  • Thank you for uploading the whole suite.

    I'm so sick and tired of people who overlook the rest of the suite and just upload clair de lune as if it was a single piece and not a movement in a piece. In my opinion, menuet and prelude are certainly better than it and passepied is just as good as clair de lune.

    You should look at some of the debussy preludes. They are very overlooked as well.

  • @looney1023 I do not currently own any recordings of the preludes, unfortunately. I got the rest of the Estampes, L'isle joyeuse, Images set 1 & 2 and Childrens Corner with Gieseking under consideration, if that would be interesting :) Will jsut have to do a quick check that the same recordings aren't easily found on YouTube already

  • @looney1023 Also, I agree about the other movements, the Menuet and Pessepied are my favourites :)

  • I find this much more engaging than that _other_ piece.

  • Agradezco mucho estos link donde pude disfrutar de esta musica, muchas gracias.

  • So delicate.

  • @cafity  T-T same here~~~

  • I'm playing this right now! I'm having a hard time with the left hand ;P

  • this has to be one of debussy's best. and yet i can barely get through a fews bars left hand only... and i can play a few of his other works... its a curse for small hands this piece.

  • @mcvanby No... this is not too fast... on the contrary, this version (Walter Gieseking's) is one of the slowest i've ever heard. And I actually like this one because of that. One can appreciatte better all the flavors. The only version slower than this one (the I've heard) is on one of the last recordings of Claudio Arrau. That one is almost impossibly slow, partly because Arrau was very old when they recorded iy, but it is delightful, because he had such an amazing expression.

  • Very well played, but the question is..."allegretto ma non troppo"....isn't it too fast? I can hardly perceive the bass line....
