Claude Debussy’s “Passepied” (a type of dance which originated in Brittany) constitutes the final movement of his famous piano suite “Suite bergamasque.” In F sharp minor and marked “allegretto ma non troppo,” it is a happy, strangely medieval, piece, which is surprisingly faster than its Baroque counterparts. Throughout most of its duration, the piece is played with staccato arpeggios in the left hand.
