Preluden – 8. Das Mädchen mit dem Flachshaar

This musical piece for solo piano was created by French composer Claude Debussy and written between 1909 and 1910. The title is initially from the poem by Leconte de Lisle : "La fille aux cheveux de lin". In fine art, the image of a girl with flaxen-coloured hair has been used as a symbol of innocence and naivety.
