"The Girl with the Flaxen Hair", ("La fille aux cheveux de lin") is no. 8 in the first book of Preludes by Debussy from 1910. For this piece, Debussy writes in a style closer to his early works: diatonic and melodic with nice, lush chords rolling over the piano. There are clear cadences, but this short piece is ripe with quick modulations between three different keys. Pianist Henrik Kilhamn goes to the bottom of where the piece is harmonically in this thorough analysis tutorial.
