"Clair de Lune" - Start you right at the beginning

Chapter 12 - Cassandra falls in love with Simon while listening to Claude Debussy.

From page 217:
"Simon walked along with the candle, looking for the Debussy albums.

"I suppose we ought to start you right at the beginning," he said, "but I don't believe we have anything from "The Children's Corner." I'll try "Clair de Lune" on you - and I bet you'll find you know it."

He was right - as soon as it began I remembered; a girl once played it at a school concert. It is beautiful - and the gramophone was amazing ..."

Do you recognize it? It is used in a lot of movie scores.
