Clair de lune - Debussy (guitare) 

Beautifully played and sounding.

just watched. amazing. thank you

clair de lune....thanks.

One of my favourite pieces and you played it beautifully. The performance was as gorgeous to my eyes as it was in my ears.

Thank you for sharing this masterpiece ❤️ greetings from the Netherlands ❤️❤️🙏

Damn... I'm only 13, and this blows my mind how there are people watching RU-vid above the age of 50...

I'm 57 and this is third most beautiful thing I've ever heard. The top two...

Samuel Yang "she plays 9/8 on guitar" so what lol

Nossi cuz for drums you purposely to play to feel the beat again, on a guitar it's not that simple

Ha ha Sam... love your sense of humor, "kill me" is perfect..I feel the same way every time I listen to Bill Evans, Paul Desmond or Julian Bream playing this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ua4x1UEvm3s.html

About the piano thingy... It's not that hard once you've mastered those hand-wrenching arpeggios on your left hand

6. She is very beautiful

LMAO

Learn how to identify a joke

Hahaha

BRO LMAO

Well. I'd left a post here about how there are many ways of learning a song, tbs, by sound by watching etc. But I guess it verged, completely unintentionally, on creepy and it got excised -(that's just as well, I'd intended to edit it anyway)

Hi Craig. Very sorry about your Mom's passing. Hoping the Lord will bless you with His peace and comfort, and this composition will help with that. God Bless...

@@kenwbrenner Thank you for your well wishes. Very, very few strangers would take the time to do that. So, I'm most definitely compelled to acknowledge your kindness and giving nature!

@@craigjohnson4302 It is my blessing to do so, hoping you will be blessed...

Im with Ken. Sorry for your loss ,Craig.

Bravo

classical music is so intense to my untrained ear, its hard to imagine a lot of people on piano being able to recreate a work 1:1. or the other side of the coin, masters of guitar being able to perfectly nail a solo from an original is just insane to me. I figured even the original artists just have to improv a bit but I dunno

Just FYI it's not her arrangement

It's just... I don't know. Sad? Happy? Grief? Regret? I'm confused as much as I am enthralled.

Anas Azhari it's all of those things :)

what

Exactly! This is a transcendent playing, genial musician. Made me cry also.

It's a piece❤️

oof you got some issues eh

connor nyhart is it so odd to be moved by a specific song that is so attached deep to the soul? Lol but yeah I can’t disagree I have issues for sure you are right about that

connor nyhart we all have issues... mine stem from bully’s poking “fun” at me when i was young... later life has taught me that its is them who will die lonely and afraid unless they do the work to change. think about this long and hard Connor.

I agree , Incredible talent, I'm going to practice MUCH more ..

I could listen to her play all day.

"Et la lune descend sur le temple qui fut!" Roxane touche les cordes avec la précision d'un humble et grand joaillier élevant l'âme dans des reflets d'éternité!

Thanks Roxane. I listen to this piece at least once a week. It's such a great combination of focus and passion and lyricism.

Debussy is master of strange and weird harmony patterns he may write any note in any contex, I guess it's really hard on guitar.

I was just thinking of your performance right now and checked if you had it on spotify, perfect timing!!!!

superb, would do it, as a comment.

tallshortnotsotall Do you play on classical guitar too? It’s beautiful

Hahahahaha good one

yeah :(

despite classical guitar being ancestor of electric guitar, the way it is played makes it look like totally different instrument.

I'm selling mine. It's been lying to me all this time.

You are so correct!

Definitely a reason to live and I’m thankful to the composer, arranger and performer

Moiso You said everything

Totally agree with you

Moiso hahahah

Thank you Paul R. I love her.

What does this mean?

@@jackoplumkin6412 she studied classical guitar at a conservatory named Aulan-sous-Bois in France

@@brendan.perdue What's the significance of a conservatory?

@@jackoplumkin6412 It's like a music school. And Aulnay-sous-bois is a name of the town where the conservatory is

Yes! I loved the unhurried pace, the sense of lingering.

THIS one so bad!!

You're doing your part by listening and appreciating it. Without you, where would this artist be? Alone...

I started playing guitar about 12 years ago in my early 40's and at this point in life there is no way I will ever be as good as this lady. it can be both discouraging and inspirational. I always side with inspiration though because I have found it highly rewarding to play what I have learned how to play. I'm still taking some lessons and have started taking on some jazz chords as well as short classical pieces. it's never too late.

If your life has led you to something this pure and beautiful, and you can still find joy and peace and meaning, then your time has not been wasted.

jiblet 65 even if she’d been playing for 30 years....in the same amount of time and same effort in practicing and exploring, you could do it too. 😊

That comment itself proves that you have not.. 😌

Josefin Johansson

It's about time!

Same here.

