It was later also published as a single piece, titled The Little Negro and Le petit nègre. HistoryDebussy composed The Little Nigar (giving the noun this spelling)[1] in 1909[2] on a commission from Théodore Lack, for his piano method Méthode de Piano.[3][4] The subtitle describes it as a cakewalk.[3] It is reminiscent of Golliwogg's Cakewalk from his Children's Corner, a piano suite that he had composed a year earlier. In both pieces, rhythmic outer sections frame a melodic middle section. In Golliwogg's Cakewalk, the middle section satirically quotes the beginning of Tristan und Isolde by Wagner, a composer who had influenced Debussy when he was young, but from whose late romantic style Debussy later distanced himself.[6] Debussy regularly sought exotic influences. In The Little Nigar, he alluded to banjo chords and drums, influenced by American minstrel shows.[4] The piece, marked allegro, begins with a first theme presenting "jazzy" syncopes in 2/4 time, in the then popular ragtime style.[9] It is followed by a lyrical passage, marked espressivo and pianissimo (very softly), which leads to a return of the first section. The first theme leans towards pentatonic, and is accompanied by a chromatic sequence of broken minor thirds.[10] The Little Nigar was first published in 1909 by Éditions Alphonse Leduc in Paris, as part of Lack's piano method, and again as a single piece in about 1934, now with an added repetition and titled The Little Negro, with subtitle Le petit nègre.[3][2]Debussy also used the main theme in his 1913 ballet for children La boîte à joujoux, where it characterises an English soldier.[6] Numerous transcriptions in various instrumentations were made of the piece. An arrangement for woodwinds was used{{when|date=August 2018}} for advertising the dog food Purina One.[15] Literature
