@@MjkL1337 music theory and notes wise yes. But the actual playing maybe not. Guitar translates easier to other stringed instruments such as the violin. Piano is a whole different monster. I play both violin and piano.
My first girlfriend was an amazing pianist. She won an award for her musical talents and played Arabesque no. 1 for a live audience, which I was part of. We were both 16, and I was so impressed by the talent and grace with which she played. We went our seperate ways after 3 years, and there was a great deal of pain. Looking back now, the bitterness is gone. The serenity and beauty of the music takes me back to a vivid memory, to a time which will be clear in my mind as long as I live. Life really is an incredible thing, and the beauty of music is that it has the magical ability to make us take a step back and appreciate it in all its wonder.
That's true growth right there, it's about learning from what we do, all the mistakes we make and the hardships we face; Being able to accept that, means you've truly grown
My crush played this piece in front of me and i was in tears, it was the first time i heard this piece and i completely fell in love with it and even more for that boy. Oh god he was so beautiful playing it ... now i can’t stop listening to it cause it reminds me of him .. I admire him so much but i don’t think he feels the same :) anyways this is pure art
According to Shazam the performer here is Ronan O'hora. Really should be credited in the description, this is one of the best interpretations of Arabesque 1 I've heard.
I’m a cellist and last year I’ve had a Christmas concert with the orchestra. I’ll always remember that night, because my whole family came to see me play. They never come to my concerts. Later it was time to go home and as I was packing my things and getting ready to leave, I heard someone play the piano on the stage. There was a group of people and a girl playing this piece by Claude Debussy. We became friends few months later when I told her about how I fell in love with her playing. She changed schools tho and had to move this year so I’ll probably never see her again but my dad got me my own piano for my birthday!!! I’ll try to be as good as she is at playing Debussy. Hopefully everyone is having a fantastic day!! (sorry if my English is bad :/ )
All jokes aside, I heard this song from a ringtone on a phone I owned when I was 12. It was my alarm tone. Now I am 26 and hearing this song as it was originally intended for the first time. How wonderful it is the way music works.
For anyone else who was wondering who plays this, it's Ronan O'hora for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It's one of the most moving pieces of music I've heard in my life
I was a Steinway grand piano and when someone played these on me 20 years ago I became a human. I now have a steady job as an accountant which gives me just enough to stay at my low rent apartment and support a heroin addiction. I wish i was a piano again...

Nick - If you TRULY want to feel like you're underwater, listen to Debussy's "La Cathedral Engloutie" (The Sunken Cathedral). I played that piece for my audition to a string quintet. When I finished, two of the judges were in tears - they said the piece brought visual hallucinations of great beauty. I told them it was not my playing; I deferred all the compliments to the composer.
A lot of people , liken his music to water in some form or another ... Which i Agee , in parts some of his music. To me are like raindrops .. Beautiful !
Debussy's music is so melancholy, yet it is so absolutely beautiful and speaks to a part of my soul that no other music can. It seems to reach emotions that nothing else can and I love it...
What a dreamer Debussy was! Who among us shall dream so eternally? This music is a gift. I am so incredibly grateful. Beautiful, and true, they are a treasure. I ask you, you reader. Are you not filled with gratitude and joy when you hear these two gems.
I love this classical song Arabesque. I think it used to be the theme song for Jack Horkheimer's 'Stargazer' show. My parents divorced when I was seven and I did not see my dad again for 14 years. He was an astronomer. I went to visit him from my 21st birthday in Tucson, Az, and we went up into his observatory I looked at the stars & planets through his 17 " cassegraine telescope all night long, Jupiter mars, Arcturus, the Horse and the Rider Nebula on the 2nd to the last star on the Big Dipper. During the evening we would watch the star gazer show when he came on, and he played the song Arabesque as his intro. That was the best month of my life. My dad passed away in 1994. I still cry when I hear this song, and I imagine looking at the stars with my Dad. The horse and the Rider Nebula is the one of the most beautiful nebulas you could ever see. There's actually two stars together second from the last star in the tail of Big Dipper, and you could see it with your own eyes without a telescope, but if you do have a telescope and you can see the nebula it is so worth seeing, because it's amazingly beautiful. I'm grateful to Claude Debussy for that classical song Arabesque. Each Era had their own Bests. 💝🌹💐😇🙏
Arabesque No. 1 A silent August late afternoon by the seaside. The little breeze blowing on the shimmering waves as the sun sets below the horizon. Arabesque No. 2 A cool but lovely spring day. Flowers decorate the green meadows with iridescence.
