Just found this series of presentations. I am not a Classics buff but really love Debussy and the background to his life and technical aspects of the compositions
I'm actually just in love with Deux Arabesque, I've been playing the first since the summer and the second in the fall. They are such a joy to learn and lots of people enjoy them, even those of my family/friends who don't enjoy "classical" piano. (obviously this is not classical era, but). They may just be my favorite two pieces to play and perform right now.
I love Debussy he is my favorite composer and the one who inspired me to play piano. I'm working on collines d anacapri and voiles for recital. My 5 favorites are passepied masques reflets dan keau anacapri and terrase de audiences du clair de lune but changes all the time.
Engloutie=engulfed I can never get enough Debussy you should review Professor Isao Tomita's stupendous interpretation of this genius on the album "Snowflakes Are Dancing" when I heard it aged 17 it was more mind blowing than a mind blowing thing. I still cannot believe anything is that good.
Thank you for all your work. I really appreciate your naturalness...just your sincere love of music is conveyed without hype or tricks. You're also a natural beauty.
Debussy really is a gold mine of beautiful and emotional piano music. I have a piano works CD collection by him and made a little mix CD out of it to listen to in my car. I'll list it in the order I made the playlist. Pagodes Reflets Dans L'Eau Ballade Slave Valse Romantique Rêverie La Fille Aux Cheveux De Lin Bruyères Page D'Album Pour Les Arpèges Composés Etude Retrouvée Suite Bergamasque, 1. Prélude Suite Bergamasque, 2. Clair De Lune Suite Bergamasque, 4. Passepied Arabesque #1 In E Arabesque #2 In G Nocturne There's obviously many more but these are really great pieces to get into if you are new to him.
Bitonality should refer to two separate tonalities happening at the same time(not easy). It should not and does not refer to two chords happening at the same time. Perhaps polychord could be used as a better term, but in most cases these are really just “extended” chords. Bitonality is used by some later composers such as Milhaud
Out of curiosity, do you think that you'll do a video on Ravel and any of his works? I'm mainly thinking of Jeux D'eau, although learning more about him in general would be cool too.
@@mischacarlberg6631 or miroirs, la vallee des cloches is soo good or le tombeau de couperin or sonatine or rapsodie espagnole or daphnis et chloe god ravel was so good
I think it would be cool if you did a follow up video on Claire de Lune highlighting it’s unique (to Debussy) characteristics. Ok, ok! His arabesques is hauntingly familiar to Claire de Lune. I would love to learn just the first 10-20 or so measures. It’s over my head beyond that. Just a thought.
Is Gardens it the Rain difficult? I remember saying to my teacher I wanted to learn it. She smiled a little, saying it could be an aspiring goal. I've also played his Doctor Gradus.
Oops just found this video but if you want another epic recording of the violin sonata look at the new Isabelle Faust they also explore much of the late Debussy period
I was surprised you didn't include "La Fille aux Cheveux de lin". I thought perhaps that was out of modesty, but then I thought, well maybe your hair color is strawberry blonde, so I thought, you know, I could write that song, change a couple chords or modulate in a couple places, but then I thought, I don't know the French word for strawberry. Oh well...still a good video.
I always enjoy when you feature some Debussy. My favorite performance until now are Deux Arabesques (ua-cam.com/video/JrA01669tEw/v-deo.html) and Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune - (ua-cam.com/video/EvnRC7tSX50/v-deo.html).
Thanks for the info, really appreciate your effort. However, it seems you didn't actually play any music...at all. Not to illustrate, illucidate, or even entertain. One might think when you talks about 4ths or 5ths you might have played some, for example. It seems impossible to talk about a musician without playing any of their music.
Sorry, but I have to say this. As a person learning French, it is painful to hear "Clod" Debussy. It is pronounced "Clode" Debussy. However, I am not saying that this video has lost all credibility. This is just hearing the first 10 seconds of the video.
Mum named my younger sister Claire, after Claire de Lune. She loved it.
Perfect timing! In a Debussy mood right now 😊
I live in germany and have a presenatation next week about him so i’m very grateful for this video
YES! I love Debussy 🌹😄🌹
Absolutely love this man's works and musical genius. His spirit fascinates me with the quality of blissful beauty and peace he interprets.
Doing a paper on debussy and I just wanna say thank you for making this easier for my brain
Just found this series of presentations. I am not a Classics buff but really love Debussy and the background to his life and technical aspects of the compositions
Debussy is my absolute favourite composer of all time!!! I just love learning and performing his pieces. Thank you so much for sharing this with us!!!
This video gave me some great insight on Debussy and this was perfect timing since I'm working on his first arabesque at the moment!
Gosh so beautiful! Learning about Debussy was interesting too!
Omg I do hear the Javanese influence :O what an enlightening point. Thank you

