1 Minute, 10 Minutes, 1 Hour Challenge: Debussy, Arabesque No.1 

What's up guys!;P Here is a little christmas surprise for you with another Challenge;) Everyone who wants to know which pieces I have already played and studied in my life can take a look on my reperoire list: www.annique-piano.com/repertoire-liste I wish everyone a merry christmas!! Stay safe!:)

This challenge reminds me of trying to learn a piece just before my piano lesson after not practising all week.

Sight-reading skills: OUT OF THIS WORLD WTF

The 2:3 polyrhythm took me almost a month to perfect and you nailed it in an hour 😔

i just found you in my recommended and I’m obsessed

Im playing the piano for 14 yrs and I still would need 2 days for your 1 minute... And I think you’re being way too harsh to yourself! You’re awesome!

Next challenge: hungarian rhapsody no. 2

So crazy how you handled the triads so easily in your first try...that was the part that I had to practice the most with this piece :o

I am gobsmacked at what an amazing sight reader you are. You never look at the keys! Wow. Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge.

Wonder why this channel is not famous. This is insane, practicing for 1 and getting it done so well. Appreciate it much

c’est vraiment impressionnant de voir à quel point elle maîtrise son solfège et est capable d’être fluide dès les premiers essais

As a newbie piantist, this helps me a lot to understand how to approach a new piece before playing it, what to look for and what to fix, It's not only entertaining to watch the video but you're also teaching stuff at the same time, thank you. :^)

This piece is so beautiful, it sounds like watching a waterfall

Table tennis and piano, the best combination

You’re talented; you’re beautiful; your English is very good; you share your passion with the world. Just want to say thank you. Only a tuned piano missing to make it perfect. Kisses from Portugal.

Not many musicians would be willing to put themselves under the pressure of others performance expectations, even in the spirit of good fun. I am truly impressed how you learned what you did in just over an hour. Well done! On your repertoire list, you have the Kalkbrenner concerto. I never heard of that composer, but my piano dealer sent me a link to your performance on a double Pleyel piano (that's how I learned of you). A masterful performance, bravo!

Maybe Kriesler/rachmaninoff's Liebeslied or liebesfrued could be a nice challenge video idea. Really enjoying your videos!

Omg, I love this piece. I found your channel about 3 days ago, and I was scrolling through your page looking for more of these challenges. I LOVE to see the process. I hope you can do more or these.😍🎹 Thanks for this one.

Just make sure you finish on de Bach, never finish on Debussy. Anyways, awesome work, you are one hell of a piano player. Keep it up!

I started watching your videos like 2 days ago and you suddenly upload one of my favorite classical pieces to this series. Nice.

It is so good to see the hard work that is required to make music - and this is so much more than just playing the keys. Thank you for the music!

I'm learning this song right now and your 10 minutes is like my 2 weeks

You are truly inspirational. Thanks so much for your insight into the energy and weight of each finger. All the best for you, Annique

omg, your channel is amazing!! Please keep doing these kind of videos and challenges... oh and the fact that your practices of 1 and 10 minutes are so productive is mind-blowing!!

I've seen a few of these challenge videos now and it's astounding how fast you take in new pieces! I have a feeling I'll be sticking around to see what other fantastic videos you make.

The piano playing is gorgeous, the editing is pure and comical - all round superb 👏🏼

i love that you put all the tips that you use, i been playing piano for 5 years and i still struggle with practice so it's really helpful for me, also you are amazing

Your films encourage me to practice the piano pieces, thank you!

man your channel is starting blowing up. Good for you!

What a genius, you inspire me to continue studying and practicing day by day

simply incredible the talent you have, this is the reason why i keep watching youtube

Thumbs up! Hope you enjoy doing these cause I like watching them haha. Can't go wrong listening to great music. Also really enjoy the comments and captions

I love the way you learn about yourself, in that it teaches us all to look at ourselves. In other words we all have our faults! Beautiful and honest and that is why I like this video.

Editing the one-minute-part must've been a pain ^^ The concept hasn't gotten old yet, it's really fun to watch! :)

just followed you recently and been really enjoying your vids of the 1/10/60 challenge! having a view of your practice routine has been so insightful. learnt so much about productive practicing from you already (not to mention, technique building). pls do more of these!!

you over there learning whole pieces in 1 hour, me over here who needs several days to get my left and right hand together 🤷 i really enjoy your videos! you are a great player, keep up the great work!

That’s quite a beautiful piece 👏 bravo!

When sight read I also tend to glue my face to the score 😂

Hey Annique, I usually don't comment but I just randomly came across your channel 2 weeks ago and been hooked ever since. I am currently studying abroad and can't play on my piano and seeing you playing the piano rekindled my love for this beautiful music. I am happy to see your channel is getting the recognition it deserves since you gained a lot of subscriptions in the last days. Keep up the good content and your mood cause you have a really cool vibe and I hope you get to play concerts again soon so we might see you there too. Merry Christmas/Frohe Weihnachten! :)

Your videos are so useful as well as entertaining. I've never had a piano lesson so it's great to see how you approach pieces.

I love your content and this piece! I have been learning it myself :D looking forward to the next video.

This is simply amazing.... not only this would have to motivate with intense focus but it was a lot of pleasure to watch. Love it....

I loved playing this piece so much! I was instructed to try it a bit slower than you for build up in the movement. It's so beautiful and you do it so wonderfully. Thank you!

Oh my god, you are fantastic, as soon as i saw the video i cliked it and i knew it was going to be good :). Keep up the great work!

Su minuto es mi semana entera. Simplemente wow, los músicos son las personas que más admiro en el mundo

This piece brings me back to the good ol' days of ABRSM practical exams. Love it!

