Hi, which pieces would you recommend learning before tackling La soirée dans Grenade?
For example, pieces that are a level or two below La soirée, and that share some of the same atmospheric aspects (rhythm, mood, etc.).

I really like the map image in the "Starting Soon" page. :D This was a very fascinating topic, and I learned so much. What FUN! :D I loved hearing Debussy play the piano! The "Toscanini incident" is unbelievable. It was very interesting to hear the actual recording! Ravel must have been appalled. It is his piece after all! It is always neat to see the photos of the people that you are discussing, too. Thank you, Dominic! Thank you everyone who asked questions!
