He was one of the most important figures in music at the turn of the 20th century; his music represents the transition from late-romantic to 20th century classical.

Debussy's most dramatic contribution to music history was his disregard for traditional chord structures and tonality. He is one of the most important exponents of the whole tone scale in classical music history. His compositions flowed without a strict sense of metre or rhythm, and are considered the pioneering works of the Impressionist genre of classical music, named in comparison with the visual arts movement.

Debussy's impact was far reaching. His free use of harmony, which often altogether disregarded the concepts of tertian harmony, has been cited as an influence on the rise of Jazz music later in the 20th century.

Almost 3 years ago, my mother passed away. I was only 12 but I still have so many memories from being with her. One of my memories include her playing this song. She was practically a pro when it came to her piano skill and this was one song she played often. I'm not that good with the piano but someday I'm going to master this song for her. Hopefully I'll be able to play this just as well as she could.

This even feels a little too rushed in some places. They don't hold on the keys long enough before a release, which I feel should be gentler. In my head, it should feel as if the pianist doesn't want to let go, but is forced to continue the song. The notes have to intertwine together, rather than be pushed along.

This song reminds me of someone I used to love. I know most people listen to this because of one reason or another but it makes me both happy and sad. It reminds me of rain, the feeling of being washed over by something but if you just sit there in peace and accept it the feelings becomes so natural and easing. I had someone special play this for me a long time ago and I remember sitting there with my eyes closed trying to remember everything, the smells the feeling, the person who was sitting across the room playing. It makes me happy to know that in that space and in that time it was just me and that person having that experience and unbeknownst to them it was something so intimately special that this piece, no matter what may have happened, will always invoke a fond memory and peace. I have had a very strange life but sometimes it feels good to take this simple peace and remember just one time when I truly felt at ease. Thank you everyone for reading and I hope that you can have that special moment with someone one day.

@davidn2749

@@charlenecai_ the fantasie impromptu by chopin has triplet quarter note + right hand eighth note combo as well. There are tons of really good tutorials on how to play that song. Now I haven't tried learning this one yet but the way I learned how to play fantasie was by playing the right hand normal, except for heavily accenting the notes that fell on 1 or 2 or 3 and 4. Then I would only play the pinky and thumb with my left hand. The pinky and thumb should hit at the same time as some of the right hand notes. So again left hand pinky then thumb, then fill in the right hand making sure you get those downbeats hitting at the same time.
Next heavily heavily heavily practice the triplets for a while. Then when you go back to playing just the thumb and pinky on down beats you'll feel your other fingers wanting to play their notes.
Next step: turn off brain, play both hands how they want to, and you need only pay attention to keeping the tempo even between both hands.
In fantasie, during the first 4 measure of combined play the thumbs of both hands are often the notes that play together on the downbeat, I paid close attention to make sure they hit together, otherwise I knew something was off.
I definitely would suggest too, if you are stuck, learn a different song that also has some similar aspects and you might find going back to the trouble song to be easier. I find I like learning new song much better than learning new drills just to work on improving that one trouble song. Example I had trouble with my left hand dragging in a few songs so I started practicing chopins prelude 24 no 3, er I think that's the right number. It is a "left hand study" and I have already found my left improving in other songs even though I can still on play op 24 no 3 at an abysmally slow tempo.
Hope this helps

I feel like Debussy truly accomplished a really beautifull consistency in this piece. I've noticed he only uses several note combinations only those that truly fit eachother in more situations other notes combined tent to do. I think because of this consistency of the same kind of smoothness throughout the whole piece he is able to fully get anyone really listening to this piece a relaxed mind. Especially in the silence as soon as the piece has been played.

i snuck out to see him and give him a blanket on a cold february night. we walked around town for a little bit and we ended up finding a piano. he played the first minute or so of this, at about this tempo and it was magical. absolutely magical. i teared up. we spent the night talking about nothing and everything at the same time. the way we had connected was like nothing i had ever felt before. we listened to music the whole time and it was like a movie. that memory and that night is everything to me even though we have since broken up. i miss him so and i just hope he's well and happy.

That's really nice, but what do you mean you just "found a piano"? Seems an unlikely thing.

Debussy was a master of modern classical music. It simply doesn't get any better.

There's this great quote about Shakespeare that I think is very applicable to Debussy, as well:
"The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good." - Robert Graves

Music has a way of showing what is possible within humans. Debussy is an innovator in this regard and this piece and his others show the endless limits to what is possible. I never registered this type of tranquillity until I heard this. Truly an innovator. That is utterly mind-blowing.

so this performer's performance is inspirational, stellar and flawless

It's rare that a musical piece doesn't tell you how to feel. Some think it's sad some think it's happy some think it's both.

It was one of the first classical pieces I've ever heard. It makes me sad because everything was so easy and beautiful back than. Just sitting in my room, sorrounded by toys, hearing my parents, alive and well, listening to Debussy, Bizet and Tchaikovsky. Happy times. I hope one day I'll feel like this again.

Vividly in my mind for about a year and a half straight from age 16-18 I would wake up every day before school at 7, make my black coffee, and sit on the computer and listen to this song every single day before school. Didn’t realize 2010-13 were the good old days

After about 6 months, I finished this song. I’m only 10 and have had 6 years of classes. (I swear, I’m not lying,) My teacher asked me to learn this piece, and it was really fun to play! It’s truly a reward to play in harmony with Rousseau. Thank you the encouragement in the comments. I know that barely anyone will see this, but it feels good to have wrote this.

I have finally mastered this song and it's been a dream of mine since I was so little, like 10 years old. now I'm 16 and can play it perfectly. just feels like such a happy accomplishment. Everytime I find a new song to learn, I watch the pianist play it and think it's gonna be impossible for me, and the pianist is so good. but then I master it and realize I am now who I thought was too good for me a few years/months ago
