  • Some nocturne! Wild stuff. MY favorite part is the parade part starts at 2:45 sounds like a parade arriving from the distance, is right in front of you...and then fades into the distance. What amazing dynamics. Great genius.

  • the term "nocturnes" was used by Debussy because he based this piece and its individual movements on a series of paintings by a symbolist painter. These pieces are not "nocturnes" in the sense of form or style at all...

  • @Dizzylizzy201 Principal composers of nocturnes

    John Field: 18 for solo piano

    Frédéric Chopin: 21 for solo piano - Nocturnes (Chopin)

    Robert Schumann: 4 Nachtstücke

    Franz Liszt: 1 for solo piano entitled En reve ("In a dream" or "While dreaming")

    Ignace Leybach: now known only for his "Fifth Nocturne"

    Gabriel Fauré: 13 for solo piano

    Claude Debussy: 3 for orchestra and choir, one for solo piano

  • `What orchestra? They do a nice job - they deserve a little recognition!

  • @hetna26 Well you clearly have no taste in music.

  • In response to uploader's comments on the jolly nocturne:

    The title Nocturnes is to be interpreted here in a general and, more particularly, ina decorative sense. Therefore it is not meant to designate the usual form of the nocturne ... ... Fetes gives us the vibrating atmosphere with sudden flashes of light. (quoted: Lockspeiser 189, what Debussy himself wrote about his nocturnes)

    Also, Fetes translates to festival in english. Thus, the jolliness. ;D

  • i love this piece... which orchestra plays this?

  • Im in love with debussy<3<3<3

  • @shoshka92 why are there three dicks following eachother in your comment?

  • This is my favorite of the nocturnes...especially from 2:50. I like the subtelty :D

  • LOL schlesmail

  • haha great piece! i love it! debussy is definitely one of my favourite composers!

  • Thanks for posting, but... it's not "Festivals" but "Fêtes" ! :)

  • Well, technically it's still right because that's what 'Fêtes' translates to in English, so it's really a matter of preference.

    In other news, thanks for posting this! =D

  • This is a great piece-especially the middle!With the march

  • Middlemarch--isn't that a novel by George Eliot?
