This song is so much easier to learn with sheets, Plus the sheets are free, you can find them in public domain. Also, this being a romantic piece, you can play it a tempo you feel is right. Because some of this was ridiculously fast, not difficulty wise, but if you want to enjoy the piece you should be playing it at a good speed instead of hyper speeding through it.
@evilbettie whaat, no waay... I tried but the sheets look like chinese texts, even when i know what every single character means. (ps: im not chinese^^)
aaww's, i learnt this song like 6 months ago, sometimes i play often, sometimes i dont play in whole month, and im forgetting all songs ive learnt.. but i must seriously just play once a week, i dont want to lose my piano playing skill :/ so now im learning the part 2:30 again. and i have laptop so its soooo much easier to learn now!
while my playing is excelling my understanding of sheet music is awful and holding me back, i am striving to improve it but this is SO very helpful for now, especially when it comes to some of the chords thanks alot
I dont know to much about grading on piano. I started played 6/7 months ago cuz i got my piano. I alredy can play (at 100% speed and no mistakes) about 6 songs:
moonlight sonata first mvnt
fur elise
struggle for pleasure
valse d amelie (piano version)
comptine d'un autre été (my favorite one)
le moulin
clocks
I have alredy started river flows in you, almost done, and now im starting this one, isnt too hard. Hardest one i have started are: Hungarian Rhapsody #2 , La Campanella (piano) best pieces
Today's Christmas Eve and I'm 12. My dad's favourite piece of music is Clair De Lune, so I am determined to actually learn the full song all through today. I am around grade 4 - 5 on piano (I don't like grading. I learn my own way.) and if I learn it by tommorow my dad will be so proud. I really hope I learn it or at least the start. I might have to shorten it if I don't have the time. Wish me luck and Merry Christmas!
@DropsterProductions WOW! My dad wants me to play it for him too! I'm 13 and i'm level 6-7ish. I learn my own way too(: good luck, even though Christmas was about 3 weeks ago. :D
@pyropinkmonkey12 I actually did it! Even the hard bits! And it was great because he started crying with happiness afterwards. He's really proud with me! Good luck to you as well and thank you!
this can be done, you need to use the pedal in parts though. when it looks like he hold down a key that far from the others then use the pedal so its sound as if you are holding it down, thats what i did and it is working for me. i have mastered everything up to 1:26.
Hey can anyone help me. I heard this song in the Film We are the night. And my question is where I can find this song. because I want it with singing. I think its a version from the 20's
This song isn't actually that hard. This tutorial just makes it seem like impossible. It just means lots of stretching your fingers :) and maybe a few octopus tentacles =)
FYI- I have never played piano before, and started with this song, after 1 year of goofing around with this video It tooke me 1 month to get to 2 minutes, and another month to pratice 2:00-2:06( ish).
Dont attempt if you get furstrated easly. ALSO THEY ARE NOT PRESSING THAT MANY KEYS, Those are the notes ringing out... Figure out the hand placements on your own after 1:59. Or watch a concert video on it. Its easier then you think
Saumier1 I want to know how your progress is. I still am learning peaces here and there.
@cynthia42096 At those parts where there is like 11 notes at the same time, you just play the lowest notes for a second and then they hold cause of the pedal, but you move your hand up
@itsCONTROVERSY Of course it is. You don't play them all at the same time and just need practice on the speed needed to move your fingers to play them all
Ah why i ever said it doesnt feel the same when playing myself. usually when i have practised ive played with headphones , But today i played without them.
Grr, this song is awsome. and btw, I can play WHOLE song now : o
i can play 0:01 to 3:21 atm. Cant believe i can handle this almost. But shame it doesnt just feel the same when playing it, than listening. Maybe i focus too much on playing :?
@Annrawwhhh I just wish that those people would've been curious enough to look Debussy up by themselves instead of hearing it in Twilight. To me, it's like if most people cry to this song because it's in Twilight. ... Yeah, maybe I'm being too subjective about all this.
i HATE that stupid sign, as i have small window on my recorder, i sometimes miss notes.. But duuuud! I've learned lots again! from 1:20 to 2:26, almost FULL speed! ;) only thing is still audio >.< recording atm to get more learnt of this song.
@Annrawwhhh ... Huh? Who cares about Twilight, this song is a masterpiece! It should have never been associated with that cash cow in the first place.
Screw the beginning, Too hard to look those notes, takes forever from small screen (phone lol)
I've learnt 1:52 to 2:12, But now im f'ed up. recorded with phone only to 2:12, And now my computers audio is broken :x This is awsome piece, I really recommend if u have trouble with beginning, learn atleast 1:52 ----> :)
and i must agree with Aberwitz88 this song can only be beatifully played if you have the sheetmusic with dynamics and stuff. And this isn't a song you just learn and play, you must feel it when you play it.
I have been playing the guitar by ear for 13 years. can play lots of high tech stuff, but knew nothing about what I play
