Debussy Valse Romantique

[spyvideo9]

i simply love this!!! This is almost irreproachable1

[ImpressionismFTW]

I can not, in words, or even in some kind of intelligent motion or thought, describe the feeling that all of Debussy's music creates in me. There is simply no created word that can be thought or uttered aloud in any language that I know of that describes the internal "thing" that happens when I listen to his (Debussy's) music.

[TheDusk44]

problem?

[TheDusk44]

everybody listen to this song FEELING LIKE A SIR

[HatefulDesigns]

The painting is marvelous; Where could I observe or obtain a similar picture? I'd love to have it as my background.

[Misslotusification]

@HatefulDesigns check out pointillisme (Seurat), Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh...

[FlyingGunShip]

This was written by Debussy before the development of his unique impressionist style, and is closer to romantic-era music style. Just thought that I might want to mention it.

Love the Piece.

[naranjalable]

Top comment: "no description available" you won´t ever say it better :)

[ManosOceano]

Women? What is going on in the USA? Does anyone care?

[bobbyearl60]

unlike one of the top comments ,its not my little hands but my little brain that can't reach the complexities....seriously I love many different types of music but Debussy moves me like little else.

[siobhanmckoy]

My soul dances along with every note

[whitechocolateex]

I'm not keen on Debussy's later works, but this piece drives me to tears it's so beautiful. sadly i was never satisfied with how i played it :(

[maartenv230292]

I'm drunk and I love this

[mkmason2002]

@maartenv230292 I'm sober and I love this. I guess it's love either way. : )

[backspacesquare]

@maartenv230292 im high and i lo.. wait what?

[slinkiesarefun]

@WitchCraft129 I was referring to the song haha :P

[purestr99109]

@slinkiesarefun and he was referring to the genre of said song.

[Famfriass]

What is the name of the song where in the beginning the piano is playing really fast---it's very romantic in nature? It's a default tone that comes with keyboards. 

[Oblivion776]

@Famfriass I believe the piece you're thinking of is the "Fantasie Impromptu", Chopin's Op. 66 that has some very dramatic opening runs juxtaposed with some more reverent melodic passages. It comes as a default song on just about every electronic keyboard.

[capt1wess]

@Famfriass maybe it's Debussy's arabesque. i love it!

[slinkiesarefun]

Is this the from the Romantic period?

[WitchCraft129]

@slinkiesarefun No, it's Impressionism =)

[ultrajeitor88]

vraiment incroyable

est tout simplement magnifique!!!!

[superdot36]

Love this tempo. I used to play it in Gieseking's fashion (way faster) ... I'm surprised how it  sounds when played slower.

[lilyballs1]

I enjoyed playin this song when I was a child but im so out of practice.its a shame I stopped playin

[FrederickThePie]

Going to attempt learning this. Back in several years!

[WildHeart0821]

Love this piece and also that painting... I think I will try to recreate it. ^^ Would love to know who's the artist.

[jevoistaface]

Beautiful music and painting. Could you please tell me who painted it?

[negativevice]

Lovely piece but just wondering what's the name/artist of the painting?

[mischkalein]

@negativevice i'd like to know 2!!!

[bucephalus48]

Those who wish for similar music, the spanish dances are emotional, with varied timing, just like this. Granados, Albeniz, Leucuona, etc... This music is alive, and has my heart.  Reflects reality.

[Ritornello892545765]

Debussy's BDAY is on Monday!!

[heyedmond]

I adore Debussy, can anybody recommend someone with similar music?

[ThePanpan7]

@heyedmond Maybe Ravel? Debussy and Ravel are considered as the two basic impressionists.!

[Pianist9393]

@heyedmond heyy I would recommend Ravel's ma mere l'oyed, movement 3.

Check out Martha Argerich and Mikhail Pletnev's duet version!