LE MUSICIEN h

Muy de acuerdo !

billyfromtheusa poo

@billyfromtheusa Evil is not something, but the lack or the deficiency of something. For example, the evil resembled by a blind man is the absence of sight; The evil in a thief is the lack of honesty. Human beings are rational creatures. If music alone fills the emptiness in you, then embrace it and stop being a "evil and horrible human"! 😊🤗

billyfromtheusa hellen keller is evil

@billyfromtheusa I was purposefully ironic at certain points in my argument, yet you did not understand me as I expected. Hold tight, stay with God! I Love you! and He also!!! 😊

billyfromtheusa evil and good ate relative concepts, just as basically everything. So you saying that humans are evil might not be the truth to others. Humans are awesome :)

🤍💙💙❤️❤️!! Down with all this ''Slava Cocaine'' or ''slava Ukraine'' nonsense...many westerners know that Ukraine is banderites and hitler worshippers.......

💙💙🤍🤍❤️

Monika Staroń.. Love has its angels, ready to scintillate the mind and heart of any musician with divine inspiration to express and achieve new territory in the realm of beauty and truth. So I would indeed say that this woman has learned from angels of Love.

Angels want to learn from her

She is an angel

Gag!

Truly. I am shocked by this rendering. Incredible arrangement too.

Yes, she does! And what a gorgeous, captivating arrangement. Some really transcendent moments.

That's because guitar and piano have a lot of things in common with how they produce sound, so of course the notes timbre will be largely similar, as opposed to how it would be with a violin or trumpet.

foreal. it's crazy.

@@Leonhart_93 you should listen the Oistrakh version, breathtaking. Of course the piano remains the best, Kocsis version of course 🤗 this is nice but I wish she didn't have to jump octavs, it breaks the melody line, maybe in another tonality ?

The power of ling ling

LING LING FORTY HOURSSS

Ling ling 40 hours.

Ling Ling's proud

i come here to watch this video every now and then, did not expect ling ling gang

Segovia once said..."The guitar maintains its natural beauty at the hands of the novice." Embrace the level of skill you have today. Its all about the journey....enjoy !

Guitar: Do this to me!! I dare you

yours too...? I thot it was just all of mine.... fkers!

I once had a thought when I heard a piece of music, "I could never, ever, not in a MILLION BILLION YEARS play like that". Then I realized that I had absolutely nothing to lose by trying and went to buy a guitar. The first piece of music I ever tried to learn on the guitar was the Koyunbaba Suite... Not exactly beginner fare. It took a few years, but the love of the one piece kept drawing me forward to learn more and more and while I'm certainly no concert master, I can now play 20-30 minutes of reasonably engaging repertoire. I can even play the first 3 movements of the Koyunbaba Suite. I had a setback a few years ago when I played the piece for my grandmother on hear deathbed from the other side of the world. I didn't have much else of value to share with her as she was reaching out to her loved ones to make her feel like she had lived a good life. She stopped me as the emotional climax was building in the third movement and said it was too sad. We talked briefly after that and that was the last time we spoke. The piece is interpretative and can change flavor depending on the mood of the person playing. I was in a dark place at that time in my life and I think it came through. I have had a lot of trouble studying past that point because of it and the piece brought me to tears several times since then until I had to let it go. Even now, it takes tremendous effort to practice it and my eyes well up just writing this brief account. But in the end, I suppose that means that I was able to play it meaningfully, even if it was reflecting too much sadness. But this story wouldn't have happened if I hadn't tried. It would have simply been an awkward phone call where she asked me if I had any girlfriends or had thought about maybe making a family some day, while several of my cousins had delighted her with their small children and fresh life. Instead, I have something bittersweet, that is a reminder of what is important in life from a person who was and is still extremely important to me, in a way that I will never forget.

@@eschelar Thank you for sharing your story. Mine is quite different, but when I feel depressed somehow I end practicing with my guitar just to fill the void. I began with Asturias, by Albeniz. I'm still not capable of playing at the right speed and I haven't learned half of the piece yet, but even if I learn to play another 4 or 5 notes, I feel better. However, that piece alone kept me trying and I have learned a few other (easy) pieces that make me fell like I'm making progress.

Pin this to be at the top so everyone can see it right away..... ❤️❤️❤️

Nice

thank you so much for you music. After 8 years of coming up with plenty of excuses to not get a new guitar after my old one broke, watching this video inspired me to get a new one. I can not wait to learn this score and look forward to hearing more from you.

You are awesome

Congratulations! I have wanted to own a recording of your interpretation of Clair de Lune for a long time and I'm equally excited to hear anything else you record for the album!

A different note ... and there would be ... diminishment.

sometimes you don’t even know you want it until it plays

wow... I love your comment so much.

I wouldn't be able to think of a better way to put it

agreed, even the minor notes are the one that i want imagine to hear it!👌

It is almost impossible. I'm trying.

So much is, this music so good

I think she has transposed from the original Db, to D for the guitar. Still sounds wonderful. :-) EDIT: After listening side by side with piano rendition, they are in the same key, so the guitarist must have detuned by a half-step. :-)

I didn't either, that was impeccable, and of course, sublime. Bravissima!

Breath taken away at the first note for this very reason. I've tried it too and failed hard. People who only listen may have their breath taken away for one reason. People who play may be astounded for another. Wow.

But when they figure out they can download everything from Amazon, we’re fucked

She is the alien.

It really is things like this that make not only individual human lives worth living, but justify our entire wretched species. An almost infinite number of occurrences, an inconceivably long chain of causes and effects, for this to exist, and for us to listen to it.