For me, Arabesque No.1 is a rainy autumnal afternoon, water boiling in the background and a warm duvet wrapped around my shoulders as I look out of the window
I started watching TwoSetViolin a while back and they directed me to Debussy. His pieces are absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I discovered they exist
My piano teacher played this the other day. And she reminded me that music is a portal to endless possibilities. And why I am so taken by notes and melodies.
never going to forget sitting under a lit passage way with my bike in the rain to this song. the night was dark, the time was late and I was the only one riding on an empty campus. something beautiful about how the brick passage ways clacked under my wheel and the debussy was my back track. I think it's a moment we all crave creating, and you dear reader will find such peace in your soul one day from it.
Dude… my story for this is so similar I thought I wrote this and forgot. I will always remember that night. I was walking through campus on my way home from a friends place (now my husband haha) and felt so happy. This song came on right as I passed a grassy field with many pink flowering trees. I went and lay in the grass under them and watched the stars through the trembling petals while these beautiful chords played in my ears. The otherworldly comfort and joy that this song gave me that night… I’ll never forget it.
Nunca agradeceré a Dios lo bastante por haber dotado a estos hombres con la capacidad de crear / interpretar la maravilla de esta música (clásica)¡ que cada vez tiene más fans en Internet.! Gracias a quienes la comparten con el mundo.
We don’t only cry when we’re sad. We cry for joy, we cry when we are moved by the epitome of beauty. We cry when our emotions are so high that they must be let loose. This piece ticks all the marks.
I'm obsessed with Debussy I play Clair d Lune daily like 10 times, I'm learning Arabesques, and I listen to them like 20 times per day. I hope this obsession never ends.
definitely my favorite interpretation of no. 2. So many pianists seem to treat it like a sprint race. I personally think playing out so fast smothers the piece and leaves less room for the playful, twisting, whimsical nature of the piece to come through.
+Elise .Sullivan words can convey stuff music can't do, such as Darling we've run out of milk, can you please, go down to the store and buy some, if you would be so kind. Music may be able to convey feelings of raw emotion, but can't convey complex emotions, such as hatred or love, only weak emotion states such as happiness, fear and sadness. Try to find music that can convey confusion, guilt, terror, awe or insanity, I'll tell you that there is none. However words can evoke those feelings with ease, they can play with the emotions of man with such an ease that it was if we were little kids. Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, is so beautifully written, with such ease it grasps you, it leads you. J.R.R Tolkien had such flowing description of his depiction of his Midgard that you felt you were there, words so alluring and smooth that they mesmerize you without your understanding of it happening. There is nothing in music that words cannot describe, as it hungers for your presence, the presence of those hungry eyes, them insatiable eyes, that longs for it to end, but falls ever deeper, it grabs you it pulls you, it wants you there with it, it needs you it hungers and you can't bear to be without it, it starves you, it make you crave and as soon as it gets a hold it will make you into it's slave. Slowly whispering, I'm your friend, I'm your friend. It wants you to itself, someone for it to notice, as they live yet ever shortly, it brings you slowly with it. Down into your grave, to share it's destiny, it hungers, it wants you and you'll soon do the same, you'll feed it, you'll need it, it's precious, it's yours, its hold grows ever stronger, and when it ends, you wish it were longer. Now if I someone who is bad at writing stuff came up with that shit in 5 minutes, a short enticing story, with few repeated elements to ensure you of it's content, a story with a beginning a middle and an end. A message deep and truly, and don't worry I'll break the pattern in this new segment of words. It's not that hard to convey beauty or terror with words alone, sure music is a beauty that can satiate our minds, but a well written story gives you so much more. Have a nice day, and learn that simple statements aren't always correct, Music may be beautiful and can carry powerful meanings, but say the right words to any man, and he'll do anything for you. That word may differ and it may not be obvious to all. But it can be as simple as a morality boosting rallying cry, or as simple as a temptation to do something bad, to an invite of pure awe, to the humblings of old men. What song can make a grown man cry, yet leave everyone else in confusion, what song can make a grown man happy yet an entire nation in despair, how many songs lead men into battle, yet unwilling to fight? Oh and did I mention, Have a nice day.
