Debussy - Arabesque No.1 and No.2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ก.พ. 2014
- The Two Arabesques (Deux arabesques), L. 66, is a pair of arabesques composed for piano by Claude Debussy when he was still in his twenties, between the years 1888 and 1891.
Although quite an early work, the arabesques contain hints of Debussy's developing musical style. The suite is one of the very early impressionistic pieces of music, following the French visual art form. Debussy seems to wander through modes and keys, and achieves evocative scenes through music. His view of a musical arabesque was a line curved in accordance with nature, and with his music he mirrored the celebrations of shapes in nature made by the Art Nouveau artists of the time. Of the arabesque in baroque music, he wrote:
“that was the age of the ‘wonderful arabesque' when music was subject to the laws of beauty inscribed in the movements of Nature herself.”

He hasn't dropped an album since 108 years ago. Is he ok?
💀💀
LOL - instead of Dubstep it would be Deb-step
nah he’s just taking a break
He said he’s gonna take a break for now til he studies electronic music enough to create Debstep music.
@@randomisntavailable that's actually really deep xd
My Mother would play this flawlessly when I was a child. She went to heaven 6.25.19. God rest her soul.
now she gets to see it played live. lucky lucky soul!!
@@jaytotheell Thank you.
for me, my grandmother.
Your mother sounds like a very talented woman. Rest in peace.
She's probably met the composers that she loves during her lifetime above. That's a happy thing to know.
Debussy has the power to make you forget all troubles and feel almost weightless
Debussy does that

This piece is enough to convince anyone to start learning the piano

do you guys think experience with a guitar translate to piano or at least make it easier to learn?
and I plax again aged 72; I lernt it, when i was 16.....
@@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.

This guy is still hearting comments 7 years later, what a legend.
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

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 :/ )
Your English is excellent! Be confident, i wish you the very best.
Congratulations, I like Debussy
I love it too. I wish I could play.. your English is perfect.😊😘
good luck, you can do it!
I‘m reading this comment a year later and I’m curious. How did your piano lessons go? did you keep at it?
I heard this piece when I was 0.245 nanoseconds old and now I’m a interstellar quantum quasar
Stop

I heard this 27.5 lightyears away now im in the crab nebula
Godspeed, brother

Debussy’s piano pieces sound like Monet’s paintings

Woaw ! 😍
Synesthesia...
monets paintings dont sound like anything. theyre paintings
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
This was 9 months ago, how are you and your crush now?

Every time I listen to Debussy, I feel like I'm under water.
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 !
Same
Thats a very nice explanation
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.
I lost my mom yesterday. Arabesques inspire me hope and strength to keep on fighting.
im so sorry for your loss friend
Almost a year ago and it feels like yesterday. So sorry for your loss.
The LORD bless her and keep her.
Thank you...
Stay strong, buddy...
A piece of Heaven on Earth.
"Arabesque no. 1" in particular is so dreamy. I just imagine myself in a Mediterranean coastal town on a warm summer's day.
Sounds like rain talking to you

Exactly.
I listened to this when I was a concert pianist. Now I’m 12 years old

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.
if this were my alarm ringtone, i’d never wake up :)
It is not a song.
So you've wasted the last 14 years?
It’s NOT a song!
Debussy est mon compositeur préféré... Ces œuvres sont des parenthèses enchantées dans ce drôle de monde et époque dans laquelle nous vivons. Savourer chacune de ses notes est une gourmandise absolue. Une bulle de plaisir... Prenez soin de vous, de ceux qui vous entourent. Et profitons de ces moments de volupté que la musique nous offre...
Bien écrit! Et Ravel...
MARTIENNE YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL ADORABLE SEDUCTIVE RAVISHING CAPTIVATING AND PASSIONATE MARRY ME ❤
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 was thinking the exact same thing about this interpretation, and stopped to see who the pianist was and it wasn't listed. Thank you for posting.
They should be credited but I am not quite a fan of this weird rushed tempo
We agree....perfect interpretation.....by far!!!!! Pg mp Paris
That's right. From the album "Debussy Piano Works". I have that CD, it's from the late 90s I think.
true... I forgot to even think about it. thank you
I fell in love with these pieces 20 years ago. Now I am a concert pianist.
As in you give concerts for a living?
Yes. Recordings too.
Woww! That's an amazing story Luke 😁 best of luck, hope to see your concert someday.
Luke Faulkner I wish be u in 20 years 🙂 cause i fall in love of this music. Could u give me your luck ?😋
Congratulation, dream comes true
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.

I fell in love with these pieces years ago. Now I'm a puzzle.

This made me laugh so hard
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.

That would be frustrating hearing an awesome song you've never heard before and not being able to Shazam it because you're a fetus.
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
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
Thank you.

Claude Debussy was the first impressionist composer, reminds me of when impressionists were a thing with their art and stuff.

Debussy's style is so dreamlike. Clair de Lune and Arabesque 1 are perhaps the greatest examples
Thu Ha Nguyen as well as reverie, which even though Debussy despised, continues to be one of his creations, and therefore a beautiful masterpiece.

Not gonna lie, they had us in the first half.
Arabesque n° 1 is so relaxing, I listen to it when I want to be calm. What a masterpiece!!
Arabesque no.1 reminds me of a painting and then someone wet the canvas to let the paint drip.

Wtf? 😂

the fucking in the hole
All great composers eventually decompose.
hahahaha this is the funniest of all
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
Debussy played the piano like a harp. Heavenly ❤
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.
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".
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
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.

Put his whole Debussy into this
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
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...
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.
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 is by far the most intoxicating of the modern classical composers. He captures so much of the mood with his compositions
Il y a très longtemps Debussy est entré dans ma vie , il ne devait plus me quitter un rêve perpétuel. . .
The french definitely know how to compose music that touches the heart!
Amy Mannheimer merci
Ravel is not the case..
Андрей музыкального таланта Have you ever heard Le Tombeau de Couperin “Toccata”? I personally think that song can touch one’s soul but in a different manner than most other pieces. The fact that it was composed for the dead that Ravel had lost in the war and on opening night, Marguerite Long played the piece for her dead husband and played it once again because of how well the public received it. A beautiful story and a beautiful piece, in my opinión,

The beauty of Debussy is unmatched and incomprehensible. He is truly the reason why us humans live, to enjoy such masterpieces such as this.
I couldn't agree more!
I love playing Debussy because of how loose it is. It's much freer and the player really is able to make it unique and personal. Beautiful music that transforms with each musician!

Agree. You can push Debussy all over the place and it sounds great regardless. Not so with Chopin, Beethoven or, least of all, Bach.

The melody falls down like a flurry of beauty
This song makes me appreciate the more smaller more finer things in life just a little bit more
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 first heard this piece 5 years ago.
Now I can almost afford a piano.

Très bien musique, Claude Debussy. Bonjour!!
Une musique refraichissante et toujours d'actualité malgré le temps,
Quel moment de détente !
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.
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.

I heard this pieces when I was a second old. Now I'm kinetic energy.
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

Do you know who is playing??
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.
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!!
I always love Debussy's works. It's not overwhelming, and beautiful.
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.
Para mí es un prodigio de belleza musical

It feels like I'm on top of mountain, free, loved and filled with happiness
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.
