  • We are so lucky to have a recording of a composer from that time playing his own piece! Especially for me, since I am learning it now it gives a great idea of what Debussy himself intended it to sound like.

  • @irikefortunecookies I often think that too...but also believe they would be grateful that people still take interest in their work. However a piece of music is performed or however a book is interpreted it shows that people are still putting in the time and effort to learn the piece or read the work and think critically about what it is trying to say. There is no way of knowing how they would feel, but that's just my humble opinion....

  • @CrimsonPetal100 ur so right. i also always wish i could hear the original versions... ive been learning this piece recently too and my interpretation sounds really different, but i like mine very much, too. so what i was wondering about lately is: how would the composers feel if they knew how differently people are playing their pieces....same goes for writers: wouldn't they feel disrespected listening to us making ridiculously stupid assumptions while trying to figure out their intentions? O_o

  • A nice citation of Wagner's "Tristan and Isolda".

  • @geekyrebel37

    Or maybe he is impressed, but with the boobs of the lady in the right corner....

  • sweet piano bench.

  • The balding gentlman behind Debussey was his great friend and fellow composer, Ernest Chausson--probably taken at the Chausson's house.

  • The trouble with piano rolls is we are at the mercy of whomever runs them and decides on 'tempo.' Thanks, more than interesting.

  • this composition is astounding... makes me want to climb mountains
