epic. Getting maximum out of the piano.

@kamikazemelon787 indeed, I adore debussy and i really find this piece very very 'tsjaikowsky'. There's no blame in that, i adore both composers and you have to admit this is just a little early piece, very charming but not yet what debussy would become.

@ManosOceano Why are you ruining everyone's enjoyment of this wonderful piece with the cruel world of politics, etc. ?

Good Mr. President Obama is a hostage of the CIA coup d etat, committed in the dark of night, December 31st, 2011: NDAA. Mr. Obama should be impeached and guilty hijackers put on trial for treason. It's the only way to save Mr. Obama and his family and establish truth for Dr. Ron Paul to be President, without a successive coup. Serious preemptive action must be taken now, to build the foundation for Dr. Ron Paul. Truth shall prevail.

"This was Debussy's first piano piece. At the time he composed it he was employed as a private musician in the house of Madame Nadezha von Meck, Tchaikowsky's patroness."

She writes to Tchaikowsky to tell him about Debussy and his piece and his reply is

"It is a most charming piece, perhaps a little short.."

From Dances of Debussy edited by Maurice Hinson.-Just a fun tidbit, I think I'll learn this piece next it's easier than Danse!

@juiceforjoe Yeah atht aht time he didn't know Gamelan (which turned out to happen at the Worldexhibition in Paris in 1889!)

@kamikazemelon787 actually i'm dumb. Debussy took a lot of inspiration from Tchaikovsky.. sorry for the fuss...

[kamikazemelon787]

@juiceforjoe it may seem that way, but Debussy was never really affected by Tchaikovsky's music, and was actually personally criticized by Tchaikovsky himself on this very piece of music. It's ironic that you posted that comment on this piece actually haha. The more you know!