Arabesque always manages to sooth me during a depressive episode. Something about the song helps me realize that things will be fine. I swear, it's... Magical.
Whenever I listen to this piece, which I have for a good number of years now, I'm reminded of the good things in life, and I imagine a scene of serenity, nature and amazing architecture. I also get nostalgic of times in the past. Thanks, Debussy and Top Classical Music
Debussy was a great symbolist composer; he frequented at cafeterias with symbolist poets, he composed the famous opera Pelléas et Mélisande, based on the homonymous theatrical work of the symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck, and rejected the title of impressionist that the Académie des Beaux Artes ascribed to him for his Printemps, a piece written after the composer's travel to Italy. He wasn't an impressionist, as his works attempt not to catch some elusive idea, as the impressionist painters used to, however he was a symbolist, because he focused on the sound itself and its effect on the audience.

CarsonsGaming .. I was 10 or 11 when I first heard these playing on a radio next door and I was waiting for my friends to play, on that nice sunny summer day...
I would have to say more it sounds more like nature. That being said, most water color painting depict pretty nature things, so I guess your answer is reasonable as well.
I primarily associate this music with 2 things from my life: 1. StarHustler (of course) 2. Long and lazy summer afternoons, spent lying on the floor of my grandparents living room.. drifting in and out of sleep to the likes of Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, the 100 acre wood.... a magical place, for sure.. and why, I think, the music reminds me of it.
I grew up in a family that played piano and No. 1 brings nostalgia back to when I was 8 or 9 and I stayed home from school with my sister because I was sick, and I’d just hear my mom practice over and over. Vivid memories.
This song makes me feel nostalgic, and I realize that a song without having lyrics can transmit many emotions, this song touches a sensitive point in me.
This wonderful rendition is a luxurious lullaby before falling asleep. It is a luxury and bliss to fall asleep while listening to such a magnificent performance
I have had a passion for the piano since I was a baby, now I have a real piano and im working up to be one of these incredible artists such as Beethoven, Debussy, Mozart, etc!! I absolutely love this piece! It’s gorgeous! :)
This makes me imagine I’m the Greek islands enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean sipping my wine while the breeze gently blows the curtains as the sun kisses my skin on my balcony...oh the dreamy ideal way to watch the world go by...Debussy inspires my imagination ❤️❤️
As a electronic music producer for 13 years, ive never had such an enchanting ride through music as exploring what classical has music offered me. Needless to say it has changed my view on music forever. I'm 24 and grateful for the effect these artists have had on me going forward. So much to learn and breathe here from debussy alone.
These 2 Arabesques are my favourite pieces that are written by Debussy, although Clair de Lune is also one of my favourites as well. These pieces bring such an elegant and relaxing atmosphere everywhere I go. Debussy is the one of the few post-romantic composers which I adore. The structure of the melodic lines are so magnificently well organized and beautiful. Thank you Debussy for composing such wonderful pieces.
@@hopesonmakokha5217 Dude. I cannot thank you enough. Gymnopedie no. 1. I've loved that piece forever, but never knew the composer or even what it was called. Honestly, thank you.
@@winstonsmith11 hehe you're welcome. I was in a similar situation, I hunted that piece of music trying to discover its title until i finally found it. It's one of my favourites. I also recommend a piece called Reverie, done by Debussy. And Je te veux by Satie.
I live alone and become depressed without company but I have found that the laptop can help with Debussy lifting me out of the black hole ! Wonderful music.
The most upvoted comments are the stupidest ones I've ever read. It's sad to have such a beautiful piece with all that shit right under it. Fucktards millenials ruin everything...
