La fille aux Cheveux de Lin - The Girl With The Flaxen Hair (Prelude No. 8) - Claude Debussy

Me (Lawrence Robson) playing Prelude VIII by Claude Debussy. Please give this a watch, comment and a rating!

ETA (20/01/2010): I feel that this video is nowhere near perfect. I have improved much since I recorded this.

the best i've seen so far with a full fledged emotion...

Thank you so much, that means a lot to me :) My piano teacher was brought to tears of joy when I played this to her last, I felt so at one with the piece.

very good lawrence.

[krazyjApAn]

Thanks. More detail? :P

[Oldladeesistahs]

You've inspired me to really learn the song.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I will re-upload at a later date to iron out any mistakes :)

this should be played quieter, less robotic, smoother and faster- it shouldn't drag as much. but this is my perception of how the piece should be played.

Hi ! girl..where are you gazing at ?...starry heavens at midnight or shift of the sky light...What are you thinking about....emotion pass away or merry sang last night.....Where is my girl with the flaxen hair?..... this melody always made me blue...

.啊 !女孩..妳在凝視何方?...是子夜的星空.還是變換的天光.­...妳在思索何事...已逝去的感情或是昨夜的歡唱....我­的棕髮女孩在那裡?....一首讓我憂鬱的曲子...

Dude, that was fucking epic. The emotion built into this piece is indescribable,

A few comments though.

Try to slide your notes a bit more. The piece, like all pieces, tells a story. Think of sliding and playing the piece with a bit more legato as adding better vocabulary to a book or a poem.

Dont forget your dynamics, They are good but can be better.

I played this piece for a recital a few weeks back, and my teacher also went to tears.

Apart from that, Congratufuckinglations. Your orgasmic.

Hello nice playing! Do you know japanese? I am learning it.

とても素敵な声

Firs of all well played Lawrence! It was beautiful.

Sometimes I would play it slightly lighter, yes with emotion but also play it like it is music sung by angels (ethereal, like it is from the world beyond).

Don't get me wrong it was beautiful but if you want to improve it even further, try to put down some of the chords slightly lighter and make all the transition smooth and playful.

Lots of love <3