Loving this series!!!

I love these!! Keep doing what you're doing. These videos inspire me to keep practicing and learning about music.

the concept is simple, but iNtERestInG

this is one of my favorite piece!! thank you, Annique

Can't wait to see your channel get bigger and bigger, danke for the video!!

Clicked for the Butterfly shirt, stayed to hear you practice.

Das Resultat ist traumhaft schön 😍🥰

I recently started to watch your videos (found your channel 3 days ago) and also during this week, I have been listening to Debussy's Arabesque. What a coincidence! 😮

I'm so happy to see that there are no dislikes!

I love this piece so much! Thanks a lot for the nice Christmas gift

Girllll~~ I am such already a big fan and just meet this channel yesterday, like... _Cheers from Brazil

I'm sure you won't see this because it's an older video, but thank you SO MUCH for doing some Debussy challenges! I almost exclusively play Debussy (not well rounded at all, but also I'm not a professional at all, so I do what I want haha) but I often feel bad about my level of playing because I have been at it for 20+ years and I don't have any virtuosic Romantic crowd pleasers to show off. Seeing you, who is 100x a better pianist than me, putting so much work and thought into one of Debussy's simplest pieces is so heartening and inspiring for me. Many a skilled pianist could sit down and get the notes down in an hour and show it off with no soul at all. But the hard part of Debussy *is* the delicate soul of the music and I appreciate you so so much for showcasing that!

This is actually my favourite piano piece!!! Great choice!

I love these types of videos from you !

Great video again. As an amateur pianist it still baffles me to see what a combination of talent, a lot of practice and dedication to the craft can do. Your progress in an hour is absolutely incredible. Keep it up and hopefully the channel keeps growing at this rate! Merry Christmas!

Your 1 hour improvements are mi 3 weeks. Took me a month to finish the piece, and I’m still trying to get it right. You so good

Learning this one now! :) This is the second piece I have seen you do this challenge with which I've also been working on.

Que gran video!! Aprendo mucho viendo estos videos y disfruto de lo dinámicos y educativos que los haces!! Gracias!!

Just decided to pick up this piece and here you are doing this challenge :) Ive not played the piano for almost 20 years and ive recently played again during the pandemic lockdown. Such a challenge as my fingers were so rusty but somehow managed to learn and complete my fav Claire De Lune albeit not very good at it lol This gives me inspiration..thanks!

I love this series of videos, do it more often please.

I’m 1 second in but I just have to comment that I’m so excited for this video! I love this series of yours and Debussy’s my favorite! ✨🌻✨🌻✨ Edit: Amazinggg as always! 💕

That was beautiful. So very talented.

These kinds of videos are so good! really enjoyable and if you keep on posting videos you will definitely gain subscribers quickly because you have the potential!

Good job presenting this video - it is a brave thing to do to give us such a revealing peek behind the scenes. Keep it up! It's inspiring for others. Alles gute!

Yesss I love these videos!! Motivates me to go practice :)

One of my fav piece, thanks for this lovely challenge 🤍

I love to see that you are very bold to challenge yourself to master Arabesque in short period of time. 👍 I love this piece. It is not very easy to master

You learned it so quickly, you are so talented! I love your videos! Keep going ;)

MERRY ALMOST CHRISTMAS! I’ve been learning this piece for the past month and her 10mins is 10x better than me already 🤣

this is a beautiful piece! love this video

I love your channel, just practising this amazing piece myself, am getting a lot of good insights from listening to you, thanks so much. PS also love your musicality and humour, sitting in a cafe in Reykjavik and listening to your practice (mind you with BOSE on my ears) and smiling a lot. Thanks again! Claudia from Germany, in Iceland

Love listen the results, very good!

i love this concept! i feel as if i can connect to my childhood :’) thank you for posting this!

I've been learning this piece for 3 weeks. And I am only at page 3 of 5. It is such a beautiful piece. And I just love practicing it because it is so dramatic and story telling like. I would love to hear you play the complete piece. You are being too hard on yourself really. Just have fun and don't place too much pressure on yourself. Your 1min is my 1 week achievement. If I'm as hard on myself as you are, I will definitely give up playing the piano. I started 4 years ago, bought a cheap China made piano, watch RU-vid videos .. and practice. No Formal music education or teacher. And I suck at music all my life but like the sound of the piano immensely. I just want to be able to play Arabesque beautifully like the way it is supposed to be played. You are really very very talented. Rgds 加油

Hello, in January I started to practise Arabesque and I managed to nearly perfect it. Beautiful piece.

So cool! Thank you for sharing your beautiful final performace

Loving the slippers! 😃 another great video!

Just one word - Wonderful!

Excelent job!!🎉🎉👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

You’re such a good player, so pleasing to hear 🥰🥰🥰

i'm honestly surprised that you dont have ten times the subscribers. these videos are so high quality!

Ah, one of my favorite pieces... You've learned it so well in such short time! And great work with the broken string, but the way. Greetings from Sweden!

woah this is awesome, you're super underrated!!!

I love these videos!!!! You're awesome:)

Love this tune, amazing performance after one hour

Yes! I’m working on this song right now 🙌🏻

Jesus christ!!! You mastered polyrhythms so fast. Amazing!!

Yes! Tasteful and appropriate use of the una corda pedal! I love to see that with this piece.

thank you i learned so much from you, now i can practice and use my time more efficient 💞 always enjoying your videos🧡🧡

Damn, your videos are just amazing, this is real quality content, well edited, good sound, good camera, and amazing pianist, I really enjoyed watching this vid ! You're one of the first youtubers that I'll activate the bell ! I never do usually because I only want to see the important notifications :)
