@titusbeertsen avoid any technique connotative of the word drill. RELAXED HANDS allows fast playing. Roll your wrists, this shifts the centre of gravity of your hand over the keys you are playing. The force pressing down on the keys comes from your hand, NOT the muscles in your fingers; fingers act as a suspension system controlling how much of that weight is applied.
Sometimes, Debussy sounds almost like American jazz, not quite but similar. I love the impressionists so much. Love Michelangeli and these old videos too.
@alscai You know, I don't mean to bash here but according to wiki (yeah I know) it says he hated being categorized as an impressionist. I don't remember why but it's in the description somewhere there.
@maxh0725 "I am trying to do 'something different'- in a way realities- what the imbeciles call `impressionism' is a term which is as poorly used as possible, particularly by art critics," his words exactly. How disappointing.
One of you two gentlemen is more manly, has a longer penis and a stronger intellect, as well as a better sense of humor and a noble visage. I need to know which one of you should easily get the finer things in life and seem to be everywhere and do everything, and which one should content himself with pumping gas for his betters, and masturbation.
I would also like clarification on the subject of which one of you should be paid attention to, which one should be busy having the iconic experiences and setting the pace of history and popular culture, while the other only catches sporadic glimpses of that carefree and elevated narrative becuase he's so busy dealing with the chaos, petty drama, and oppressive dullness of his everyday life.
il punto di riferimento per tutti i pianisti che dovranno interpretare questo brano e si troveranno questa montagna impossibile da superare a meno che non nasca un altro genio di questo livello ,ai posteri................
I actually think that Satie's "phonometric" ways stifled his talent. Don't get me wrong, I love his work, especially the gymnopedies, but I also understand why you'd think his music could not keep up with Debussy's.
Both Debussy and his mentor Satie disliked being called "impressionist", in their own day. Satie billed himself as a "phonometrician" (meaning "someone who measures sounds")
I believe, from a century's distance, and no witness, that Debussy was by far the stronger performer, and works from either demand subtleties beyond master's level to fully present the gossamer beauty suggested in even their middle works.
Arturo Michelangeli plays fantastically beautiful!!!!! I wish that he also played Jeux d'eau by Ravel!!!!!!!!!!!! He could probably have smashed in beauty both Georges Cziffra, Sviatoslav Richter and Martha Argerich's superb versions..... lol
@NoGee06 Apologies, I was probably being rather defensive. I just think that Michelangeli's version of this is probably the most perfect, beautiful thing I've ever heard. I understand he seems anal, overly precise and cold to some (I don't much like his Chopin compared to Richter's really), but his restraint up until the end when he lets everything go is explosive... God, did I say that pretentious load of b'lava?
There's something going on beneath the notes I don't think people pick upon.
JAZZY right? i keep hearing that in music from this time period, it's like jazz naturally followed musicians who were already bending the rigid rules of melody and harmony in classical...
Michelangeli plays everything without preciosity... certainly not dry or stiff - he just rolls it out - this is his approach to Chopin, too - refreshing. Uchida, the Mozart specialist, tried her hand at Debussy's Etudes (I don't believe Michelangeli recorded those, but I wish he had) - sounded like a butterfly was playing the piano - all was lost!
@Steinwaytoday it was a rhetorical question, and it does and it doesn't....it's irrelevant, because Claude-Achille isn't around to tell us.....it's a beautiful performance, I just wish i could sit down with C.A. and have him listen to this performance and see what he thought. I have heard Debussy play on one recording, "Golliwog's Cakewalk", and it's interesting to hear how his playing of it differs from subsequent interpretations. So..to answer your question: yes and no.
What a beautifully clean and unfussy performance. Michelangeli was the best of artisits - just letting the music speak for itself and not getting in the way.
Quedaría por escuchar la Obra completa de Debussy interpretada por Jean Boguet, solista, profesor de la Escuela Normal de Música de París, especialista en Debussy y en Roussel. Quizás, después de su audición cambiarían algunas formas de pensar y - sobre todo - de escuchar e interpretar a Debussy... siempre que no se quiera permanecer en lo "políticamente correcto" en música.

@hymnofashes Grasshopper, the correct spelling is ILLITERATE with the vowel E in the third syllable after the consonant T in the second. I played once with John Lee Hooker who was illiterate but man did he kick arse.