Just got a Yamaha Grand and had my first lesson. My brain just wanted to jump into this piece. well , believe it or not, I learn't the section starting at 1:52 to 2:03 just by watching this. I can only do it at 25% speed but I have total confidence that I will be able to do the entire thing at 50% in 6 months
My teacher told me that this was grade 10, is this true?
@LouSophstar yep, your right, my teach yelled at me for even thinking about learning this piece. I'll try to learn it on my own but he can't know about it
@saumier1 it's grade 10 in RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) standards so if you can play it by ear at 25% speed, you're pretty good =) this is an amazing song, practi
@nightcutcom This piece is considered grade 10 because although it may sound like an easy piece to learn, it is actually quite a difficult piece to master because one truly needs to put feeling and emotion into playing the piece for it to sound beautiful.
@saumier1 yes, this is a grade 10 piece by RCM (Royal Conservatory of Music) standards so you're a pretty good musician, I'm beyond grade 10 now but I still play this piece in my spare time because it's such a wonderful piece, I fell in love with it the first time I played it. Practice it well, if nothing, this song will definitely wow your audience ^_^
@FalenXangel I don't think I'm a good musician, but mabe a really good noodler.
I just started playing piano. I really want to learn this peice. I'm taking it really slow because I don't want to butcher it, so if it takes me a year then that will be fine with me. I can play up to 1:52 full speed, but the arpeggios will take me a while, too many flats or in my words black keys!
@saumier1 the most important thing to know when learning this piece is patience, it is a piece which is difficult not only to learn, but to master. If you truly wish to play it with the emotion and feeling that was meant for it, you have to be patient and even take more than a year, I know it took me longer than 2 years to truly begin to play with the feeling and emotion that makes this piece sound beautiful. Work hard! Your efforts will be very rewarding!
I have never heard about grades. Most people I know of that are in grade ten are 15-16 years old, and I am not sure of them playing this piece of music.
Well i'm not sure what country your in but in the UK there is no Grade 10, it goes up to 8 then you start doing deploma's but it's pretty impressive that you picked up the piece at quarter speed that quickly IF it was one of your first times on a piano. I'd say this was an excellent piece to learn for an "advanced beginner" as the begining is relitively simple chords without using both hands at the same time too quickly, which i found difficult when i started.
@Paradox711 I'm in Victoria BC, Canada. I don't know to much about the grades either. Some poeple say it only goes up to grade 8, some people say grade 10. So I just forget about grades and play. My teacher left me because I alwayse do my own thing. Oh well, he plays for money and I play for myself. I can play full speed up to the arpeggios at 1:52, but it goes downhill from there. So it might take a bit longer to master this than I thought
@saumier1 wow.. thats more then twice my age. i wish i could play an instrument but i couldnt even if i tried. anyway, good luck on learning this piece :)
@saumier1 no such thing is grade 10, you mean performance level 10? that would be something totally impossible. Clair de lune would be about performance level 1.
This piece cannot be learnt by such visual without practice step by step, reading a score is required, however i'm very weak on sight reading.
trust me, I learnt many pieces by ear, but this one is a master piece, which cannot be heard easily.
I have been playing the guitar by ear for 13 years. can play lots of high tech stuff, but knew nothing about what I play
Just got a Yamaha Grand and had my first lesson. My brain just wanted to jump into this piece. well , believe it or not, I learn't the section starting at 1:52 to 2:03 just by watching this. I can only do it at 25% speed but I have total confidence that I will be able to do the entire thing at 50% in 6 months
The idea is that the pedal holds the sound. I thought this tutorial was a horrible example of this piece. The timing is awry at the "rubato" section of the piece and at the poco mosso section, the broken chords are split between the left and right hands to promote speed and clarity. Learn this piece from somewhere else.
OMG are you serious, at first I thought OK I'm gonna try this, but then half way I was like, how big should my hands be!! or is it played with four hands??
lol no you don't need 20 fingers, I play it and yes it is challenging but once you get it it just flows and it's amazing playing it. HINT: it took me 3 month to finish it working 4 hours a day 3 to 4 times a week :) GL all
@Strudelika Aww i remember reading this ages ago and agreeing, i realised a few weeks ago that you're apparently just supposed to use the pedal on the bits which seem like extra hands are needed.. i can actually play it [well at half speed] - have you tried Hugh Sungs videos... he goes through the measures step by step, its great if you're a beginner ad need help with finger placement
@Strudelika That's true that 14 fingers would sometimes be needed, but actually you just have to play 2 or 4 thingies and then use the pedal to play the others ;)
[dunno if I'm clear, sorry English is not my mother tongue .. ]
Ohohohoh play it and see if you want to say that... I'm not even at the ridiculous part yet and I've practiced this for at least 15 hours since 2 days ago when I started. I'm pretty sure I will never be able to play this piece even if I spend years on it...
i feel like a genius now that i can play itt

