Strange how people talk and talk about music when it should be so simple to listen...Simply listen and feel ! especially when there are no words to express such a beauty !
@helene8070 Strange how analyzing the music will help the techniques represented in it alive. A simple listener couldn't understand the nostalgia and technique it takes to composed something so fluidly edited and meticulously designed as this, all they can do is listen.
@emlmm88 you are right emimm88... But can the feelings and the soul be analyzed ?that's what I wanted to express. I just mean that we are not computers..! most of time we can't explain the reasons of our feelings because there is no reason to feel this or that... This is why most of people "feel" and don't "analyze"... because loving something is such a personnal matter.. Sorry for my poor english....!
@helene8070 You can explain feelings as they are a series of chemical imbalances that occur in our very brains caused by a number of different factors. I guess I just fight the age where people are starting to listen less to logic as our intellectualism slowly fades and are more only able to appreciate things in an unchanging state of the subconscious, which while important, shouldn't be a factor of the other skill being lost. I just wish people still had the patience to analyse and feel.
@emlmm88 great answer ! what school of thought are you ? Freud ? Jung ? I am joking ! but you are right to say that people should be more patient ! you analyze a lot .. you are a man I guess ! I am a woman and I "feel" more ! This being said, I agree that people should "think" a little bit more and not accept everything that makes them more and more "robotized"No place in this world for patience, silence, slowness.. But some are listening to DEBUSSY..This comforts me ! have a good day emimm88
@helene8070 Don't stereotype yourself into any category. I have clearly seen your ability with words and it's that of high reasoning capacity and I wasn't at all judging you. There however, is a clear and definite difference between choosing to see things through feeling and not having the ability to have logical thought. You being the former. I am however impressed with you'r well achieved introspection, even if in my mind unfounded. Either way we see things however,

I used to hear an excerpt of this piece when an astrologer came on with his short program on PBS, his program was all about stargazing, planets, things like that. He's gone now, but I always remember that short little program using this song, I think it aired after red green.
@MrNEStalgia Yes I remember that. It was called Stargazers. The "astronomer" was Jack Horkheimer. Unfortunately he passed away in 2010 but his legacy lives on in the form of another program on PBS.
@TheNotMexican Technically it is. There is two meanings of classical music: The gerne and the movement. The genre encompasses all music of this genre even music today. The movement only lasted a certain period of time.
I so much adore this piece of Debussy, that I hear the last part of this song many times when I daydream and last few nights even in my dreams, I'll never forget it until I die.
I don't really like this piece. I get more frustrated each time I listen to it. I hear the faint echoes of ignorant geriatrics telling me how beautiful it is. Yes, it's beautiful. It also sounds like an ad for Dove soap. Also, using the Aeolian mode: not original.
@alexandergreenb I'm studying music in school and this is the very attitude that I find in so many of my peers, I hate it. I feel bad for you that your musical ear has become so critical that you can't enjoy a simple, pretty melody like this one. I find it offensive that you called me an ignorant geriatric for loving this song, I've liked it since I was little, long before I ever studied music. Just because someone can find beauty in something that you cannot does not make them ignorant.
@cLeeen10 I think people who can love simple music are the lucky ones, they don't listen to criticize but to enjoy, and I believe that is the sole purpose of music; to enjoy. People get so caught up and so high on their horse because they know so much about music that they start to hate everything they hear. I never want to be like that.
@cLeeen10 I don't hate all Debussy, and I'm perhaps not as critical as you might think, but this piece irks me in a very personal way. But yes, I do hate beauty for its own sake. That's why I tend to hate impressionism in general. Sugar makes a good addition to coffee, not a good substitute for it.
@ciupenhauer If you have any talent, you will be able to get really good if you start now and put a lot of effort in. You might not be the next Horowitz but that's ok.

