Claude Debussy's is a solo piano piece written in 1894. However, for unknown reasons, the entire piece was not published until 1977, despite clear evidence that Debussy intended to publish it during his lifetime. Interestingly, the second movement of the three pieces comprised in the work was published independently in February 1896 through the Parisian periodical Le Grand Journal. Partly because the work was recently published, it remains relatively more unknown to pianists and music lovers than other piano solo pieces by Debussy. Thus, this article addresses in detail the compositional background of this work, focusing on why the work was not published during Debussy's lifetime. Furthermore, by analyzing this piece in detail, this article intends to discuss the stylistic characteristics of the work regarding its melody, phrase structure, harmony, and form. This survey, which would help understand the musical style embodied in this piece, aims to contribute to improving the awareness of the work.

Lemierre syndrome is a rare disease involving multiple organs affected by septic emboli following oropharyngeal infection. After the introduction of penicillin in the 1940s, it became a "forgotten" disease. However, due to the development of diagnostic image modalities including neck computed tomography (CT) scan, the number of published reports of Lemierre syndrome and diagnosis has been increasing since the 1990s. In this report, we describe a case of Lemierre syndrome, following oropharyngeal infection in a 16-year-old patient, who manifested with persistent fever and neck stiffness. Neck ultrasonography confirmed thrombus formation in the right internal jugular vein without definite evidence of septic emboli to other organs. After the three-week-long antibiotics therapy was completed, the thrombus in the right internal jugular vein finally disappeared.
