Debussy confidently wrote to his publisher Jacques Durand in August 1905: “I believe – without unwarranted vanity – that these three pieces will prove to be good and that they will take a prominent place in the literature of piano music … to the left of Schumann or to the right of Chopin … as you like it”. Debussy’s “Images”, already popular during Debussy’s lifetime, delight with their iridescent tone colour and dazzling harmonies “which reflect the newest discoveries in harmonic chemistry”.
