In Debussy's works, in addition to the piano piece Moonlight, there are two songs entitled Moonlight, which are adapted from the poems of the poet Paul Wellein. It can be seen that Debussy loves the theme of "moonlight". After listening to Debussy's piano piece Moonlight, Italian music critic Gatti commented: "How light the arpeggios are! It's like a fountain rising, and then, it's calm in the alternation of tonic and dominant. The theme is developed under this background. It is broad, bright and expressive. "