✨💋💕🙏

send this to Bill Gates... maybe it will work on him too.

Lol.

Lol

Lol.

Lol.

Lol.

Badiuzzaman Mohamed Laurindo Almeida also transposed and played a wonderful version, but I believe hers is even better, which is my highest praise.

Big dookie how do you notice that tf

Does anyone know how she tuned her guitar ? it sounds different on mine

@@ouafmannlitchfield5448 Is tuned half step down on each string :)

@@olliebear9256 Yes! But he had more than one version. My favorite is from the "Music for Lovers" LP. However, I believe that version is him playing an overdubbed track; essentially two guitars.

You can do it

I laughed

Mine too!!!

Eli Bleu,😂😂😂thanks for the laugh! Your comment cracked me up!!!

Lol.. Semangat

It really isnt that difficult to play on piano anyway though, it just sounds like it because of all the arpeggios

Springboob Squirepin Yes, that always helps, too.

Indeed. I got a guitar and can't lie, it's confusing. I also had quite a hard time holding strings on the fretboard, the tone would go off. You had to be precise, just to get a note sounding as it should

Lazy Yandere Yeah, this is a highly underrated performance.

In my opinion, i mean yeah it is harder to play on guitar, but it is also not easy to play on piano too. I think people like the piano better because clair de lune has been known with a piano and its also nice to hear on piano. But the guiitar man, masterpiece.

She has long skinny fingers. Always an advantage.

What impresses me the most is how every note rings perfectly at the right volume, despite the insane fingerings

Equal Sql grow up shit fingers

Oh come on she just stretched 6 frets

That's why she's holding the guitar like a cello.

...and look at those finger positions... clearly not easy to do.

@@mattimaranda9638 no shit!

On the lower neck, her fingers have the most amazing stretch into five and occasionally six frets…. And the pauses…. Seemed perfect w/ just the correct amount of timing to move to the next position

She's probably more accurate at gang signs than the actual gangsters.

It's the casual and perfect use of harmonics that gets me. I don't play guitar but I appreciate it!

Pandas really can see the future!

Ling ling oh i gonna practice...

I don't want to undermine this guitarist as she is very talented with beautiful technique. But I wanted to say this piece isn't as complex as it seems and something you can very much work your way up to with an intelligent practice routine.

@@alexhoward1884 Like all beautiful masterpieces.....there are parts that are easy....then there are parts of complexity. Putting it all together is what seperates the masters and the rest of us. Good luck on your journey .....I hope to maybe one day capture the beauty this artist holds.

Do you mean a lot, or infinite? Just asking becauseonly one makes sense.

And monster of sensitivity

Absolutely.There is such meticulous silence and delicate fingerwork there that even the very few, light frizzes there are should weigh more than gold ! Beautiful execution. Masterfully accomplished.

That chord at 1:23 !!

Thank you. I’m no master of guitar but she’s doing some crazy twisted hand positions here. And smoothly and deftly. Very nice.

French orchestral composer Berlioz was a guitar player, so it is not beyond possibility that Debussy may also have had a small guitar propped up by the piano.

Absolutely. I totally agree. 👌🏻

Totally agree.... Somehow she made it divine.....

try playing it on the Guitar.... so... .no

The warmth of it is so wonderfully delicious. Makes me feel hugged.

Alex Peter exactly!

I think it's with all the harmonics, those are way softer than the usual fingerpicked notes, and notes on the harp are softer than on guitar

It's also the fact that she's intentionally playing close to the middle of the string, which is where the harp is plucked (while the guitar normally gets plucked around 1/3rd from the bridge)

What a beautiful comment, you made me feel sad but joyful for what it represents for you, thanks for sharing.

Aww I love that. Music is such an amazing bridge to our memories ☺️

@@jessicapreston9808 it can heal and sooth tragedy . i appreciate your comment

Why the frick am i crying

Lol

I believe hes dead mate!

Debussy’s been awfully quite since he was dropped

The fact that you aren’t even wrong-

No he's still alive I saw him at the shoe store

what does that mean bob? baring her soul?

@@jerome4385 She is to guitar what Ben Webster is to sax. There are instrumentalists and vocalists (I won't mention names) who are very clinical and cerebral in their approach to playing; no emotion attached to it at all. That, by necessity, is the way it is when you're learning a new piece. But once you have it in your pocket, you own it. Your performance of the piece doesn't come from the brain but from somewhere deep inside. And that's what we're hearing here. This lady didn't play a single note that didn't have a piece of her soul attached to it. And that is guitartistry in its purest form.

@@bobburford Well said! :D

@@bobburford why does it always have to be about sax bob?

Go back stuffin your face with turkey Bob

Wonderful story. What a way to grasp the power, importance, and beauty of music in peoples' lives. Also makes me grateful for my fortunate circumstances, and for the way that many people in drastically different situations can still have a common appreciation for things, like Debussy's beautiful piano compositions. Thanks for sharing.

That's a beautiful comment. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for that Ken.

Ken McCormack i always troll comments no matter what but this... this is different.

wow.....this gave me goosebumps
