Debussy: Children's Corner - 5. The little shepherd (1906-1908)

[Pelguino111]

I´m trying to play this piece for a concert but it´s very stressful, even though I like it jeje XD

[Izzy1243]

It's the timing with this piece that's really catching me out... as usual :P

[Painkiller307]

I'm playing this at the moment and controlling the pp and ppp is difficult but the result is so beautiful.

[seamonkeysarereal]

I'm learning this piece & I thought it was gonna be difficult but it's actually fun!! :]

@Cruxispal

It's actually pretty easy to sight read compared to other contemporaries. But then again, all contemporaries are hard to read, so that doesn't say that much.

[AdamskiLawlerski]

@asdf1232132123 my version is probably going to sound exactly like this recording, timing and all, cos I have no idea how to grasp it otherwise :P

[Cruxispal]

this song like most contemporary is hard to sight read as hell.

[AdamskiLawlerski]

from the comments I'm absolutely DREADING learning this piece D:

[KoBerg04]

@AdamskiLawlerski Don't dread it. I learned this, and I didn't find it that difficult. The musicality is tricky, but the result is amazing.

[3334nightmare]

the song itself is not difficult but performing it with the right feeling is takes some time..

[amazingwave]

@3334nightmare Yes, that is exactly how I felt. You have to play it for a while to really get the perfect emotion out of it.

[candance999]

[peggychng]
