Debussy intentionally did not place titles at the top of his Préludes for piano (HN 383), published in 1910, but merely wrote them at the end and in parentheses ╩ almost as a belated comment on the piece just played. Nevertheless, no. 8 in thecollection, ''La Fille aux cheveux de lin'' (The girl with the flaxen hair), has become famous in its own right. This image perfectly fits the dreamy graceful music. And ever since, the prelude has been the object of numerous arrangements for otherscorings.
