Structure
The Suite bergamasque consists of four movements:
- "Prélude"
- "Menuet"
- "Clair de lune"
- "Passepied"
The suite has been orchestrated by many composers, including André Caplet, Leopold Stokowski and Lucien Cailliet. Dimitri Tiomkin arranged "Clair de Lune" for organ for his musical score for Warner Brothers' 1956 film Giant.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Each structure and institution here was so primitive that you could at once refer it to its source; but our buildings commonly suggest neither their origin nor their purpose.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The syntactic component of a grammar must specify, for each sentence, a deep structure that determines its semantic interpretation and a surface structure that determines its phonetic interpretation.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
