I'm trying to impress this hottie tonight by playing some classic music selections when I get her to the crib.

How much Debussy do I play to get my place smellin' like Bu-dussy?

I can't find my favorite version of Clair de lune anymore

The first version of Clair de lune I found was this maybe 11 or 12 year old video on youtube with red stage curtains (maybe a piano in the center and/or a moon in the middle of the parted curtains but that might just be a mental mix of other thumbnails). All I remember exactly is the red curtains. Does anyone know where the version of the song from that video came from ? Maybe it was one of the more popular versions on youtube before it got taken down or something ?

Analysis of the slow movement from Debussy’s string quartet

Hi!

I’d like to share an analysis of the A section from the slow movement of Debussy’s string quartet

This slow and tender section reconciles the genre’s formalist tendencies (highly organized motivic and formal logic) with the composer’s impressionist and modernist tendencies (sensuous harmonies and expanded pitch collections).

I would love to hear your thoughts about this!

My dad was first exposed to Debussy through Tomita’s synth covers from the 80’s

This guys has a whole album of Debussy songs he covered with synthesizers. If anyone was wondering, I was first really exposed to Debussy and his amazing preludes in The Untitled Goose Game!

Debussy's piano

Anyone know what became of Debussy's Bechstein upright piano? I know his Blüthner is in a museum in Brive-la-Gaillarde France.

Playing Debussy fast

Hi everyone.

Just wondering, does anyone else dislike it when Debussy is played at a faster tempo?

Now, I have not studied music, and I have no idea how Debussy himself intended his pieces to be played. I'm just a bad piano player and an avid listener of music.

Today I was listening to a version of his first Arabesque and I could not finish it because of how the performance felt so rushed.

I personally feel like Debussy benefits from slower tempos and even the occasional Rubato. Listening to Debussy is like tasting a fine meal. I feel like I need time to adequately feel and digest every single note.

So I'm personally appaled by versions of Clair de Lune (example) the play the fist bars faster. I immediately switch to another recording.

Do you feel the same by any chance?
