1Min, 10Min, 1Hour Challenge: Clair de Lune - Debussy 

Kewl, great video as always, 9/8 rhythm is pretty unusual but u pulled it off flawlessly!

ive played the first two pages

As a frenchie, I can confirm that the right spelling actually is Clair de Lune. You nailed the pronounciation too in the video which is even more impressive. Love the vids :)

This is my favorite piece but the sheet music dont have fingering how i can get the fingering or what i can do

And Anique you are impresive learning

This piece, as you put it, is VERY different after even just 30 min or so of music analysis. So much depth behind the notes.

It's spelled Clair De Lune.

fanyu everywhere

Love your profile pic

Tapos?

Stole my comment ahahahah.

Lol...we don't know that for sure u know,but I can relate 😁

Twosetttttt!

@@shirlyjosna2702 yesssssssssss

Honestly same…..apparently my rhythm is super whack

@@akiyachef_5213 Yeah I struggle with that too

@william same but it is still very fun and relaxing to play which is the most important thing for me

@@noahmanus2923 agreed

@@connieknight9077 yeah I looked it up I think you mean Josh Wright and its actuallu helpfull I needed this thank you!

More than I have in 6!!

My sentiments exactly - just missing the low lights and candles! Would love to hear her interpretation after a couple of years of playing the piece.

😂

Un, deux, trois, quatre, cinq, six, sept, huit, neuf

You are totally right. You have to catch the emotions and the soul of Debussy!!!

Wait do you mean

Super skilled but she most definitely has before at least briefly.

Where is the soul?

@@greenwhitepnion9211 they aren’t talking about the Classical period.

I think that she's not learning it for the first time,but is just practing it after a long time,or just for her it's a normal practice session,because it's impossibilità she has never played it hahaha

@@sophiepreuer9362 I play this piece with ‘soul’ (I can’t be bothered sorting out my rhythm so I play what feels right in the moment)

I was taught to count triplets or compound time as 1 + a 2 + a 3 + a, etc. (i.e. one and ah two and ah three and ah). And semiquavers/sixteenths as 1 e + a 2 e + a (one ee and ah two ee and ah...) etc. I thought everyone did that, but maybe it's just a percussionist thing.

@@atatdotdot lots of different ways to do it!

By the way, that is because this is a waltz, or at least it’s in 3/4. I don’t know if you know that, but it feels worth mentioning.

My point was that a piece in 9/8 does not have nine beats in a bar, it has three - it's compound triple time. So you should count 1 x y 2 x y 3 x y, where x and y are some subdivision syllables - and I presume these will vary by region or teacher.

The exactly counting is 1 2 3 in dotted quater note that’s its. you must to feel each dotted quater note. The firts one must be feel like if you exhale more heavyweight and relax all the tension, and the second and the third must be inhale more light. you always must feel a circle To each bars of music with your wrist cause wrist breathe. the circle begins to the bottom with the first time. And goes up with the other time and start again with the first time to the next music bar. All the piano’s music must be played like that, cause you group your music bar in single gesture

yes!

Debussy’s works are from the impressionistic era not romantic. Even though Debussy himself hated the word Impressionism, his works are still classified as impressionistic. He was one of the founding fathers of Impressionism.

Liszt, Chopin, Schumann, Brahms represent the romantic ear. Debussy was MUCH later and really is not a representative of the romantic era at all.

Why does the word "romantic" always get so abused? Something which sounds nice or "dreamy" is not necessarily romantic. I mean, suicide is romantic.

@@Kref3 Debussy was not MUCH later than Brahms lmao

​@@pierfrancescopeperoni Romantic as in Romanticism, the artistic and intellectual period/movement, is a tad bit differently classified ;)

yess pls i’ve been asking for that too

Yess , I also asked for that one lol

Good idea...

I think she has learnt this piece, she's a big fan of Chopin

@@user-jc3fr7vn7x I never saw her playing this on her Instagram at least... And by the way, even though she's played before, I'll give you an example: she's already tried to play Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement before, but even so, she made a recent video playing this piece as a challenge... The only absolute and confirmed truth is to see her answer about it.

Mr Fryderyk you are pride of Poland! The whole country is very proud of you! 🇵🇱

@@karolpawlowski5368 oh thanks for the kind comment!

Im not sure she could learn it in one hour

@@moimorak she did Hungarian rhapsody in 1 hour soooo

@@moimorak definitely manageable

@@nezajaz Leibestraum no 3 is far more difficult than Claire de Lune, and longer, so not sure why you seem so sure.

@@jdun1 cause Liebestraum is not too complex for sight-reading. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy. There are a couple of cadenza-like moments that take a bit more time, but it's not like her end results are concert-ready performances, nor are they intended to be. On the other hand, I've seen people with some extraordinary sight reading skills who could probably sight read the entire Friska section (mentioned in the comment section earlier) with no problem, not to mention Liebestraum. So it all depends on the individual, I guess.

Time is limited there are always more pieces

She tries to learn lesser known pieces to challenge herself, especially Chopin etudes

@@andrewleaming3049 chopin etudes are well known though

@@practician5730 not as well known as moonlight sonata or Claire de lune though

Never studied this piece as yet. It is a beautiful piece but sounds complex to play well. Great job Annique!!😊. There are so many pieces to learn and so little time…

mine too

Do you feel that every time you play it, the piece asks more from you? As if you're close to getting what you want from it, but there's still that extra bit that's always seems out of reach?

@lollycopter well first off... I'm amateur at best.... but I definitely enjoy it.... but...in short yes... I work on one part... and I find another part that needs working on... so on and so forth... but it's such a great piece...
