I am so pleased that they did this.

Even listening to this I can feel my fingers snapping.

It mental to hear this, I played this at Uni and thought I played it very similar to how Debussy would've played it. How wrong was I!! He plays it at a million miles an hour and he makes quite a few rhythmical slips on the left hand but then again maybe thats how he wanted it played.

From the album 'Debussy plays Debussy' on the dal segno label. 7 of the tracks on that album are played by Debussy. This isn't one of them.

@Joseflhevinne actually it says it is a piano roll. debussy played on the piano and the roll recorded his performance.

Il y a deux compositions dans cette version, les notes sur le papier et les mains sur le clavier. Debussy devait vraiment être un pianiste incroyable ; on dirait qu'il se moque totalement de ce qu'il a écrit dans la partition et qu'il réinvente au fur et à mesure qu'il joue. Une inspiration quasi-Divine!

Piano rolls are a lot like MIDI recordings of today. Rather than recording the sounds of the piano, they "record" the actual movements of the pianists fingers and feet by punching a hole for each note played in a "paper" roll. When the process is reversed, the performance is duplicated as the holes actuate the keys and foot pedals of a special kind of piano that can read them.
