The more I hear of Debussy, the more I realise what a master he was. It must have been amazing to be in France during the Belle Epoque!

This is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard. It evokes a dreamlike state, as if you're floating above a french town or city of the period at night. This piece takes me everywhere, and I love it. Kind of gives off some Clair de Lune-mid-night vibe. I can see how he developed that into its own idea from this.

+Hassaan Bangash I always imagine a bright fluorescent city on the edge of the sea. Not at night but under an endearing gloomy navy sky with brush strokes of orange illustrated by the western setting sun.

+brainsick213 +brainsick213 Wow, thats incredibly specific! I don't see it but it's amazing how varied and stimulating interpretations can be based on life experiences and personalities. I'm glad you shared yours :) I'd be curious to know your take on some other pieces by Debussy

Hassaan Bangash Not based on any life experience. This music piece gives my imagination a field day so with it I can contemplate this specific setting. The key here is to be whimsical with one's vision.

+brainsick213 That's true, but I meant that based on your life experiences you may indirectly have a different interpretation than I (in this case brighter, more solid), meaning your personality and experiences translate into the themes around your thoughts and emotions... ok i don't know if I articulated myself, I may have just confused you even more... All I can say is I wish floating above a 19th century France landscape was one of my life experiences!

@hassaanbangash4294

+brainsick213. Also is there any certain mindset you have to get into this "whimsical" state, as I am really interested in furthering my emotional takeaway on abstract pieces like this
