Claude Debussy was a composer who Lamote de Grignon held in very high esteem, and Horai (Japanese ballad) comes close to the great French composer’s harmonic language. It is not known when this work was written, but the composer makes use of the orientalism that was so often employed by Debussy in some of his Estampes and Images for piano. Horai (Japanese ballad) is also a tribute to Chopin and his four brilliant Baladas (Ballades), which were at the pinnacle of romantic piano music. This can be seen in the use of 6/8 time (as in Chopin’s four gems), certain formal analogies (such as the initial quiet section, compared to the more frantic central section, although, unlike Chopin’s ballades, Lamote de Grignon’s piece has no brilliant virtuoso coda), and the music is markedly narrative in nature, despite the lack (as in Chopin) of an extra-musical programme.