I remember taking long scenic road trips in Nevada when I lived there, and always had this music of Debussy playing (on cassette) and it totally relaxed me and practically put me in a different dimension of time.
Probably one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I'm not classical critic of classical music but I do know what I like. Every line, seems to be effortlessly, written.
The two Arabesques were part of my repertory when I studied piano up through high school . Debussy, like Bach, were for me the most challenging to study and play, but once getting the grasp on the music and interpreting it, a complete exhilarating pleasure . And I always felt it was such an honor to play all these pieces... My favorite bars were 00:38-1:25 , and in the 2nd piece 6:50-7:08. .....I sure do miss it.
Escuché está pieza una tarde después de la lluvia cuando paseaba por un parque. Olor a tierra mojada, las plantas y árboles ofrecían sus fragancias, maravilla....
Karen Curtis How? I am autist and psychopath, i cant feel what love is. I cry from pain. I deserve it. Once i worked is sos phone line only because o enjoyed listen others suffering.

That is how part of my brain functions without any control i can have. It's unfair and brutal. I also cry so much.
Karen Curtis Yeah, when I was listening to this I just imagined the sweetest little concept for a love story/animation. Ahh if only I had the talent/patience/equipment.
Uroš Peteh You can't change who you are, you can learn new skills though. You are not a mistake as a human, it's that you have to find your niche that doesn't harm others while flexxing your mental muscles. The man who created the special effects guitars for KISS and started a whole new level in music was autistic (which can often be accompanied by or confused with psychopathy). Your brain is unique and as such bears specific gifts unique only to you. You might not experience silly, flighty "puppy love" as described here and what is usually simply the endorphin rush of NEW love but you can try for the longer lasting commitment based love which is more or less the real deal.
Something about Debussy's style is so elegantly beautiful that it often brings me to tears. Clair de Lune has an even greater effect on me than Arabesque. Two notes and I'm misty-eyed.
They're also from two different periods so the comparison is a lil silly. From my perspective, all the major romantic period composers were better than the best classical period composers

Debussy did compose a composition titled "La. Mer" (The Sea). He did a very good job of evoking images of waves of the sea through sound.
Debussy's music is so melancholy, yet it is so absolutely beautiful and speaks to a part of my soul that no other music can. It seems to reach emotions that nothing else can and I love it...
What a dreamer Debussy was! Who among us shall dream so eternally? This music is a gift. I am so incredibly grateful. Beautiful, and true, they are a treasure. I ask you, you reader. Are you not filled with gratitude and joy when you hear these two gems.
I heard these pieces when I was 10 minutes old. Now I'm a transient sound wave.
I heard these pieces one hour ago. No change, yet.
I hear them when I am alive...
Well, your picture tells me that you're a dog, so, you're lying. But nice try, Doggo.
I heard these pieces before the big bang which is why I created the universe so Debussy would put pen to paper.
Dang that’s deep😁
I love this classical song Arabesque. I think it used to be the theme song for Jack Horkheimer's 'Stargazer' show. My parents divorced when I was seven and I did not see my dad again for 14 years. He was an astronomer. I went to visit him from my 21st birthday in Tucson, Az, and we went up into his observatory I looked at the stars & planets through his 17 " cassegraine telescope all night long, Jupiter mars, Arcturus, the Horse and the Rider Nebula on the 2nd to the last star on the Big Dipper. During the evening we would watch the star gazer show when he came on, and he played the song Arabesque as his intro. That was the best month of my life.
My dad passed away in 1994.
I still cry when I hear this song, and I imagine looking at the stars with my Dad.
The horse and the Rider Nebula is the one of the most beautiful nebulas you could ever see. There's actually two stars together second from the last star in the tail of Big Dipper, and you could see it with your own eyes without a telescope, but if you do have a telescope and you can see the nebula it is so worth seeing, because it's amazingly beautiful.
I'm grateful to Claude Debussy for that classical song Arabesque. Each Era had their own Bests. 💝🌹💐😇🙏
Yes it was, but it was performed by Isao Tomita on a Moog Synthesizer.
Arabesque n° 1 is so relaxing, I listen to it when I want to be calm. What a masterpiece!!
