Debussy - Children's Corner

[ROYALWAND]

very well done

excellent! :)

had not heard these pieces in over 20 years

thanks for the good work

[TheZdephinio]

Articulation could be more precise.

Very good job

[Granados70]

Ehi, at mesure 7 did you try to play the E with left hand? Debussy wrote this E on the basso key... Try, you will make the crescendo and diminuendo really better :)

[Granados70]

Really beautiful!! My compliments!

[Dolphinboy02056]

i think most people play it too fast... i like to have time to hear the notes, i guess, but you do it much more smoothly than most, and the light, fluttery, carefree feeling really shines through! bravo!

[Gabriolina]

Very good!!!

[sarahbechillin]

WOW, you can play that fast. I'm learned it and I'm very very slow :P

[ReignOfPraine]

Great job! Doctor Gradus Ad Parnassum and Golliwogg's Cakewalk are two of my favorite movements and you played them excellently. If you switched The Snow is Dancing with Serenade for the Doll, I would've liked it even more, but hey it was a great choice of songs nonetheless. 5 stars!

[arkilus]

great

[didispies]

wow you can play "children's corner"really fast..i can't play it so fast ..:)) great job!

[pyat77]

Very Good

I just printed out Dr Gradus Ad Parnassum yesterday and have found it very difficult. Your playing has inspired me to keep working on it! Thank You

Great Video

[Polarfuchs101]

wish i could play this as good as you....*-*

[radudeATL]

Music is not about perfection. It's about sharing yourself. Thanks for a beautiful performance.

[WestEndCal]

but needs polish too.

[WestEndCal]

Old favourites I handed down to my youngest when he was wee.

Good performance!Tres bien!

[elgatosucio]

Very touching performance!!

[WikaBraun]

Klasse!!!

[HiL1KuS09]

you did awesome. great job. the only thing i'd say is that you're playing The Snow is Foxtrottin'....slow it down a bit. otherwise, fantastic

[SailorVVV]

Perhaps just slow the snow down. You don't want it to turn into a drizzle!

[meitull]

ווואוו!! זה מדהים!!

[lepianiste36]

je ne sais pas si c'est comme sur votre partition mais vous devriez faire les croisements de mains au début du morceau.

[I3enedikt]

den kenn ich doch!! XD sag doch das du so gut klavier spielst!!! fette sache find ich richtig gut!! =) 5*

[mariambsc]

I've already played Dr Gradus Ad Parnassum! I like your interpretation, but I think it's a bit too static (in dynamics)

keep the good work!

[LAentertainment]

yeah you are right, i'll try to play with more dynamic contrasts =)

[181818070707]

amazing!

[SlyerThanY0u]

wow =D

[kuentzler75]

plus vite pour Dr Gradus ad Parnassum trop de pedale par moment, tres bonne interpretation de The Snow is dancing et dans le dernier morceau je trouve que la main droite ne s'exprime pas assez et vers les 6'50, trop de pedale, dommage, mais il ya un tres tres bn potentiel car bonne interpretation! Bonne continuation!

[kpatb]

Wooow, I love how your fingers stay pretty much flat on the piano. Mine are like.. I dont know, spiders...and you make it look so easy. I loved Dr Gradus, keep playing =)

[claonline]

Oooh you're so good boy ! i would like to play Dr Gradus Ad Parnassum like U =(

[Red00Lipstick]

That was nicely done!!

I love how Doctor Gradus isn't tooo hard and you can just go crazy and let yourself free.. unlike The snow is dancing, that one is crazy by itself and soo hard to play. You're amazing :)

[DanTheManMonty15]

That was awsome bro.hella cool,u should play Jimbo's Lullaby.That one is my favorite.and the funest to play my opinon.lol. :]

[ringelvogelsara]

wow great!!!! i', just starting to learn golliwogg's cake walk, it is very healpfull to hear it, you played it great!!!

[wigglesnoosh]

kinda wierd... my names also leo and i can play this aswell :D i prefer it slower though, but this is damn good!

[LAentertainment]

haha yeah and I'm also 20 almost =)

[wigglesnoosh]

im only 16 and ive been playing for 5 weeks! im suprised i can even read the music!

[LAentertainment]

okay but why did you write "20" into your profile? =)

[wigglesnoosh]

because if you are 16 on youtube you cant view some videos and most have an age check, so i put myself as 20 :) we have an army section in our school so i like to see what the war is like on youtube videos

[Xiny0ung]

impressive.. I love it :-)

[pilleh]

OH MY. You're amazing.

