"... Incidentally, I am more and more convinced that, in essence, music is not something that could be poured into a strict, traditional form. It consists of colors and time expressed in rhythm... " (Claude Debussy, 1907) These words essentially summarize a whole movement- the movement of musical Impressionism. Claude Debussy is responsible for the fact that the newer French piano music of his time came to be highly regarded. After the age of Liszt, he developed in essence a newly independent style of piano music, and gave French Impressionism an exalted position in the field of music. Both of the books of Preludes by Debussy are an expression of this style. The first book was written between 1909 and 1910. The second, between 1910 and 1912. In total there are 24 compositions with which Debussy continued- if only superficially- the tradition of Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier or Chopin's 24 Preludes. Eloise Bella Kohn is a regular guest of France's most prominent concert venues and festivals such as Salle Gaveau and Lille Piano Festival. Being awarded Young Talent by the renown cultural magazine Diapason in 2016 and "Yamaha Artist" since 2018, the young French pianist shows an extraordinary depth of musicality and is leading a promising career.