Does anyone know the pianist that plays the Debussy pieces on DesAbends channel? If so, please e-mail me (maximiliano_moro@hotmail.com)... I've been searching for so long and can't find him/her!
@Godsman311291 i agree with everything on this comment except number one. you don't need lyrics for it to be a song. all music is music. you should enjoy it all even with no lyrics.......
@conversefreak1000 Actually...yes you do need lyrics for it to be a song. Definition of a song = Vocal music, AKA singing, and therefore lyrics. This is a piece of music, not a song.
@nezvanova (I'll assume you're being serious) That's called artistic liberty with a name. "Without Words" would be redundant if a song wasn't meant to have words.
I do not like this interpretation. It does not capture the piece as a whole but instead overly and unnecessarily focuses on small parts at a time, creating inappropriate dynamics and phrasings.
okay, the guy i responded to said hes only been playing piano for 3 days. i understand that if you play piano for 10 years then try to play this, then 3 days may be possible. i mean, seriously, you cant learn how to play this song before you know what a C scale is. "you can play this without experience if you believe so in you're heart".....really?
the thing is people play this song so differently. I really wan't to know just how he imagined it. It says he was very argumentative and I guess that would mean he was a bit of a trouble maker so it would be the world to hear him play this but sadly no one can.
i've started practising this 10 weeks ago and try to play it everyday. finally when i thought i've grasped it without any mistakes i listened to this. and i realised that i'm no where near done with it because my version is completely emotionless compared to this one!
I play it and it is for me a beautiful way to forget all the stress of life.. its such a comforting feeling.. like waterfalls under the fingers. I love Debussy..
Can anyone tell me the chords that make up 2:13 - 2:17, I CANNOT figure them out, it is so frustrating!!!!! I have been on that single part for nearly three weeks! Oh and, thanks for all of the comments, some leave a nasty taste, but we all need a bit of criticism. I wish I had something to make a video with so I could show you all my progress and get some feedback on areas of improvement * which btw is pretty much all of them* :D .
I'm not sure exactly where you get confused but looking at the score, I think it goes F sharp major, A-Major9, then Esus4 with the A dropping to Gsharp
btw the score is public domain you can get it off imslp.org
Can't say I dislike, but I find this interpretation a little clunky, disjointed, even stoic for a composition that can be far more joyous, gracious even.
I have just began to play the piano. the first song that I picked to learn how to play is this, and things are going well. I have been playing for three days and can play smoothly up to about 1:30 on this video. i started playing because of Debussy's talent with this instrument. Just the listening enjoyment alone was enough to interest me enough to start playing. I am trying to learn by ear, and have done well so far. Wish me luck.
@Godsman311291 youve been playing for only 3 days and you think you can play this? lol this song is not something you learn in a few days. your left and right hand play at such awkwardly different speeds.
@SGKoyama if people has the feeling asn wish he can do anything just need to know how fell that and express the feeling ... LIFE gives everything you need just need to know how to use it
@SGKoyama Yes, this is such a beautiful piece of music and so difficult to play, I can't say |I've really mastered it, however \i do love to hear it played well.
@SGKoyama I don't think he ever said he was trying to learn the song in a few days. Plus, you have to keep in mind, people have varying levels of musical inclination. I don't claim to play the piano, but I taught myself Turkish March (both hands) by ear when I was 8... not a very difficult song, but you catch my drift. I think everyone should be encouraged to pursue music, no matter their age or experience. And you have to admit, this is one beautiful song to try to learn.
@SGKoyama I think that if he has the will to learn this song he will be able to play it. Personally when I started playing piano, the second day I was taught Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven and Nocturne by Chopin and I played them perfectly in a couple of weeks. Even though Debussy is veeeery complicated to learn and play, I believe anyone can make it if they want to, even if they're beginners :) just my opinion!
@SGKoyama If you want to be really technical about things, this is not a song, there's no singing. Further more, the right and left hand play at the same speed, the term you are looking for is poly-rhythmic, which means the right hand plays note values at different rhythms (triplets in this case), and the left plays quadruplets. Speed refers to tempo, not rhythm.
@Godsman311291 honestly. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but this is quite an advanced piece. Many people who have played for years can't manage to play this right so quickly. I've played for 11years and I'm only moving at a moderate speed learning it. There is no way you can get the emotion, quality and control needed for this piece as a beginner, unless your like a piano prodigy which i highly doubt. Start with something easier. You'll get to complicated stuff soon enough.
@Godsman311291 I find it very very hard to beleive you can play this having just started playing the piano. Even a very experienced pianist would take alot longer than 3 days to play this piece smoothly. But if you are telling the truth, which I very much doubt, then my god you must be some pianist!!
@Godsman311291 I first learned how to play the piano by ear. However, I was cheating myself. If you have this honest raw talent then think of how much further you can grow when you are classically trained. I think too many people try to "cheat" their way through. Don't rob yourself of your full potentiality!!! It is when you combine your talent, head knowledge, discipline, finger training/strengthening and your gift of ear...only then can you REALLY play this piece. Good Luck!
@Godsman311291 If you can learn this by ear, after playing piano for just a few days and without any ability to read music, I'll be mightily impressed. I don't think that's the optimum way to learn this particular piece but if it's getting results then give it a try. Whatever works for you. Maybe you'll make a recording of it so we can hear it? I'd be genuinely curious. It's such a beautiful piece that even if you're not playing it "perfectly" it'd still be worth hearing. Best of luck with it.
@Godsman311291 : How cool are you for taking on the task to learn this piece. It's seriously mood-changing. i did this with moonlight sonata. I can finally play it from memory. I suggest that once you get it down...turn out the lights and play it at night...it's amazing!! Congrats!
@Godsman311291 You're a pretentious douche, who can't possibly have learned to play this by ear in only 3 days of playing the instrument. I think Debussy gave himself a LITTLE more time than that, fool.
I walked down the aisle to this peice at my wedding. It was perfect for our outdoor ceremony. It went well with the light breeze that was blowing in off the lake!

