Book 2's General Lavine—depicting a wellknown American clown—is in a similarly comic vein. His act included juggling and tight-rope walking, and there is plenty of teetering and tumbling in Debussy's music; but there is also a touch of sentimentality for 'the Man Who Soldiered All His Life'. Bruyères ('Heather') returns to the soundscape of La Fille, reflecting pastoral nostalgia, with its simple pentatonic opening melody giving way to scalic passages in a warm A flat major.
