Le Petit Nègre - Debussy

A playful cakewalk by Debussy called Le Petit Négre. Still not perfect, just like any other piece I've recorded, but I think it's acceptable.

Ratings are greatly appreciated.

[arsmo1]

how long did it take you to learn this piece (anyonee?)

[neoguy9090]

within a few weeks, I'd say, if you practice an hour a day.

Négre was a commonly accepted word for "black person" in French back in Debussy's time.

Historical context is important.

if you can do a better job. than show us ;)

Not bad at all! I would simply suggest a more energic theme (mi-sol, mi-sol (sorry I'm french) etc. should be played faster). This should be enthusiastic, so as to contrast with slower parts next. Just (half?) one wrong note noticed, so technically, no real problem.

just perfect

@ItsAymeeBaybee -.- I know, I'm well aware, it was just a half hearted queery, poking attention to ''ol' fashioned racism''. I wasn't actually asking the question seriously. Besides, I asked like 9 months ago, even if I was seriously asking it's a bit late to answer now. Sorry if I come across as snappy, I'm just trying to explain.
