Finally a pianist that plays the song in the right tempo and doesn't just rush through the notes
finally someone who lets claire de lune actually breathe
People often play the Prelude WAY to fast, but this interpretation right here is great! Claudio Arrau is the boss.
Agreed 100%. I wish I could find more recordings of people playing it slower like this. Its beautiful, my absolute favourite piece of music.
Your name is funny
SuperMegaPeanut ,
SuperMegaPeanut Yeah I noticed that this sounds better than the other Suite Bergamesque videos
You're right, I have all the concert for piano solo of Beethoveen played by Arrau, love him
the way he played the third piece was impressive, at un poco mosso section, most pianists would rushing the tempo so fast, but he played it calmly and makes it sounds so gorgeous
Yeah, I just found the reason why I thought I didn't like Clair de Lune much, it's simply because most people play it to fast
Claudio Arrau’s performance is unrivaled by any other performances
I always felt cozy listening to this masterpiece
I will never be tired of listening to this masterpiece
I am looking forward to listening to various great performances
From
Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun🇯🇵
I love the way Arrau played Passepied, it didn't sound rushed at all. Amazing!
That's right, this is what this piece wants to express, the feeling of walking in the universe, calming down in oneself, not like many pianists now use this piece as a dazzling skill!!
Love that we can follow the printed music on the screen. Great performance. Thank you.
This interpretation is almost magical!
Agree! Please subscribe to enjoy forthcoming uploads!
@@classicalfullscores5138well well well
Why?
So many people hating on his interpretation but its by far the best i heard. I listened to most suite bergamasque recordings on TH-cam and imo Arrau's unrivaled. There is no such slow interpretation the man is a legend tbh. Btw listen to Debussy playing his own claire de lune lol. Tell him its too fast 😂
Hating? I've never heard the entire suite before and this sounds absolutely beautiful, I don't get how people hate on this
I like to imagine the life of debussy here and the ups and downs of his life, the inspirational moments, curious moments, happy moments, joy, sadness, clarity and wonder. This was marvelous interpretation, wonderful. Thankyou.
I love love love the prelude. Well i love all the suite 💜
Simply wonderful ... no words!
I listen to so many interpretations of this suite but this version is the best by far. Claudio Arrau is still the GOAT.
This is really wonderful. Thanks so much for sharing!
Last movement is so harmonically pleasant to ears :)
Que lindo!! Ótima música para ouvir apreciando uma boa leitura
Just today my piano teacher told me to
start learning the piece. I'm 13, and istg it looks and sounds so hard to learn. After hearing other interpretations I was so surprised by how fast it sounded, because it made the piece sound not as relaxing as my teacher played it and killed my further inside. This interpretation however, made me feel like I was in heaven, and made me more relieved.
I hope you learn this piece well and perhaps some day people will admire your recording on TH-cam 😊
Keep focused in, the way is long but it's always beautiful. I started playing at 15, so your advantage is what we all want. Greetings and good wishes for you
I was just now talking to someone who said they were interested in this piece but wanted to learn something more technically challenging. I pointed out, among other things, that elements of "musicality", like tone, phrasing, voicing, and pedaling are just as much parts of piano technique as playing fast notes. I told them, if they like this and have the time, they should learn it! It's fine to play this slowly if that's how you truly feel it should go.
A fantastic suite of piano music with lots of shifting moods and interesting harmonies. Great piano playing too...
Thanks for upload.I subscribe,like and comment❤
A mí lo que más me impresiona es lo buenísima que es esta música. Lo genial que es Debussy. Es impresionante. No creéis?
Great performance
amazing Clair De Lune
Que belleza! y pensar que el autor al principio no quería que esta obra viese la luz ya que no la consideraba a la altura de sus composiciones más recientes...
Es increíble está pieza musical como te transporta a otro universo o dimensión sentimental.waoooo 💆
Wow, that Clair de lune is interpreted totally differently (i.e much slower) than anything I've heard. It's almost painfully slow at times but I think I like it.
My mom played it, and I like his tempo too.
Too slow and laboured for me
I agree it's painfully slow but i also don't like it :D i think it ruins the flow of the music
Bella
Claude Debussy is my favourite composer. I like the music more then the chopin nocturnes and the Schummann kinderszenen.