I can't say anything else. I'm in shock!

[wallygreeninker]

I always imagine snow being whipped up by the wind in eddies and flurries when I hear this piece. I think it should be played quite fast.

[stoutfellow]

Excellent! I love Debussy and your renderings are very musical and display very nice technique. Five stars for you.

[cpanati]

Very accomplished. You've obviously had good training, good teachers, and put in the hours.

[fatchan]

Does anybody have a video of Debussy playing snow is dancing this fast? I hear it in many videos and I hate it personally because to me it just doesn't sound like snow, and I've said this on many videos...

You're way better at piano than me though, I'd just suggest playing snow is dancing slower...more emotively...look at some videos of snow? I don't know I'm most likely the one in the wrong here. Yay for interpretive music though.

[frenchstrings]

I agree that this feels too fast for snow. It also should be more free with the rhythym.

You won't find any videos of Debussy playing, he was dead in 1918...

[fatchan]

Sorry, meant a youtube video with audio. I'm pretty sure there are audio recordings of him playing Children's Corner.

[LAentertainment]

oh well, but I like it more so fast =)

[fatchan]

Of course, that's the most important thing that you enjoy playing it above anything else!

[LAentertainment]

Few minutes ago i tried to play it a bit slower, I think its nice too. You can create different images. Probably you associate with snow that the snow covers all and let all dream so its more calm (sorry for bad english). But when I was recording this piece I had in mind that snowflakes rushing to the air, you know, turbulent .. "dancing"

[kousski]

i love it

[cmorera]

great

[1singlet]

I saw the Golliwogg! Ha! Hey, nice playing!

[mason104]

Lio, I really liked Gradus ad Parnassum. It was just how I think it should be played (although, I also favor any good interpretation). I just say thanks for sharing these three pieces, together. Great job!

[ChypreMe]

A lovely job! Thank you!

JM

[ixstarangelix]

great job. im playing "snow is dancing" now and my brother has played the other two pieces a while ago.

[Kytiane]

Hi Lio ^-^ You did a really good job on all of the pieces, and I like the expression in "The Snow is Dancing". It just so happens that I am also working on these three pieces, and I'll post a video response once I've mastered them (which will probably be sometime next year XP) Well done!

[mitsuki10]

Hey! My fav would be The Snow Is Dancing really nicely played and all floaty like, whereas Golliwogg's Cake Walk is catchy especially at 07.20! Thanks for sharing.

[DoctorGradus]

i liked your version of "doctor gradus ad parnassum" ,and i would also like to congratulate you for playing "the snow is dancing",perhaps the most demanding piece of this work..

[EmdrGreg]

Awesome, Lio! I really like your sound, and I love Debussy, too. Lio, check measures 11 and 19 of Golliwogg's Cake Walk. The melody line is A flat, F, E flat, C, and back to E flat. Instead of the last E flat you go to A flat. Other than that, it's superb!  Thanks, Lio.

[LAentertainment]

ok greg, maybe I'm too stupid lol but can't find it ^^'

[EmdrGreg]

Good morning, Lio. It's possible our editions are different. The 1st measure of the melody (measure 10) starts with an accented B flat. The 2nd measure of the melody (11) starts with an A flat. It's this 2nd measure that I'm looking at. You'll see it, unless we have different editions.

[LAentertainment]

hey greg, okay I think we do have different editions..

[EmdrGreg]

Interesting-- Maybe I'll send a photo of the material I'm talking about, or a brief video. I've never heard that section of melody quite the way you are playing it.

[theimprovisor]

I think EmdrGreg is right, last octave of measure 11 is an Eb, while you play an Ab.I don'think it's a matter of edition. Reading mistakes just happends :-). You can also listen to the piano roll of the Children's Corner played by Debussy himself.

[funauta]

Awesome! Are you studying at Conservatory? You are a great pianist.

[LAentertainment]

hehe thx, no Im going to study on a technichal highschool, music is just my hobby =)

[conancito]

awesome dude!

[Schogo]

it's wonderful...!(>^^)>*10/10*

[Racmajunior]

Very charming, and a lot of memories... 5*

[LAentertainment]

Sorry for that bugs/jolts (ruckeln) ..but hey well you know I played it myself ^^