4:17 If you want to skip to no 2
Idk why tho the first is so beautiful
First one is my fav. It feels like enjoying an ice cream Sunday at the park during spring while gazing at an array of creamy white marble clouds.
I fell in love with these pieces years ago. Now I'm a puzzle.
whoa thats weird

this one is clever
You sly dog
This made me laugh so hard

A silent August late afternoon by the seaside. The little breeze blowing on the shimmering waves as the sun sets below the horizon.
Arabesque No. 2
A cool but lovely spring day. Flowers decorate the green meadows with iridescence.
beautiful
For me, Arabesque No.1 is a rainy autumnal afternoon, water boiling in the background and a warm duvet wrapped around my shoulders as I look out of the window
Debussy's music opens the doors to the imagination
and allows the spirit to soar on delicate wings to
a world of enchantment. Thank you for posting.
I get the urge to take a pencil and start sketching.
This man knew how to make magic with his hands, it truly becomes more and more beautiful everytime I listen to this pieces, it never gets old
I'm literally listening this with my newborn asleep in my arms.😊✌
What better music to lull a newborn off to sleep. ☺️
Lucky!
He will become a concert piano
He's gonna grow up to comment on this video "I literally listened to this when I was a newborn and now I'm 49" or something like that lmao
@@internetperson3228 If the country he was born in still exists.
I started watching TwoSetViolin a while back and they directed me to Debussy. His pieces are absolutely gorgeous and I'm so glad I discovered they exist
yay! TwoSetViolin!
good story :)
Debussy is by far the most intoxicating of the modern classical composers. He captures so much of the mood with his compositions
My piano teacher played this the other day. And she reminded me that music is a portal to endless possibilities. And why I am so taken by notes and melodies.
Chapin Rosewood has
To me it's amazing how Debussy heard this music in his head, especially at the time he was composing. A true genius.
Exactly what I am thinking about. He must have been improvising
never going to forget sitting under a lit passage way with my bike in the rain to this song. the night was dark, the time was late and I was the only one riding on an empty campus. something beautiful about how the brick passage ways clacked under my wheel and the debussy was my back track. I think it's a moment we all crave creating, and you dear reader will find such peace in your soul one day from it.
UwU
That's beautiful man
Dude… my story for this is so similar I thought I wrote this and forgot. I will always remember that night. I was walking through campus on my way home from a friends place (now my husband haha) and felt so happy. This song came on right as I passed a grassy field with many pink flowering trees. I went and lay in the grass under them and watched the stars through the trembling petals while these beautiful chords played in my ears. The otherworldly comfort and joy that this song gave me that night… I’ll never forget it.
Nunca agradeceré a Dios lo bastante por haber dotado a estos hombres con la capacidad de crear / interpretar la maravilla de esta música (clásica)¡ que cada vez tiene más fans en Internet.! Gracias a quienes la comparten con el mundo.
A piece of Heaven on Earth.
Hearing this made me cry. I don’t know why, I’m not sad. Maybe it was the thought of anything so beautiful coming from a human being overwhelmed me.
Right on Allen... this epitomizes stunning beauty, you have impeccable taste good sir.
We don’t only cry when we’re sad. We cry for joy, we cry when we are moved by the epitome of beauty. We cry when our emotions are so high that they must be let loose. This piece ticks all the marks.
it's call Stendhal syndrome and i feel the same, this piece it's so beautiful
I'm obsessed with Debussy
I play Clair d Lune daily like 10 times, I'm learning Arabesques, and I listen to them like 20 times per day.
I hope this obsession never ends.
definitely my favorite interpretation of no. 2. So many pianists seem to treat it like a sprint race. I personally think playing out so fast smothers the piece and leaves less room for the playful, twisting, whimsical nature of the piece to come through.
Have to agree, this interpretation is full of colors
Duuude so right 🌬
Iam
Absolute 🎶❤
Do you know who is playing??
on a rainy afternoon, you find this in your youtube recommended, you play this music again and again, life is good.
Music can convey feelings not possible with words.
+Elisepiece nah
Chartre Khan okay then?
