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?

String Quartet Video
I’m looking for a specific video of Debussy’s String Quartet being performed by an all female string quartet. It used to be available on YouTube, but I can no longer find it. It was my favourite recording of the piece as I felt that the musicians brought a certain conversational attitude to the music that I haven’t found in any other versions.
Is anyone here familiar with this video? Or even the name of the quartet which performed it?

Debussy in Paris
Greetings fellow music lovers,
im currently on vacation in Paris and I thought about visiting places where Debussy lived and worked. Besides his grave I couldnt find much information about such places (i dont speak french), so I hope one of you can help me out :)
Im especially interested in bars or salons where he met other artists of his time.