I have just began to play the piano. the first song that I picked to learn how to play is this, and things are going well. I have been playing for three days and can play smoothly up to about 1:30 on this video. i started playing because of Debussy's talent with this instrument. Just the listening enjoyment alone was enough to interest me enough to start playing. I am trying to learn by ear, and have done well so far. Wish me luck.

Playing this song by ear without any prior piano lesson? You must have great musical talent. So how is the piano playing of this piece so far?

@Godsman311291 youve been playing for only 3 days and you think you can play this? lol this song is not something you learn in a few days. your left and right hand play at such awkwardly different speeds.

@SGKoyama I don't think he ever said he was trying to learn the song in a few days. Plus, you have to keep in mind, people have varying levels of musical inclination. I don't claim to play the piano, but I taught myself Turkish March (both hands) by ear when I was 8... not a very difficult song, but you catch my drift. I think everyone should be encouraged to pursue music, no matter their age or experience. And you have to admit, this is one beautiful song to try to learn.

@SGKoyama I think that if he has the will to learn this song he will be able to play it. Personally when I started playing piano, the second day I was taught Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven and Nocturne by Chopin and I played them perfectly in a couple of weeks. Even though Debussy is veeeery complicated to learn and play, I believe anyone can make it if they want to, even if they're beginners :) just my opinion!

@SGKoyama If you want to be really technical about things, this is not a song, there's no singing. Further more, the right and left hand play at the same speed, the term you are looking for is poly-rhythmic, which means the right hand plays note values at different rhythms (triplets in this case), and the left plays quadruplets. Speed refers to tempo, not rhythm.

@Godsman311291 honestly. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but this is quite an advanced piece. Many people who have played for years can't manage to play this right so quickly. I've played for 11years and I'm only moving at a moderate speed learning it. There is no way you can get the emotion, quality and control needed for this piece as a beginner, unless your like a piano prodigy which i highly doubt. Start with something easier. You'll get to complicated stuff soon enough.

@Godsman311291 I find it very very hard to beleive you can play this having just started playing the piano. Even a very experienced pianist would take alot longer than 3 days to play this piece smoothly. But if you are telling the truth, which I very much doubt, then my god you must be some pianist!!
MrTomt1990 3 months ago
@Godsman311291 I first learned how to play the piano by ear. However, I was cheating myself. If you have this honest raw talent then think of how much further you can grow when you are classically trained. I think too many people try to "cheat" their way through. Don't rob yourself of your full potentiality!!! It is when you combine your talent, head knowledge, discipline, finger training/strengthening and your gift of ear...only then can you REALLY play this piece. Good Luck!

@Godsman311291 If you can learn this by ear, after playing piano for just a few days and without any ability to read music, I'll be mightily impressed. I don't think that's the optimum way to learn this particular piece but if it's getting results then give it a try. Whatever works for you. Maybe you'll make a recording of it so we can hear it? I'd be genuinely curious. It's such a beautiful piece that even if you're not playing it "perfectly" it'd still be worth hearing. Best of luck with it.

@Godsman311291 : How cool are you for taking on the task to learn this piece. It's seriously mood-changing. i did this with moonlight sonata. I can finally play it from memory. I suggest that once you get it down...turn out the lights and play it at night...it's amazing!! Congrats!

@Godsman311291 You're a pretentious douche, who can't possibly have learned to play this by ear in only 3 days of playing the instrument. I think Debussy gave himself a LITTLE more time than that, fool.