@TheDeusmechs Such a dichotomist as yourself cannot see beyond two opposing terms. In this case it is either literate or illiterate. By the way, I'm the one getting the likes on my comment and not you, beyotch. Troll my way.
dichotomist, perfectionist, racist, chauvinist--the likes of you thrive on simple platitudes like these, which is always the sign of a simple mind, not that we needed to go this far though. "Beyotch", yeah, let me count the ways in which I can say 'idiot'.
Now, do yourself a favor and teleport yourself to an education because, evidently, votes on youtube don't make you smarter.
@TheDeusmechs Did I say they make me smarter? Apparently your not smart enough to realize that being smart isn't the acme of excellence in life. It makes things easier, but it is only a part of life. With what you have shown me, I can safely conclude you're smarter than me. However, the dedication you invest in insulting me also shows how little a life you have, but that doesn't matter to me either, since whatever life you have I have less of. So if you think I can out-troll me, you're mistaken.
I came back just to point out that while you level the charge of 'no-lifer' at me, typical in this situation, for taking offense at the vulgarity of your comment and pointing out its imbecility with my own posts you then simultaneously challenge me to a troll-out and also indicate that I am already defeated. Yet didn't the point of the no-lifer charge rely on the belief that I was taking things 'too seriously'? Yeah, those votes really mean something!
@TheDeusmechs You are serious enough if you replied just to point out the obvious. Also, I like to challenge people in the hopes of winning, which is why I state that you are defeated as I challenge you. This should explain things further for a slow-minded commenter such as yourself. Please, let me know what you think those votes mean, so I can correct you or stand corrected. I would also like to apologize to @mcmike100 since the poor commenter got caught in the cross-fire of our epic battle.
@TheDeusmechs I must admit my change in position when it comes to this discussion. It's been a long time and now that I have revisited this masterpiece, I realize how out of place I was. Through much pondering, I have come to consider notions that lead me to believe that neither happiness nor love is the answer. Love is a currency and happiness a result of it. Truly, it is intellect that leads to the better things in life, which I do not abundantly possess. I do apologize for the inconvenience.
@GianniBarbarona: What is your reasoning behind saying that this performance is without feeling? It is actually very expressive and technically tight. Those two can go together, unfortunately it doesn't happen often with plenty of players.
Really? This is not a bad thing, but, I always thought it had a sort of odd dijointed sound about it. Lovely really. It's one of those songs I'd put in my soundtrack for my life.
absolutely beautiful. Michelangeli is INCREDIBLE. I am playing this in a performance tomorrow, hadn't listened to this amazing video in a while and thought I would, almost wish I hadn't because my performance of this piece doesnt even compare. In my head, even Debussy couldn't play this piece better though! Anyway, I will just have to put in a lotttt of practice today and do my best!!
Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli is considered the best pianist of ever. And he is. About the question of "thepolonaise", Yes, I consider Debussy impressionistic. Of course. If we didn't know the tilte of this piece, we surely would have imagined reflections in the water...
@jamesjonesrocket - At the very least, his/her punctuation is correct. (haha)
And this music is simply timeless. Its beauty will simply be transcribed through time, interpreted by each generation in its own way. It shall always be relevant. This is true music.
@hallidio I'm sure you're a perfectly nice person but you sound like a real stuck up prick, so please don't send me any more messages. That ok? thanks, now fuck off.
its rhetorical. Sure, it may lack in a particularly "English" sense of flourish, but it has its own kind of street poetry. Rap is its own verse...rescue the black under-class from poverty and watch the growth of the English language into an entirely new direction. Classical English is no more---the world demands its own versions...and so it goes..
How beautiful!

What a wonderful pianist he was. Playing Debussy and Ravel so flawlessly, you can tell 20th century music was for him...

absolutely beautiful. Michelangeli is INCREDIBLE. I am playing this in a performance tomorrow, hadn't listened to this amazing video in a while and thought I would, almost wish I hadn't because my performance of this piece doesnt even compare. In my head, even Debussy couldn't play this piece better though! Anyway, I will just have to put in a lotttt of practice today and do my best!!

Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli is considered the best pianist of ever. And he is. About the question of "thepolonaise", Yes, I consider Debussy impressionistic. Of course. If we didn't know the tilte of this piece, we surely would have imagined reflections in the water...

@jamesjonesrocket - At the very least, his/her punctuation is correct. (haha)
And this music is simply timeless. Its beauty will simply be transcribed through time, interpreted by each generation in its own way. It shall always be relevant. This is true music.

And i ask you, in what esteem would Chaucer hold of todays English?
Trust a piano piece to draw in the grammar police.

This coming from the mouth that bought spelling up, ironic for me to be the stuck up "prick".

its rhetorical. Sure, it may lack in a particularly "English" sense of flourish, but it has its own kind of street poetry. Rap is its own verse...rescue the black under-class from poverty and watch the growth of the English language into an entirely new direction. Classical English is no more---the world demands its own versions...and so it goes..
