Sails

I have not shared on here for a couple of weeks, so here is an interesting rendition of Debussy's Prelude, Voiles, transcribed for violin and piano and performed by Grigory Feygin:

Debussy's use of whole tone and pentatonic scales gives this piece a unique and evocative sense of space. Voiles is French for "sails." The original piano work is number two from Debussy's first book of Preludes, 1909–1910.
