Debussy - Clair de Lune No 3 from Suite bergamasque, L 75 (Lesson Excerpt) 

Debussy’s Clair de lune is a hallmark of Impressionist music, renowned for its evocative portrayal of moonlight and the dreamlike atmosphere it conveys. The piece is characterised by several distinctive musical features, including rich and colourful harmonies, layers of texture, naunced dynamics, use of rubato and development of recurring motifs throughout.
In a detailed (45-minute!) video lesson, Fred Karpoff explores this famous atmospheric landscape with wide-ranging advice on how to play this piece with ease. This includes novel fingering solutions in an accompanying marked score, including creative ways to retake notes with either hand to produce a smoother, more horizontal projection of the material, worthy of the composer who envisaged the sound of a “piano without hammers”.