+Elisepiece get rekt
+Elisepiece This is probably my favorite of his.
+Elise .Sullivan words can convey stuff music can't do, such as Darling we've run out of milk, can you please, go down to the store and buy some, if you would be so kind.
Music may be able to convey feelings of raw emotion, but can't convey complex emotions, such as hatred or love, only weak emotion states such as happiness, fear and sadness. Try to find music that can convey confusion, guilt, terror, awe or insanity, I'll tell you that there is none.
However words can evoke those feelings with ease, they can play with the emotions of man with such an ease that it was if we were little kids.
Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, is so beautifully written, with such ease it grasps you, it leads you.
J.R.R Tolkien had such flowing description of his depiction of his Midgard that you felt you were there, words so alluring and smooth that they mesmerize you without your understanding of it happening.
There is nothing in music that words cannot describe, as it hungers for your presence, the presence of those hungry eyes, them insatiable eyes, that longs for it to end, but falls ever deeper, it grabs you it pulls you, it wants you there with it, it needs you it hungers and you can't bear to be without it, it starves you, it make you crave and as soon as it gets a hold it will make you into it's slave. Slowly whispering, I'm your friend, I'm your friend. It wants you to itself, someone for it to notice, as they live yet ever shortly, it brings you slowly with it. Down into your grave, to share it's destiny, it hungers, it wants you and you'll soon do the same, you'll feed it, you'll need it, it's precious, it's yours, its hold grows ever stronger, and when it ends, you wish it were longer.
Now if I someone who is bad at writing stuff came up with that shit in 5 minutes, a short enticing story, with few repeated elements to ensure you of it's content, a story with a beginning a middle and an end. A message deep and truly, and don't worry I'll break the pattern in this new segment of words. It's not that hard to convey beauty or terror with words alone, sure music is a beauty that can satiate our minds, but a well written story gives you so much more.
Have a nice day, and learn that simple statements aren't always correct, Music may be beautiful and can carry powerful meanings, but say the right words to any man, and he'll do anything for you. That word may differ and it may not be obvious to all. But it can be as simple as a morality boosting rallying cry, or as simple as a temptation to do something bad, to an invite of pure awe, to the humblings of old men.
What song can make a grown man cry, yet leave everyone else in confusion, what song can make a grown man happy yet an entire nation in despair, how many songs lead men into battle, yet unwilling to fight?
Oh and did I mention, Have a nice day.
Arabesque always manages to sooth me during a depressive episode. Something about the song helps me realize that things will be fine. I swear, it's... Magical.
Whenever I listen to this piece, which I have for a good number of years now, I'm reminded of the good things in life, and I imagine a scene of serenity, nature and amazing architecture. I also get nostalgic of times in the past. Thanks, Debussy and Top Classical Music
Aaah i love Debussy, this music is really good too
Ay b0ss? Can I habe Debussy pls?
Debussy was a great symbolist composer; he frequented at cafeterias with symbolist poets, he composed the famous opera Pelléas et Mélisande, based on the homonymous theatrical work of the symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck, and rejected the title of impressionist that the Académie des Beaux Artes ascribed to him for his Printemps, a piece written after the composer's travel to Italy. He wasn't an impressionist, as his works attempt not to catch some elusive idea, as the impressionist painters used to, however he was a symbolist, because he focused on the sound itself and its effect on the audience.

Abravanel, Claude. 1999. "Symbolism and Performance" In Debussy in Performance, edited by James R. Briscoe, 28-44. New Haven & London: Yale University Press.
Claude Debussy was the first impressionist composer, reminds me of when impressionists were a thing with their art and stuff.
Something is mysterious with both Arabesque...every time I hear these, I tend to linger on a dream...
agree.
Same here, I think of a mysterious dream, or of water flowing through a river maybe.
Right!?
CarsonsGaming .. I was 10 or 11 when I first heard these playing on a radio next door and I was waiting for my friends to play, on that nice sunny summer day...
Oh my God , i feel same
Sounds like watercolors
Amelia Escobedo valenzuela description on point
I would have to say more it sounds more like nature. That being said, most water color painting depict pretty nature things, so I guess your answer is reasonable as well.
