What Level is Clair de Lune for?

Clair de Lune is written for intermediate students at about a Grade 5-6 level.

Clair de Lune – the third movement of Suite bergamasque – was composed by Claude Debussy in 1905. This approachable arrangement of one of the world’s most beloved piano works is written for intermediate solo piano (Levels 5–6).

Ideal for pianists who love Romantic and Impressionistic music but aren’t ready for the original version, this edition features simplified key and metre, clear notation, and a thoughtfully abridged length to make learning more manageable—while preserving the beauty and expressiveness of Debussy’s masterpiece.

Part of the Attainable Classics Series, this arrangement helps players experience iconic piano repertoire in a more accessible way. If you’ve dreamed of playing Clair de Lune but thought it was beyond your reach, this edition is the perfect place to begin.
