Debussy children's corner Golliwogg cakewalk

[BunnyLover210716]

@himypiedie I guess it's this one that has the crazy jumbled notes......

[MidoriNoLink]

0:37 you cheated man.

[TheZdephinio]

Nice harpsichord:)



[himypiedie]

Ugh. I hate Debussy. The songs don't make sense at all. It sounds to me like a jumble of notes put together.

[luciandryan]

@himypiedie You do not understand the beauty of Debussy, his is impressionist music. It can extend the boundaries of other limiting styles into real musical beauty.

[Tedsta101]

@himypiedie Have you heard 'Clair de Lune'?

[exia32]

@himypiedie Lol if you say that about Debussy then don´t ever hear Silvestre Revueltas o r the contemporaries

[Tepawox]

Nice work. But, if I see right, there is a mistake at bar #63 - #64: left hand plays Ab-Cb-Gb instead of Ab-Cb-F.

That false note hurts my ears :)

[Thegirlbling]

Theres sometimes more staccato and some musical notes are not correct, but I like your version very much and you play very good. :)

[linglonghead]

wht is the level of this song? coz my teacher want me learn this song. i can chose moonlight(debussy) or Mendelssohn song without words, but i dont think mendelssohn is my way...

[xinuyashaXROCKSx]

tee hee, I heard it when I was in 6th grade. And my older sis who is piano whiz had a Debussy (I pronounced it wrong foreverrrr, apparently it's Dey-buh-yoo-see......?) book.

Found this song. Three flats, then five flats. I was tryingggg to learn it. Very hard. I now understand the pains of piano for beginners. Very very well played!!!

[RafaellaSousa]

I've been trying to play that... It's fantasticly difficult hehehe I can't stand it! Looks like my hand won't do what i tell it to... Any hints or sugestions?

[pianoklavier]

Keep practicing? =P

[RafaellaSousa]

Yeah :) But still very difficult. I'll post it when I finish. :D

[looney1023]

i have a choice between learning this piece or chopin's grande waltz brilliante

any advice? like from difficulty and overall enjoyment?

[lePistolero]

rock and roll!

[RafaellaSousa]

Fantastic!! bRAvo!

[OtakuGirl001]

can I just ask, in bar 6 how do you play the bass in the left hand, coz the F and G clash and it doesn't sound nice. I'm just thinking perhaps theres a mistake in my score or I'm playing it wrong. Can anyone help?

Btw, nice playing, it's rare to find pianists on youtube with good technique.

[klavierfan]

the F and G is not a mistake, it's deliberately dissonant.

Give yourself some more confidence.

have fun playing the piece!

[GorbyGwapoh]

The video is bad but the sound is very jice..,.

5 stars..,.

[lazer58]

Lovely, I like your hands. Very well played.

[sk8graf16]

very well played indeed

[gnome667]

what an odd sort of piece. not in a bad way.

[Jpoole322]

kewl!! I luv this song!!!

[geigy]

Coming back to working on this piece after a year or so, and I find that your rendition is the clearest and best. Thanks so much.

And "add: anything you want - I personally love it.

[ragglefraggle09]

omg when i first strated this peice, i just followed the layout and the tempo, it took me months of expensive classes, and it was complete crap! i hated it and i thought it didnt resembel music!

-then-

i listen to this and im like..."sorry i doubted you, debussy!" XD

[ragglefraggle09]

when u play it fast and childish, and just for the purpose of fun its pretty good :D

[rubinsteinway]

In the score, the upper staff in measure 60 is empty. No notes should be played there.

[theimprovisor]

You are right. I realized I've heard the "phantom" notes from Michelangeli's recording, my ears have prevailed over my eyes in this case :-)

[rubinsteinway]

Michelangeli did that? In that case his career is finished. (I'll have to listen to his recording again...)

[theimprovisor]

I have 2 recordings by A.B.Michelangeli of this piece, one audio and the other video.He does it on both, plus, on the video recording, he "adds" something at measure 20 and 43.Many other great pianist's careers should have been finished if you base it on altering compositions...imho

[hotshot868]

hu is playing?

[dzuvia9]

Excellent!! I think you played the "cedez" sections a little too fast though.

Overall you played it well, thanks.

[Clydene]

Thank you this is one of my favorite pieces of music...my mother used to play it for me....

[jamesjack88]

HAHAHA! I was playing A natural and B flat in the cross-over section ^_^ Until now, I wondered how the heck I was going to play it. Just goes to show my sight-reading skills...

[slothlee]

Very nice! But i feel that the 'un peu moins vite' section could be lighter though.

[chuchuroo]

Thank you! I'm learning this, and it helped me a lot!

[pianistnh]

good!

very very good!

I have started to learn this piece two day ago and I thought I know the first page, but I thought It should be played faster, so thanks! =]

And again - It was realy good!

[Boboua]

very nicely done ^^

[bloodyx989]

lovely interpretation keep up the marvelous work .....i actually have nothing bad to say lol

[geigy]

Nice! Gotta try that thumb move too.

[yamahap80]

No wonder I hadn't seen this video, you just recently posted it. I echo malkyc10. I too am studying this piece and this is a big help. I would never have thought to use the left thumb for the crossover part Ab & Bb.

Thanks a lot.

[mlodapianistka]

very very nice! Thank you

[theimprovisor]

Glad to be useful ;-), thanks for your feedback.

[malkyc10]

Nicely done.

I'm learning this one and watching you has helped me a lot !!
