Claude Debussy - Clair de Lune - Suite Bergamasque. Played by Miss Denise Hewitt on Electronic Keyboard. The complete suite consists of 4 "Movements" - Prelude, Menuet, Clair de Lune, and the final Passepied. However, the Clair de Lune is usually extracted and played alone for its haunting romantic beauty!

Debussy's Clair de Lune is heard during the closing sequences of the Hollywood Film - Ocean's Eleven - 2001 - starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

  • Thanks for Viewing! I'm really sorry that you did not enjoy my interpretation and performance of Debussy's Masterpiece. I really hope that you record your own polished & professional version on piano for YouTubers later this year:) Best Wishes - Denise

  • Impressive! Great Job

  • I'm delighted that you enjoyed my personal interpretation of one of my favourite classical pieces:) Best Wishes - Denise

  • Dette her var dårlige saker.

  • Thanks for viewing! I'm an amateur pianist so I'm aware that I'm far from perfect, but I play from my heart with passion & love:) Best Wishes - Denise

  • It's not as bad as you make it sound :/

    While it's true she has little dynamic change, and that something sounds off with her keyboard, she does put feeling in it, and though the timing isn't correct, it was more changed to reflect her feelings.

  • I checked your Youtube page. What is your musical background that you can be so harsh? Quite obviously you are dumb. You must be deaf as well. Her playing is full of feeling. Too bad you lack the ability to hear that!

  • @josephinebijoux There are so many interpretations of music, you really cannot say that she murdered it. For all you know, that may be exactly how Debussy would have played it. Unless you are right there with him and he is listening to it, there is no room to talk. It is what it it. Do not judge.

  • very nice i really enjoyed it :D

  • MAGIC!!!:)

  • Beauty is "ear" of the beholder as well as the "eye" in my opinion.I hear this as a beautiful performance of Clair de Lune.Keep on posting!

  • get yourself a piano ... I don't like keyboards -.- and you cannot play this piece and make it sound like this with a keyboard :P

  • I don't think that only few people can side read ... its not really hard ... usually you should be able to play both ways (although by heart is always better, like you said, you can really concentrate on the dynamics etc.)

  • Her playing is not "full of feeling" for me maybe because there is a lack of insurance with her playing (memorisation is a good idea to meliorate that!), her rythm is not good sometimes (4:00 she accelerate and i don't like)...

    But I agree with you Ferrante109 for the violence of such a comment by josephinebijoux !!!!

    MissDeniseHewitt => you have to improve your technical playing for me ;)

  • I love the fact that you can actually read the piano sheet right away and few people can do this! on the other side if you can memorize it, you can give a more deep feeling! was nice but needs more sentimental play! like it comes from the heart not from a paper!

  • Music is subjective. I personally think she did a great job. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it as awful as you describe it.