I like Debussy more than chopin, beethoven, and schumann too
Best pre-70s music ever made, in my opinion, maybe even best music of all time.
Why the 70s? What artist
passepied sounds like something I'd find in pokemon heartgold
aka I love it
A part of it was actually used in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, for the Game Boy.
Lovely! Compares with my favorite version by Peter Schmalfuss - the full recording of which is not apparently available on YT
thank you
Es tan hermosa.
Grazie
É a interpretação mais arrastada que já ouvi do 1º movimento.
vdd
メヌエットは今のゲームのBGMにありそうな感じだな。こういう現代音楽のもとがドビュッシーになってる曲も案外多いかもな。
Never noticed before. The first part of the Prelude has reminiscences of the Claire De Lune to come. It's kind of an overture.
A prelude is like an overture, but is for another kind of piece
It's good Claude Debussy : Prelude - Minuette - Claire de Lune - Passepied by Claude Arrau
Claudio Arrau holds an unchallenged position as interpreter of Debussy
This splendor of words can not attach it
It's the version like Pakito Palote was upload right?
Mais bon Dieu! Il n'y a personne ici pour parler la langue de Molière! C'est vrai, Debussy était très anglophile et germanophone et cela se ressent un peu partout dans sa musique. Magnifique Suite Bergamasque dont on ne sait même pas quand elle fut composée! En tout cas, c'est Fauré, à coup sûr, qui était dans le collimateur...
la langue de Moliere c'est mort, wake up, now is english, german, chinese...
What about la lingua di Dante Alighieri?
Great but I like Richter's performance much more! Thx;)
Incredibly jazzy
Deleite-me por uma noite suave
i love debussy
What was that in the 2nd measure from the very end? He through in a minor third that isn't in the music.. liked the sound otherwise! :)
where
I know we all have different musical inclinations and feelings regarding interpretation, but the prelude is just too slow for my takes. Pascal Rogè is my authority when it comes to Debussy and I think he nails it. Still expertly played by Arrau, just not for me.
But maybe Claudio Arrau was already in his last years, when recorded that ...
So, rest in peace, amigo!
Flowers are blooming in Antarctica
at 10.27, is it g and f sharp or natural? on my score there are alterations making them natural only on this measure... is that right?
i know im more than 1 year late but i dont know
He s wrong. You re right :)
@@sariputraa18 hours ago no wayyyy after 3 years
why pianists play 1st piece too fast despite the tempo is rubato ??
It is moderato!!!
"Moderato" has about a 10-15 BPM range of interpretation. Arrau is taking it at the absolute slowest extreme for Moderato whereas most pianists take it to the higher end. I would say that Gieseking takes it to the absolute fastest extreme.
Eorzat Oh! Thank you! I couldn't think that way
I like it FAST!

do you happen to have this particular score?
Maybe you find it here: imslp.org/

This score probably comes from a Durand edition from around the turn of the 20th century. This is public domain nowadays, and can be downloaded at IMSLP; Dover also has a reprint of this edition for a reasonable price, compiling a bunch of very worthy Debussy works into a neatly-bound volume called "Piano Music 1888-1905".

Play @ 1.25 speed :P *****((J.K))*****
lily chou chou taught me a debussy
Same :)
Gorgeous playing - although felt to me at times more like Rachmaninov than Debussy :)
Not criticism but his speed at playing clair de lune is like me practicing for the first time
Daniel Roshaidie i think this was the last recording of arrau, he was 87 or 88 years old
I don't know 'bout you guys, but when I hear this interpretation I can feel different emotions that maybe this guy tried to express while playing. Maybe because he speeds down the piece
Why the bleep is Debussy´s music called impressionism? In this great & solid piece he relies heavily on Bachs Solo-suites. (be it for violin, cello or Lute). Further recognizable are chinese pentatonics & things resembling the style of Fauré. Of course Claire de lune serves as school example of "impressionism", but such impressions can be found already in Chopins Preludes. Do I deny Debussy being a great composer? Not at all: If progress means to combine older elements in a new & prolific way, that´s exactly what happened in Suite bergamesque.
