Dreaming with Debussy: REVERIE - Analysis Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лип 2024
- Debussy spins up the perfect patterns for getting lost in a pleasant daydream. He was actually not a big fan of the piece himself, it was written when he was younger and had not yet reached the modern maturity we also associate with his name. But as piano music, the Rêverie is simply a wonderful delight!

Deeply appreciate the suggestion you made to go against the score and tie those two notes. Classical music has an unhealthy obsession with sticking to the score and forgetting musical intuition.
I already tied them, I hadn't noticed I wasn't supposed to!!
Hey! I've been watching your videos for a while now and I noticed that you've been trying new things recently on your channel! There is something so elegant and beautiful about the way you explain things or introduce the background of a piece no matter what new things you introduce - it always has that slight tranquility vibe. Watching your analysis makes me feel emotions that I cannot express, and I really appreciate everything that you are doing for us. I like classical music, and I like analyzing the emotions behind any piece of art, and when I first discovered your channel I was so grateful someone can make the analysis so vivid that it is easy to follow and express it in my own performance, the break-down helps me to learn easier and empathize with the piece better. My favorite thing about your channel is that it never disappoints in providing me with the knowledge I strive for, and most importantly, some peace of mind after a hard week's work.
Yes! My favorite Debussy piece
Oh, Debussy, I love Debussy!
Sometimes all I can think about is Debussy.
Oh, look at the pianist!
The pianist is so good with Debussy.
Yes, Dm9 is "super-nice", I totally agree 🙂
Oh, wow, I haven't played this piece in decades! I have given it to lots of students, but there is more than enough within this piece to keep the pros busy, too. Perhaps it's time I take another look at it after all these years for myself (instead of just my students)!
I think it's a great piece for students, because it's quite less dense like other comparable romantic repertoire...
@@SonataSecrets couldn't agree more!
The best lesson of this piece, I feel
Very thoughtful.
Tak. Du er utroligt inspirerende.
really enjoying the new set up. great content as always
Very clear analysis to the piece. Thanks a lot !
Thank you Henrik, you have inspired me to go play it now!
this lesson is amazing!
I just love this piece.
Thank you for the in depth breakdown. I just realized the few notes I was hitting incorrectly, it’s a very complicated piece 😅. Also, loved the chords analysis, it makes it lot more understandable. Much appreciated 😊
This piece of music is totally celestial.
Quality analysis as usual, much appreciated!
My pleasure!
Thank you.
I can't tell if it's because I'm coming back after a while, you've upgraded your audio equipment, or the fact that it's Debussy's Reverie, but the piano sound is so lush in this video! I really enjoyed listening to it.
Anyway, that was a really nice analysis that helped me realise just how nice these harmonies were. It makes me want to pick this piece up.
Since you've been back on Debussy again lately, what do you think of "L'isle joyeuse"? It's a crazy (and difficult) piece, but I feel like the tonalities there are worth analysing, and I certainly would like to see your take on it.
You're on point! I used a new variant of a microphone setup and mix here which I think works better, but it's the first time in this video. (it's also quite close after a tuning)
I haven't played L'isle joyeuse but I know about it. Interesting piece.
Thank you, thank you. I love this piece. Thank you for including more Debussy content. I dig his jazzy sounding progressions.
Yes, I had to flesh out the Debussy playlist, have one more peice coming shortly actually!
@@SonataSecrets looking forward Henrik. Thanks for your awesome channel.
Can anyone recommend some suggestions on best resources to learn more about the theory so I can understand this lesson more in depth? I don't know chords etc, is there any recommended book or tutorial to do so I can come back and fully understand this video's content?
That reference at the beginning 😂😂😂 👏
FInally someone got it! :)
I don’t get it
@@lishi9154watch Westworld 😊
that triplet is killing me :)
17:56 classic 3 hands audio illusion by Debussy lol
I love the analysis. This is one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.
Can you do the same with Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 by Liszt?
thank you. what a lovely piece. i do think it's a bit hard for me to try, although i would love to be able to play this.
Maybe I will do a Simple solutions edition of it.....
@@SonataSecrets Yes yes yes
jist start to practice. So in time
Thankyou, a very useful analysis and observations. However, pulse/rhythm is one of my problems in this piece, I would have liked attention to this aspect. I’m glad I watched it though.
Loving the 'spicy' c# at 16:22
Debussy. Jazzer by heart.
He forgot to mention that the opening figure accompaniment in the left hand is a whole tone series which is very characteristic of Debussy’s impressionistic style.
It’s not a whole tone series though - it would be if the G was Gb.
@@cr8207 I think you are right, then it must be something like a pentatonic scale isn’t it ?
Does the beginning of the piece actually use pentatonic scale?
This was the first Debussy piece I ever learned to play when I was 17 years old. Such a lovely sounding piece - too bad Debussy didn't like "Reverie" (he also thought "Clair de Lune" wasn't his best work and didn't want it published).
Yeah, apparently he wrote some of Claire de lune at an earlier time like this too (then called "Promenade sentimentale"), and did some revisions for the publication of the whole suite in 1905.
Chopin didn't want his Fantasy-Impromptu published either & it turned out to be one of his most popular pieces as well. Then there's Ravel with the Pavane Pour Une Infant Defunte, & Rachmaninoff with the c# minor prelude.
@@jessevallejo8797 Chopin didn't want the Fantasie-Impromptu published because it was a composition he had sold to a Baroness d"Este. It wasn't because he thought it was unworthy of publication. See the Wikipedia page for the piece.
the beginning is in Bb lydian
Me: Loves this piece to the point of obsession, often crying and smiling whenever I hear it.
Debussy: I wrote it in a hurry, a work of no significance and I consider it to be no good.

do Schumann 28 no2
Thank you for your wonderful examination and analysis of this piece--your channel is really a gem!!
Hey, Sir! I want to ask isn’t the music sheet says the beginning left hand of this pieces should be D flat, E, F, B? Did I made mistakes in reading these notes? It confused quite a lot😢
"I wrote it in a hurry" proceeds to casually make a master piece
starts in Bb lydian...the left hand figure spells out a Bb maj13(add 9) a pandiatonic/modal thing. I ll watch the rest later.
Hi
Bar 88 why Eb major 7? Tks
You've probably skipped Chopin's noctune op.9 no.1. Could you do it (or if you have, could you explain where plz?)
I will definitely do that piece, soon!
Finally done it now!
ua-cam.com/video/j5sOlWPyAvg/v-deo.html
