Debussy: Children's Corner - 1. Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum (1906-1908)

[rawhamburgerjoe]

I hate it when they play this piece so fast. Doesn't sound as good!

[ecoylly1]

such a fun piece to play :D

[myhttpmailbox]

Best music ever! Very large spectrum of interpretations. Debussy is the man.

[goldengul]

I'm learning this, and it's pretty easy, its just get the switch up of 4th and 5th finger in treble clef. AND yeah, I feel like this was sped up.

[taiyouchan101]

Lol thnx guys XD btw renoir x Debussy… BEST COMBO EVER!!!

[SakuraYasunaymaa]

I <3 it... I want to play it ^w^

[taiyouchan101]

Okay I'm 13 and in gr 8 I love this peice I listen to it all the time even at school (during recess) I'm listening to it out loud on the computer my class mates walk by and say "wtf? What are u listening to?!" I stare at them blankly they put in the search bar lil Wayne I give them a look shut the computer off is it wrong that I like this music at this age?!

[peperi0111]

@taiyouchan101 I'm the same. I'm 13 and love classical music. All my classmates think I'm weird, but I don't see how 'I'm Sexy and I know it' by LMFAO can be classed as a good piece of music? Or something people would want to listen to to. But hey, I respect peoples opinions, but they just can't see ours. :(

@taiyouchan101 before I met my girlfriend, I would listen to a really random mix. From Elvis to Mozart to any of the modern stuff. Since I've met her, I've found a love for this music.

[amazingwave]

Imagine if Debussy had never written music.

[linkman553]

It's supposed to be played this fast!! Slower versions are retarded, it doesnt sound the same unless its fast thats the whole point

[Jbloom55]

@linkman553 haha i totally agree

[lucasmusikful]

Essa peça não está muito rápida.Mas mesmo assim é uma ótima versão

[boogalooenorbit]

how long did it take to learn?

[MmeToutLeMonde]

Mon frère l'a joué pour un concour et je l'adore <3

[jonimum21]

hachjah...Debussy is einfach toll! ;)

auch sehr schön gespielt finde ich...!

[1862Debussy]

Je ne crois pas qu'il s'agisse d'un problème que le tempo soit trop rapide dans ce cas. Le pianiste se réfère à ce qu'il ressent au moment de l'interprétation de la pièce par laquelle il transmet ses émotions. C'est qui différencie le musicien de l'interprète: L'un joue avec la tête, l'autre avec le coeur!

[EmilyBearfan]

This is supposed to be kept at a generally steady tempo. This is not so much. I do love this piece, though.

[liney1234]

I can play this, it's absolutely my favourite piece! :)

[clodivan]

Formidable...cette musique me parle .....

[annapratsmarin]

I love it, the ambientation, all is in perfect armony. I'm going to learn it :D!

[TheZdephinio]

I permanently thinking that this is too fast:)

[Sternenfee333]

@TheZdephinio i think so too, i used to play it a few years ago, and i don't think it was that good=) but i don't really like this one here. i'd really like to know, who plays it

[Harpearpa]

@TheZdephinio not fast but unstable

[jorgepeterbarton]

@TheZdephinio i agree, i never like the debussy recordings 'on speed'. much prefer the slower ones.

[collina24]

who's the piano player?

[timesdaughter]

Schöne Version, wer hat die eingespielt?

[veryangrystorks]

@timesdaughter Philippe Entremont

[veryangrystorks]

@veryangrystorks Or at least I THINK it's Philippe Entremont...

[yoyo502]

This is my favorite classical piano piece... and I learned to play it! :D

[amazingwave]

@yoyo502 That's awesome. I heard Debussy's 1st Arabesque and that what got me into piano playing. Ever since then I've learned to play that piece as well as many others, but the 1st Arabesque will always remain my favorite.

[gassyjeff]

DOCTOR GRADVS AD PARNASSVM !

[DaHappyGang]

debussy smells

[TweekdKitty]

Excellent

[PianistCor]

GREAT!!!!
