Steps into the Air (Schubert)
A Trivia Question: What is the name of this Schubert composition on which this Matsui piece is based?

Debussy

So when in reverie I look and listen,
Half dream-like floats, within my passive mind,
Why in the sun its branches gleam and glisten,
And harp-wise beat the wind;

Why, when the sea-waves, heralding their tidings,
Come roaring on the shore with crests of down,
In grave acceptance of their sad confidings,
It bows its stately crown;
    -- Tracy Robinson (1833-1915)

Claude Debussy
French Neo-Classical composer
(22 August 1862 – 25 March 1918)