Or something about Rachmaninoff.
Great video!
Thanks for a great rundown & education! I’m on a Debussy kick right now & this really clarifies his complex journey!
Didn't talk about the Reflets dans l'eau? It's one of the most beautiful piano pieces I've ever heard.
Also I love the 2nd Estampe.
FancyBee that's one of my favorites too (Reflets dans l'eau). I also love Et la lune descend sur le temple qui fut from set 2 of images.
Absolutely love Reflets dans l'eau. Love how peaceful and tranquil it sounds, definitely super relaxing!
Definitely the best!
FancyBee and L'isle joyeuse
FancyBee that’s probably the most underrated one for me. Amazing!
I love Debussy he is my favorite composer and the one who inspired me to play piano.
I'm working on collines d anacapri and voiles for recital. My 5 favorites are passepied masques reflets dan keau anacapri and terrase de audiences du clair de lune but changes all the time.
Very nice range of pieces and well presented (his name is pronounced DebUssy btw).

He is definitely up there with my favourite composers
Please do a video about Maurice Ravel!

or le tombeau de couperin
or sonatine
or rapsodie espagnole
or daphnis et chloe
god ravel was so good
The highly influential New York pop genius Laura Nyro was very influenced by Debussy, such as her Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp (1970).
I love Danse sacrée et Danse profane.
I would love it if you , when giving an example, cozld also play this example on the piano .. e.g. when you mention his bitonality you could show
I watched this on my way to my piano lesson where I’m currently learning the 1st Arabesque!
Claude Debussy is the man with the plan
Make video about richter
Hey I just finished Jardin sous la pluie
Debussy is a magician.
Yes!!
i was wondering if Piano TV is going to have more videos on classical composers . these were done in 2017
I think it would be cool if you did a follow up video on Claire de Lune highlighting it’s unique (to Debussy) characteristics. Ok, ok! His arabesques is hauntingly familiar to Claire de Lune. I would love to learn just the first 10-20 or so measures. It’s over my head beyond that. Just a thought.
Do a Brief History of Robert Schumann and 5 favorites, please.
Another great video! Your lipstick is pretty btw
Have you done a video of Erik Satie if not you definitely should this video was amazing Debussy and Saturday my two favorite composers!
Ballade Slave is the peak of Debussy piano poetry.!!!!
It always gets ignored :(
What about reverie?
Is Gardens it the Rain difficult?
I remember saying to my teacher I wanted to learn it. She smiled a little, saying it could be an aspiring goal. I've also played his Doctor Gradus.
Oops just found this video but if you want another epic recording of the violin sonata look at the new Isabelle Faust they also explore much of the late Debussy period
Do a brief history of debussy
I'm currently learning arabesque no1. But I'm having trouble how to make the piece flow without drowning it with the pedals. Any help please?
SAME T^T
You seem to be reading the comments, I appreciate it.Now do a list of his easiest to hardest compositions.
dunno about easiest but his hardest is probably Feux D'Artifice
"please and thank you" jeez, guy.
I was surprised you didn't include "La Fille aux Cheveux de lin". I thought perhaps that was out of modesty, but then I thought, well maybe your hair color is strawberry blonde, so I thought, you know, I could write that song, change a couple chords or modulate in a couple places, but then I thought, I don't know the French word for strawberry. Oh well...still a good video.
Good. Anyone here knows some Movie about Debussy''s life? Some good one...
There isn't currently. A lot of film about Beethoven chopin Mozart but not anything on Debussy
It would have been nice to listen to music samples
Arabesques by Bach??
Yaaaaaasss
I came here to learn about debussy but I can't seem to understand early music that well
what are your favorite Debussy cd's/recordings?? wich ones do you consider a must to listen to or considere worth of purchase??
Make it 800 likes!

Who could dislike this?!?!?
You have the most beautiful eyes...
I can see the sea, sand and castles...
I always enjoy when you feature some Debussy. My favorite performance until now are Deux Arabesques (ua-cam.com/video/JrA01669tEw/v-deo.html) and Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune - (ua-cam.com/video/EvnRC7tSX50/v-deo.html).
Marcio Almada thanks :D
Like Mozart, we'll never know how much Debussy would have composed had he lived longer than his very short 56 years. Bummer....
There’s always a fucker that coughs during the quiet part of performances.
😑when theres coughing in a recording c mon people
The world of classical recordings in a nutshell.

400th view lol
Claude is pronounced Clôôde (as in "so"), not Clode (as in " clot"). It really makes a French ear cringe....
