Claire Min-Venditti--Debussy La Puerta del Vino

[tamegomaith93]

It's not bad, but it's not excellent either. It's "mouvmt. de habanera" - remember, a habanera is a cuban DANCE, thus the rythm needs to be really strict. In a few places it's supposed to be tempo rubato, but elsewhere you need to get the timing perfect :) And, you need to bring out the melody in the start more. Let the habanera-rhythm in the bass be heard, yet only sweet and subtle. It's the same all the way - a foundation at the base of the piece. Don't drown it, and don't blast is out =)

are you sure habanera is a cuban dance??? I read that it has an arabian origin which is more obvious because Spain was dominated by the moors and this piece was based in la puerta del vino in Granada Spain, check the the rhytm of an habanera, is more arabian than latin american ;)

Thus the rythm needs to be really strict? I'm really not sure.

Yeah it shouldn't much change during the piece, but it could possibly be slowed down just after the (i'm sorry i am french so i don't know if this is the same in english) ré b, la, ré b, la "very little rubato" and once again ré b, la, ré b, la...

no way! this is an excellent interpretation; it's a gracefuland and quite romantic way of playing this modern piece of music. Well done!

Hi! I think that this is beautiful - and I like Led Zeppelin too!

Don't be too quick to rule out any genre of music, perhaps this type of music will grow on you as you get older?
