    Clair de Lune, one of Debussy's finest works, a journey of emotion and intensity. This has been a favorite of mine for a long time now, and I'm glad I could perform it for you! Thank you for enjoying my videos so far, there are many more to come :D

    I was lucky enough to be born into a house with music.
    My dad loves to play piano, and he wasn’t the most talkative person, but when he started to play piano, you could feel him speaking to you.
    When I was 2 years old, he would sit me on his lap and play this song. When I was 14 years old, he was diagnosed with cancer, and they told him he wouldn’t live to the end of the year (it was August)
    He lived for two more years, defying everything the doctors had told him.
    He died surrounded by his family, and his last words to me were, “never stop playing, can you please, play for me? And not forget me? Can you do that for me?”
    At his funeral, I was asked if I would play a song, and I chose to play this song, the song he played while I would sit on his lap. The song that could bring back a thousand memories.
    And now, 8 years later, I sat down at the piano with my beautiful 2 year old girl, who we decided to name Claire, and played this song for her.

    Funny thing is that "Clair de Lune" means "moonlight" and so I guess Beethoven and Debussy both had very different views on what moonlight should sound like.

      Except Beethoven never actually called it Moonlight Sonata himself. Sonata quasi una Fantasia was the official title and it was Ludwig Rellstab, a german journalist and music critic who coined that title. A popular (yet unconfirmed) theory is that Beethoven himself was probably rather thinking about going through varies stages of grief when writing that as it was in a way, a love letter to a woman that spurned him. As such you have to see the three movements differently. Depression, Denial, Anger... That's how I would see the three movements of the sonata personally but as always, it's a matter of interpretation. But it's safe to say that Beethoven most likely did not think of the moon when writing his piece.

    my mother just passed a few days ago. She was a classical pianist. As she aged, she wasn't able to play complex songs. I remember as a child laying on the floor for HOURS, listening to her play Debussy, Lizst, Beethoven, and more. No matter how bad things got as a teenager, I was always pulled back to her by her music. It would pour through my soul. And it does once again. It always will. Thank you, mom.

    I have played piano for 18 years.
    My Dad loved this song.
    I played this for him frequently.
    He said if I memorized this piece he would give me $100. I had a concert and featured this piece and after the concert my dad gave me the $100.
    A few years ago he passed away and I played Clair de Lune at his funeral.
    I know he heard me when I played this at his funeral.
    He can hear me playing the piano still.
    RIP Dad.

    .When I was little my aunt always told me to play the piano for her but I was very shy so I went and hid.. Now I regret not having played piano for her. every time she asked me. It's been several months since she left this world and I only remember the promise she made me promise. She asked me to play "Claire de Lune" for her when I was more experienced and now I just listen to this piece and cry in front of this sweet melody. Even watching Your Lie in April I remember my aunt.
    My aunt is my reason for playing the piano and I gave my all for her.

    This song has been my grandmas favorite, she loved to play it for me when I was young, and when I got older I learned to play this for her and she sat on her bed in delight. When I turned 11 my grandma was diagnosed with bone cancer. She sat at the hospital in pain, she listened to me playing the song on my phone. While everyone was sitting in the room, she felt that she was going to pass away, and her last words were, thank you for caring for me, I love you. I am now thirty five with my 5 year old daughter named Luna. Thank you grandma, I miss you.

And if I feel it, I feel suffocated by it. But at the same time I want affection. This song gave me affection without suffocating me. I will definitely learn to play this, when I restart playing piano.

    Wow, I'm not really sure why, but listening to this piece while reading the comments made me cry for the first time in over a year.
    I've been having a really stressful and depressing week, and today I've been painfully reminded of how lonely I am, and how it probably won't change. And reading all these wonderful comments about their bittersweet experiences. That, in essence, is what this piece means to me. About how life is beautiful and hideous at the same time. About how your existence does not matter yet means everything. Our problems mean so little but are so important. Despite all this, life will go on, things will keep living, and we will experience the best times and the worst times.
    All of this is to say, no matter how depressed or suic*dal you might be, things will get better. Your most terrific experiences are ahead of you, keep going.
    If anyone sees this, feel free to trauma dump in the replies. Maybe one day I'll even reply in there.

Listening to this while reminiscing on past memories of the past 5 years while listening to this got my ugly crying 😂, I’m so glad

    I found this music from a lesson at school and solely listened to it for how beautiful it is.
    Once, I listened to it again after a long break from it. During that time, things were going haywire at a city next to ours because of a missing girl--who happened to be an old friend and former classmate.
    Next thing I knew, she was found dead.
    While I was listening to this.
    It gave me a kind of chills that I've never felt before. The kindhearted little girl I used to walk home with is gone. It's not like I hang around her all the time, but she was a sweet memory to me.
    The recurring memory I have of you is you smiling warmly at me. We all miss you, Louella.

    My dad loved this song. He passed away recently and I got the chance to play this at his funeral.
    Something he told me before he left was: "When you lose something dear to you, you lose a part of you. You may grieve. You may cry. You may grow angry, believing it was your fault. But know that nothing in this world lasts forever. Eventually everything will disappear. But before that time comes, live your life to the fullest. Don't hold yourself down and mope in your self pity. If you fall, pick yourself back up. Keep dreaming. If you keep pushing forward, you will find happiness once again. And if you already have. Strive further."
    Miss ya dad
    I'll never stop loving you
    (I know there's another comment about their father passing as well. I genuinely mean what is said here. And my heart goes out to that person and anyone else who's ever lost someone dear to them. Even though their gone, their memory remains with you. Be grateful that you still have that.)

    I'll never understand how people can play piano. It just amazes me. Having to use all your fingers playing different notes and then your feet as well seems much more than my brain could handle. I played french horn in high school and 3 fingers and mouth to make one note at a time was all I could handle. Bravo to all of you lucky enough to have this awesome talent and what pleasure it must give you!

      The French horn is still one of the tougher instruments to play

      I play guitar and percussion, I wish I could play Piano. I'm sure if I put the time in i would get the hang of it, but after working to get where i am on other instruments i get frustrated being a beginner again on another lol idk if that makes sense.

    A few years ago I read a comment here that he loves this song because his father played it to him.
    After that comment I wanted to learn it. Then I’m 2022 to my fathers 60th birthday I played it for him. He had tears in his eyes. Thank you very much stranger for your comment

    I’d like this to be played at my funeral, I’d like it because of the somber melody, the sad tones, the calmness, but also the hope the look to the future, the hope for better, my life will have ended but a new future will grow from works