That's impressionism for you.
Amelia Escobedo valenzuela ... drops of colors? A few broad strokes? :-}
that's exactly what it sounds and feels to me
Une musique refraichissante et toujours d'actualité malgré le temps,
Quel moment de détente !
I primarily associate this music with 2 things from my life:
1. StarHustler (of course)
2. Long and lazy summer afternoons, spent lying on the floor of my grandparents living room.. drifting in and out of sleep to the likes of Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, the 100 acre wood.... a magical place, for sure.. and why, I think, the music reminds me of it.
I never would have remembered the title "StarHustler".
Omigod! Someone else who remembers the Starhustler. What was his real name, and what happened to him?
I grew up in a family that played piano and No. 1 brings nostalgia back to when I was 8 or 9 and I stayed home from school with my sister because I was sick, and I’d just hear my mom practice over and over. Vivid memories.
Il y a très longtemps Debussy est entré dans ma vie , il ne devait plus me quitter un rêve perpétuel. . .
This is beautiful, but in the portrait he looks like his dad is lecturing him and he's thinking, "Not this shit again."
Looks like somebody just told him their preferred gender pronouns lol
😂😂😂 Do true! 😊✌
could well have happened he was that kind of kid, contrary
It's all about his ear
the talking eyes lol
Que triste ver que casi no hay comentarios en español...yo amo la música clásica en especial las obras de Mozart, Bach y Debussy
Nao tem em portugues, eu sou do BRASIL.
Cuando escucho música, no suelo comentar
Me encantan estas piezas.
The melody falls down like a flurry of beauty
This song makes me feel nostalgic, and I realize that a song without having lyrics can transmit many emotions, this song touches a sensitive point in me.
The french definitely know how to compose music that touches the heart!
Amy Mannheimer merci
Ravel is not the case..

I always love Debussy's works. It's not overwhelming, and beautiful.
I have had a passion for the piano since I was a baby, now I have a real piano and im working up to be one of these incredible artists such as Beethoven, Debussy, Mozart, etc!! I absolutely love this piece! It’s gorgeous! :)
Good luck! 👍🏽
How awesome ! Good luck
This makes me imagine I’m the Greek islands enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean sipping my wine while the breeze gently blows the curtains as the sun kisses my skin on my balcony...oh the dreamy ideal way to watch the world go by...Debussy inspires my imagination ❤️❤️
there is an essence unique to debussy, this dreamy quality to his music. It's very uncommon and you can tell right away
I listened to this when I was Debussy, Now I'm dead
Wtf? 😂
I love you
the fucking in the hole
All great composers eventually decompose.
hahahaha this is the funniest of all
As a electronic music producer for 13 years, ive never had such an enchanting ride through music as exploring what classical has music offered me. Needless to say it has changed my view on music forever. I'm 24 and grateful for the effect these artists have had on me going forward. So much to learn and breathe here from debussy alone.
You produced electronic music at 11 years old which numbs the brain...classical music stimulates the brain. Happy graduation!!
These 2 Arabesques are my favourite pieces that are written by Debussy, although Clair de Lune is also one of my favourites as well. These pieces bring such an elegant and relaxing atmosphere everywhere I go. Debussy is the one of the few post-romantic composers which I adore. The structure of the melodic lines are so magnificently well organized and beautiful. Thank you Debussy for composing such wonderful pieces.
Benson Wang I recommend Erik Satie, he's another great post romantic composer. Listen to gymnopedie no. 1
Benson Wang and Ravel of course
@@hopesonmakokha5217 Dude. I cannot thank you enough. Gymnopedie no. 1. I've loved that piece forever, but never knew the composer or even what it was called. Honestly, thank you.
@@winstonsmith11 hehe you're welcome. I was in a similar situation, I hunted that piece of music trying to discover its title until i finally found it. It's one of my favourites.
I also recommend a piece called Reverie, done by Debussy. And Je te veux by Satie.
you can never go wrong with clair de lune. I just envision myself as a giant roaming through the fields on a starry night, just looking down at earth.