If you truly wish to play it with the emotion and feeling that was meant for it, you have to be patient and even take more than a year, I know it took me longer than 2 years to truly begin to play with the feeling and emotion that makes this piece sound beautiful. Work hard! Your efforts will be very rewarding!

Grade ten?
I have never heard about grades. Most people I know of that are in grade ten are 15-16 years old, and I am not sure of them playing this piece of music.
But this is definately for advanced players.

Well i'm not sure what country your in but in the UK there is no Grade 10, it goes up to 8 then you start doing deploma's but it's pretty impressive that you picked up the piece at quarter speed that quickly IF it was one of your first times on a piano. I'd say this was an excellent piece to learn for an "advanced beginner" as the begining is relitively simple chords without using both hands at the same time too quickly, which i found difficult when i started.
Nice piano to learn on, Gdluck :)

@Paradox711 I'm in Victoria BC, Canada. I don't know to much about the grades either. Some poeple say it only goes up to grade 8, some people say grade 10. So I just forget about grades and play. My teacher left me because I alwayse do my own thing. Oh well, he plays for money and I play for myself. I can play full speed up to the arpeggios at 1:52, but it goes downhill from there. So it might take a bit longer to master this than I thought

@saumier1 music exams only go up to grade 8 lovey! xx

@saumier1 no such thing is grade 10, you mean performance level 10? that would be something totally impossible. Clair de lune would be about performance level 1.
This piece cannot be learnt by such visual without practice step by step, reading a score is required, however i'm very weak on sight reading.
trust me, I learnt many pieces by ear, but this one is a master piece, which cannot be heard easily.

@saumier1 not that grades are all that important but i believe it to be a grade 7 examined piece

I have been playing the guitar by ear for 13 years. can play lots of high tech stuff, but knew nothing about what I play
Just got a Yamaha Grand and had my first lesson. My brain just wanted to jump into this piece. well , believe it or not, I learn't the section starting at 1:52 to 2:03 just by watching this. I can only do it at 25% speed but I have total confidence that I will be able to do the entire thing at 50% in 6 months

The idea is that the pedal holds the sound. I thought this tutorial was a horrible example of this piece. The timing is awry at the "rubato" section of the piece and at the poco mosso section, the broken chords are split between the left and right hands to promote speed and clarity. Learn this piece from somewhere else.

lol no you don't need 20 fingers, I play it and yes it is challenging but once you get it it just flows and it's amazing playing it. HINT: it took me 3 month to finish it working 4 hours a day 3 to 4 times a week :) GL all

You just need a sustain pedal on your piano. Then you only need eight fingers and two thumbs :D

xthexrealxsupermanx 1 year ago
@Strudelika Aww i remember reading this ages ago and agreeing, i realised a few weeks ago that you're apparently just supposed to use the pedal on the bits which seem like extra hands are needed.. i can actually play it [well at half speed] - have you tried Hugh Sungs videos... he goes through the measures step by step, its great if you're a beginner ad need help with finger placement

@Strudelika That's true that 14 fingers would sometimes be needed, but actually you just have to play 2 or 4 thingies and then use the pedal to play the others ;)