[PirateYoshi]

@heyedmond As well as Ravel and Satie and the like, I'd recommend a chap called André Caplet. Listen to 'Reverie et Petit Valse', 'Le Conte Fantastique' and 'Viens! Une Flûte Invisible Soupire'. This applies to anyone looking for similar music to Debussy; he was a close friend of Debussy's, and helped him orchestrate some of his pieces. Brilliant composer in his own right too, though less well-known. 'Le Miroir de Jésus' is also well worth a listen, if you have the time. Hope this helps :)

[GabyLikesCookies]

Being a girl in her teens I've always hated my big hands, but whenever i sit down to play the piano I'm like, 'thank god for these giant shovels!!'

[foxyjohnuk]

@GabyLikesCookies That is genius haha, i'm a pianist too, and my hands are TINY. you can see on my profile x

[Britts2006]

The painting is so beautiful!

I really think it fits the piece amazingly :D

[JohnRift]

beautiful



[MsRememberthename]

I spend my free time discovering his music. I simply love it. All of his music is fantastic.

[statikvision21]

I  LOOOOOVE THIS PIECE....!!! ITS SOOO CALM AND RELAXING AND ROMANTIK !!!!!!!

[xPyTTiPaNNax]

Aw, c'mon! WHO'S the one not liking this? -___-

[jarrettip]

Amazing!......the picture

[MushroomBoom00]

this is simply bliss

[TheOthuyeg]

I did this for a piano recital :), who painted this?

[1wiki1]

0 dislikes = like it ;)

[mxgirl918]

hard to play it right but yet so beautiful to listen to!

[Saphir8]

who painted it?

[xXFreexXxHugsXx]

Oh!!, it's very funny and charming

[CigaretteSmokingMann]

who painted this?

[Chrisk1808]

J'aime la musique de Debussy. C'est très belle.

[YesForNo]

whats the painting? Im absolutely inlove with it

[Esmeraldaviolin]

How nice, did anyone know this Debussy piece? I never heard it before :)

Cheers, Esmeralda

[ramzeysid]

how do you do 0:33 - 0:37 smoothly? i understand that they are triplets but i seems to be accenting the chords by accident :( and the fingering in the left hand isn't helping =/

[JimmyPage97]

@ramzeysid Practice is the only word I got.

[ele323]

......

[stockcar5472]

It's great up to the ending which should be quicker and more dramatic.

[littlecupcake94]

beautiful.



[OOHyeahpeggyhill]

"no description available", how true is that

[4TheDoctor2]

@OOHyeahpeggyhill

Haha. Brilliant. :)

[blainm2007]

If you love classic music, you can also check andre mathieu he was a young genuis, his music, his life and his talent was incredible

[Jcc477]

wow..Someone must do a version for vibraphone. Première Arabesque, Clair de Lune and La Rêverie can be played on vibraphone. It is wonderful to play Debussy when you are not even a pianist.

[pinanogrl91]

I love Debussy's music so much, but my little hands can't reach the beautiful complexities of his music D:

[makupa86]

@pinanogrl91 I LOVE DEBUSSY TOO but i fail at playing piano.

lol

[pinanogrl91]

@makupa86 I've been playing for about 15 years and I'm super frustrated that I can't play this lol.

[nintifreak]

@pinanogrl91 It's in the grade 8 ABRSM book for the 2011 entries :)

I have the pleasure of studying it :)

[ShanaChan7]

@nintifreak same :))

[XRememberxMyxNameX]

@nintifreak Yup, same here xP Doing this, the Beethoven Rondo and then one of the Scarlatti's for my A Piece

[vortexofweird]

@XRememberxMyxNameX holy sh^$@&^& same pieces!

[ramzeysid]

@pinanogrl91 same here :(

Not even debussy could play his own piece =/ what a drag!

[Sciabola]

@pinanogrl91 OCCAMON! You're only, what, 18 or 19? You've got all the time to learn this piece. ù_ù

[pinanogrl91]

@Sciabola It's not a matter of learning the piece, I can read it just fine, it's just a pain to play.

[Sciabola]

@pinanogrl91 I was talking about technique, too. :D

[ZiaddaiZ]

*-*

[cenobitex9]

Omg, beautiful! MY friend just told me about this song and I love it so much!

Thank you Monika! <33

[cassandramountakis]
