Claude Debussy Arabesque No1

[theodora2005]

best interpretation. most of the youtube oens are too slow....

[MrFelicityLove]

dude, you destroyed this arabesques, IT'S JUST TOO FAST. debussy composed colours and waterfalls, not fast thempo peaces.. it just looses its all charm and beauty. it should seduce you, that you can't stop listening to it. now you were just like oh i can play fast, look at me bitches i can play fast.

but i have to say, you play amazing

[grantyboy1007]

this is simply superb

[dippyselma]

I think you played it just a little too fast especially at the part where there is two against three in the beginning. You started out just fine and sped up way too much

Other than that it was really god

[PoirePerry]

come in......come in to my life...I've got to know know know you.....You really how to make music....people like myself know how to play....but you....you make music for us to play.....thank you...

[SztuNelly]

it's hard to play this piece :)

[amyleeluvr]

AWESOME!! This is the actual speed that Debussy intended it to be. Nice playing and nice expression through your playing. Debussy would be proud.

[diomaidendays]

La perfección musical evidencia la existencia de Dios, el orden y la belleza proceden de el y son muestra del amor con el que fuimos creados - Musical perfection is a proof of God existence, the order and the beauty comes from him and shows the love when he creates us.

[remnant1978]

the dude's talented...wonder the age and origin of this piece...All inspiration comes from God..because after hearing I simply acknowledge that just as intricate and complex and beautiful as an eye, or a flower, or a galaxy or a hummingbird, so the notes which number in the thousands for this song, are arranged and structured beautifully! makes me cry HOW GREAT THOU ART!!!....No wonder the birds get up early to sing praises unto this unseen one, who rules supreme... Who is like unto him?

[daveren]

Whoa very nice! Just starting this piece now.

Say, how old are you and how long have you been playing this piece?

[malino1995]

i play this piece too :)

im only 14 years old and it took me half a year to play it perfect.

this guy is realy talented because it sounds just like how debussy wanted it to be =D

[lofis]

awesome pianist

[libetta]

that's the thinnest bench i've ever seen

[garbanzo55]

what a rock star

[RickyRyoh]

I thought so too

[JulieMadeInBelgium]

Bart, doe dat goed éh up Vlamo-wedstrijd! Je zal het kunnen!!!! Jules x

[chousepiano]

i play this song. The skill needed for it is not that hard. It is mainly n emotion for the song

[jbwooten89]

THIS is the tempo I love to hear, especially in the beginning. WONDERFUL.

[compulsoryregistratn]

one of the best overall treatments of the song I've been able to find on youtube

[392023001]

this piece is actually for grade 10 piano!

[EscargoTouChaud]

Lovely. What beautiful music and good pianist!

[aLeCuca]

Perfect! i love your style.

[niezapominajka90]

very good:) please listen me and comment- i play arabesque too:)

[simcity92]

Afferim sana! cok güzel'di. :D

[pangtong223]

I personally prefer a slower tempo, but I love your interpretation. This piece is all about the person's own emotion and passion when they play it.

[CupNoodles]

There's a reason it says "Tempo Rubato" in the piece.

[furelise454]

çok güzel... keşke ben de böyle çalabilsem :)

[hiloboy3450]

What a nice performance by this young musician. His intereptation of Deux Arabesque

was excellent plus his tempo was spot on! Would like to see more of videos, too.

[sc199701]

BOO!

jk.

[somedudeplayingpiano]

that's the debussy sound, very well done, not too fast, or to slow.

[romymistique]

tremendous! bravo! how I wish to learn that song someday..!!

[singingmuse]

I think it's perfect.

[Lypur]

The tempo was just great, don't worry about people saying you played it too fast. It was wonderful, you had superb expression. You played it at the correct tempo. I don't understand why so many people think this is a slow piece? The MIDDLE section is slow, the rest is flowing and quite quick. I think too many people have seen amateurs trying to attempt this song, and they can't play the polyrhthm up to tempo so they play the whole thing slow and call it playing emotional.

Bravo!

[barbaryfair]

@Lypur Even if it's easier to play at a slower tempo, to me it sounds much better that way. Personal preference I guess, but I'm impressed much more when the notes flow like slow raindrops and I can soak 'em all in.

[peeko2000]

beautiful

[sureakam]

??? if debussy is what you call him, how could you also say this is an awesome song?

[z0rxx]

...because I like it for different reasons than he composed it for?

And a lot of people might like a Britney Spears song but hate her guts.

[lilmissunshine1004]

You are really good!

I'm currently learning this piece right now!

[hugetree0]

glad to see that you enjoyed it alot!

[walamob]

awsome job..

[perfectdevyil]

you're really good, but wwaaaayyy too fast for my taste

[WoundedKite]

I would certainly agree, as technically good as he is...

[ray0kun]

perfect tempo

[pgriffi]

At what location was this particular recital performed? The size and shape of the stage, the Steinway piano, and the wood planked floor all remind me of a small chapel located on the campus of a private baptist college located in Cleveland, Georgia called Truett-McConnell (College). TMC specializes in musical training, and was the first place I ever heard Claude Debussy's "Araberque No.1" many years ago. I was just curious if that was indeed the same stage in Sewell-Plunkett Chapel.

[mordent17]

What an excellent interpretation...You are a really good player!

This piece is so magical, like nostalgic, dreamy, and loving at the same time.

[ThePiano1991]

All Debussy is magical and dreamy! I love it so much!

[Dudeclouds]

I play this song! :)

[sunnibunni3]

I love this song! Mostly all Debusy songs are awesome. Arabesque is one of my favorite!

[ygtcan]
