It consists of short, lyrical pieces meant to evoke emotions and tell stories purely through melody, without the need for sung lyrics. These pieces highlight the expressive power of instrumental music, allowing listeners to imagine their own narratives. Debussy's work emphasizes mood, color, and subtlety, creating an intimate, poetic experience that communicates deep feelings without words.
