Hello everyone! I've always loved this piece and somehow I went all these years never learning it. I'm so glad I finally did! First things first, I have a question for my fellow musicians and music nerds: The ending...does anyone else hear "Somewhere" from Westside Story?! I'm convinced Bernstein must have been quoting Debussy in that song. Let me know in the comments if you agree! I wrote some more info on this piece in the description box if you're interested. Thanks for watching!
I totally agree, I love the West Side Story soundtrack. I've listened to it a ton and this ending sounds almost exactly like "Somewhere." It's so beautiful and you play it so well, congratulations on learning this beautiful new piece 😁🥳
I think "Somewhere" also borrows from Beethoven's 5th piano concerto (2nd Movement). I noticed it when I was listening to it so I looked it up and there's some articles online about it. Wouldn't be surprised if he borrowed from other places too.
I've heard that too for a while. Listen to John Mackey's Frozen Cathedral (for wind orchestra) - I think he refers to this piece about a thousand times.
I've loved this piece since childhood. What a beautiful interpretation. Such care in its performance. I close my eyes and can see the scene as my high school conductor related the tale behind it. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
Haunting piece and beautifully interpreted. Thank you Marnie. I read that… "The opening of the piece gently brings in the cathedral, out of the (flood) water, with a melody that resembles waves. Debussy wrote in Peu à peu sortant de la brume (Emerging from the fog little by little). Then after a section marked Augmentez progressivement (Slowly growing), the cathedral emerges and the grand organ is heard with a powerful fortissimo. This is the loudest part of the piece. The cathedral then sinks back down into the ocean and the organ is heard once more, but this time from under water. Finally, it is out of sight and only the bells are heard at a distant pianissimo". - From Shari Mathias writing for Parker Symphony Orchestra about Debussy’s "Sunken Cathedral.”
Hello Marnie and Patrick. I dream to hear your duo playing Nimrod Enigma Variation IX. I'm sure you will be able to find a very special arrangement for this masterpiece. Good luck 🙂
This is one of my favorite pieces anywhere. Sensitive job, and excellent recording. You guys have a real niche with chamber and solo music. I'm on board.
Wow - I absolutely love this piece and the way you play it! I want to learn it, too! I also like the sound of your piano a lot! May I ask which brand it is from and when it was built?
I’ve never learned this piece, I’m inspired to try it. Thank you for sharing, you play beautifully! I have a question. I notice you use a tablet. Was wondering if the music on the tablet turns pages as you play. If so would you mind sharing what app you use? I’m still using books and sheet music. I just got an iPad and would love to be able to play off of my tablet instead of books and sheet music. Any recommendations would be helpful. Thx!
My son played this as a precocious musician. I always loved it. He is now disabled and can't play. This is a beautiful rendition!
I really love how you played it, replaced the previous version i had in my spotify playlist. May well be my favourite play of 2023.
Absolutely gorgeous! Including your pink heels 👠 💗
I love Debussy. Hello from Paris in France
Álljon itt magyarul is, hogy elképesztő, csodálatos előadás!!!!❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Köszönjük szépen!!!

I have come back to your Shari Mathias wonderful description of this rendition perhaps a dozen times since you posted it. Thx so much.
Still coming back to your masterpiece, especially 1:50 the crescendo. You really engage
Well, phew am speechless. The 👌 best
I love this piece so much, can't wait to hear Marnie play it.
Magnifica! Interpretacion👏👏👏🎹🇦🇷

Thanks for watching! I use ForScore for the music on the iPad, and I turn the pages with a wireless foot pedal.
Thank you! Well done.
I KNOW I’ll love it so here’s my 👍 beforehand
Absolutely beautiful! I love this piece.

Teresa Carreño????
Did you rent that piano and space?
Ten or so of the black keys look to either be worn thru or have white tape on them. What am I missing ? ?
