This paper presents short analytical vignettes of three solo piano works by Mel Bonis (1858-1937), each of which makes clear allusion to works by other composers. Two of her middle-career works reference well-known pieces by Debussy, but the third allusion was composed much earlier and has not been discussed elsewhere: Bonis's Prelude (Op. 10, 1889), a short composition which clearly references Chopin's Prelude in B minor (Op. 28, No. 6, 1839). All three pairs feature a related motivic "hook," but both the type and "amount" of allusion vary from one work to the next, providing an interesting case study of compositional voice and development of style. Examination of all three pairs of pieces will shed light on Bonis's unique compositional voice and the development of her style across her early and middle career.
