Behind the Baton Dissonance of "Afternoon of A Faun"

Behind the Baton is a new on air feature on CPR Classical hosted by Scott O'Neil. Every week O'Neil picks a classical music piece and breaks down the themes within it.
Scott walks through the intro of Claud Debussy's prelude to the "Afternoon of a Faun", a dreamy and romantic piece that could've sounded a bit darker if not for dissonance.
Tune in to CPR Classical every day for Behind the Baton with Scott O’Neil.
