"Romance, L. 79/1" is a solo piano piece composed by Claude Debussy in 1890. It was premiered in the same year by the composer himself. The piece is part of a set of three Romances, which also includes "Romance, L. 79/2" and "Romance, L. 79/3." The piece is characterized by its lyrical and expressive melody, which is accompanied by a delicate and intricate piano accompaniment. The piece is in the key of F-sharp major and is written in a ternary form, with a slow and expressive opening section followed by a faster and more virtuosic middle section, before returning to the opening material. The opening section of the piece is marked "Très doux et expressif" (very sweet and expressive) and features a flowing and lyrical melody in the right hand, accompanied by a gentle and delicate arpeggiated accompaniment in the left hand. The middle section of the piece is marked "Plus animé" (more animated) and features a faster and more virtuosic melody, with a more complex and intricate accompaniment in the left hand. Overall, "Romance, L. 79/1" is a beautiful and expressive piece of music that showcases Debussy's mastery of melody and harmony. Its delicate and intricate piano accompaniment, combined with its lyrical and expressive melody, make it a popular choice for pianists and audiences alike.
