part arrangement.On this basis,the composer remade the musical image.Under the influence of many objective factors,such as the composer's life,character and creation background,this paper tries to analyze the creation thought of the Bergamasque suite,an early piano work,and explore the playing technique of the suite.Through the analysis of the existing domestic and foreign literature and video data,the author studies the performers' treatment of the details of the suite,including the touch key,connection,pedal application and hierarchy expression.This paper will also discuss the use of harmonic in Debussy's music,at present,the piano partials in the use of research was still in the stage of fuzzy,in the process of the research,due to restrictions in the field of interdisciplinary difficult,but the existence of the harmonic is objective,a composer for the subject of the pursuit of perfect voice with harmonic inevitable collision,the author visited physics experts are specially given insights,moreover by summarizing the literature,trying to explain the harmonic expression of use in awork of Debussy piano timbre of aesthetic feeling.Although there are some opinions in the academic circle that Debussy's early works cannot fully represent his musical style,the formation of each musician and musical faction cannot be accomplished overnight.One can start the study of "impressionism" from Debussy's association with music.Analyzing his works from Debussy's point of view,it is not difficult to find that his requirements for creation,acoustics and performance are extremely demanding,he does not allow others to play his works to change,in the analysis of Debussy's works to fully understand the composer's original intention.