I live alone and become depressed without company but I have found that the laptop can help with Debussy lifting me out of the black hole ! Wonderful music.
Hi William, when did people (family) did not stop care'nty about you ?? Or did they ever ? Just curious, John N Reiter
William Checketts classical music, poetry, and nature been my refuge, my oasis, with them like you said i be feeling so lonely,,,

É indescritivel o sentimento de estar estudando ouvindo uma boa musica classica.
Quando eu ouço uma peça dessas, não consigo me concentrar e acabo preferindo escutar a música e deixar os estudos de lado.
I remember taking long scenic road trips in Nevada when I lived there, and always had this music of Debussy playing (on cassette) and it totally relaxed me and practically put me in a different dimension of time.
This piece is so beautiful reminds me of a beautiful peaceful waterfall. Thank God for blessing this man with this gift 🎹

this was by far the worst comment i've read so far
@@saint_gales in the sense that it gave me flashbacks to 2014 I can def see why you would think that
Probably one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. I'm not classical critic of classical music but I do know what I like. Every line, seems to be effortlessly, written.
The two Arabesques were part of my repertory when I studied piano up through high school . Debussy, like Bach, were for me the most challenging to study and play, but once getting the grasp on the music and interpreting it, a complete exhilarating pleasure . And I always felt it was such an honor to play all these pieces... My favorite bars were 00:38-1:25 , and in the 2nd piece 6:50-7:08. .....I sure do miss it.
debussy pianista sin tiempo y espacio, melodias para un corazon solitario....que viaja al infinito con esta melodia.
Escuché está pieza una tarde después de la lluvia cuando paseaba por un parque. Olor a tierra mojada, las plantas y árboles ofrecían sus fragancias, maravilla....
This is how love feels
Karen Curtis How? I am autist and psychopath, i cant feel what love is. I cry from pain. I deserve it. Once i worked is sos phone line only because o enjoyed listen others suffering. I told my friend i would even pay to work there. But i wanna change my brain so much. I know i am damned. I f... g hate me for having such brain. It isnt my fault. That is how part of my brain functions without any control i can have. It's unfair and brutal. I also cry so much.
Karen Curtis Yeah, when I was listening to this I just imagined the sweetest little concept for a love story/animation. Ahh if only I had the talent/patience/equipment.
Uroš Peteh You can't change who you are, you can learn new skills though. You are not a mistake as a human, it's that you have to find your niche that doesn't harm others while flexxing your mental muscles. The man who created the special effects guitars for KISS and started a whole new level in music was autistic (which can often be accompanied by or confused with psychopathy). Your brain is unique and as such bears specific gifts unique only to you.
You might not experience silly, flighty "puppy love" as described here and what is usually simply the endorphin rush of NEW love but you can try for the longer lasting commitment based love which is more or less the real deal.
@@urospeteh2637 I'd like to speak to you about that Uroš . Think that would be possible?
For a pessimistic approach to love I'd choose Schönberg's "Verklärte Nacht".
Uno de mis favoritos compositores franceses que me acompañó durante todos mis estudios de música !!!! Lo admiro profundamente !!! Gracias maestro !!!!
Hearing this as I watch the sun set above my neghborhood's empty streets. This is how you create unforgettable little moments.
Something about Debussy's style is so elegantly beautiful that it often brings me to tears. Clair de Lune has an even greater effect on me than Arabesque. Two notes and I'm misty-eyed.
Hearing this song piece during those difficult times mast have been breathtaking.
Heavenly Debussy... I am never tired of listening to all his wonderful compositions.
I heard these pieces when I was born, now I became one with the Force.
I used to play this for my son as well.
Air or Police?
The lack of Star Wars comments under this is atrocious
Of course Beethoven is the giant, but DeBussy is the magician! So magical in all he did!
They're also from two different periods so the comparison is a lil silly. From my perspective, all the major romantic period composers were better than the best classical period composers
Noah Corrin It's like comparing Mozart with Chopìn
Com certeza.
Noah Corrin Are you referring Beethoven as a classical-period composer ?
Get out of your heads, all of you. Just listen to this gorgeous piece of music. Everything else... totally unimportant.
Magical!