Certainly this work could be classified "neoclassical" what with the use of terms like Suite, Prelude, Minuet and Passepied. Wow, his Claire de Lune is amazing - never heard it so slow.
yeah same here. but have you ever heard "images" or "estampes"? sorry for any mistake. english is not my first language
His works are considered impressionistic, because they paralleled the art movements at the time. The impressionistic qualities come out especially in the use of the pedals, creating these huge, beautiful tonal washes and the slight sense of not having as iron clad of a tonal centre as previous music through the use of whole tone scales. A really good example of one of his impressionist works is Nuages, which is stunning by the way. So instead of having a very clear, equally weighted structure like Bach or Beethoven, who are both amazing, Debussy strives more for this beautiful blend between ideas. Being labeled an impressionist doesn't make him a poor composer, most of my favourite composers are in the impressionist era because their works have this wonderful, hazy, dreamlike quality that I often don't get in early works were I get a very vivid, non-hazy mental image. His music also doesn't really parallel the romantic movement, because that movement focused more on: darker, supernatural and more "icky feelings" that was being written about at the time such as works by Göethe. It's the same reason that while Beethoven may be considered the father of Romantic music, he isn't actually considered broadly to be a romantic composer as he still maintained far more elements of the classical era, which he just pushed further and inspired other composers to break from some of the "rigidity" of the classical forms of composition.
Because of Debussy's works I aspire to be able to write in the impressionist style, because of it's beauty and tonal quality.
TL;DR Just because a piece is impressionistic doesn't mean it's not great or solid and can't lean on older styles, it's based on how influenced the composer was by current music trends. i.e much of Handel's life was in the classical era, but he is very much a Baroque composer.
I struggle to say that any of his works can be considered romantic because of the Harmonic Syntax, it doesn't line up with what was occurring in the romantic era, enough. There may be a hint of romanticism here or there, but you'll be hard pressed to find a music history scholar willing to title any of his works as romantic because of my aforementioned reasons.
I still have to say this is more impressionist then late romantic, amicably agree to disagree? :) I've really enjoyed this little comment thread btw.
What is the first piece's name?
It's just called Prelude! It's my personal favorite :D
*movement
What are those squiggly lines connecting the bass clef with treble clef for (2nd bar and 6th bar @ 1:22)?
You're supposed to play the chord in an "fastly escalated mode", so, don't play all the notes at once but one after the other as fast as possible to make it seem like its at the same time.. but its not
The chord is rolled, i.e. arpeggio, but very quickly. Traditionally, the directive is understood as rolled from the lowest note and ascending;
if the roll is from top to bottom, a small arrow head pointing down will be at the bottom of the marking.
Ah ok thanks guys for your help
Isnt it just a slur that goes from right hand to left?
Slur bruh
For some reason, I think the prelude is too slow.
Beautiful but too slow, I think it was intended play concept.
I actually think that the 4th movement has a bit of Bach material...
Where, exactly?
Nope.
можно погромче начинать, пожалуйста
Um pouco lento demais, principalmente no 4o movimento
i’m
prelúdio muito lento mds kkk
Nice performance...but yes too slow at times...and needs a little more life.
with all my respect to Arrau, I see no magic in his performance....
Extremely slow tempos in all the pieces! There's no difference between character of different genres...
Seems like it's not "Bergamasque suite", but one loooooong "Claire de lune" in 4 parts....
As if this work's been composed by Monsieur Claude Slowdown.... ))
Sorry, pretty, but it's a dance !
Prelude way too slow. It’s in 2/4 as semiquavers that’s way too slow and it makes the piece sound uninteresting. Hate this interpretation of prelude
Hate is a strong word :(
No denying Arrau was a great pianist, but...wow. This interpretation is a slog.
come on!! the first is too slow! at 1.25 velocity it could be perfect but not like this! awful
Too slow
Sorry, I think I'll pass. I SEE what he was trying to do but he ends up killing poor Debussy.
EFBensonFan Why do you say that?
Prelude too slow, menuet too, pasepied could be more lively
Hey there! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the tempo in this piece. It's always interesting to hear different perspectives on musical elements.
Music is a beautiful art form precisely because it allows for various interpretations. Tempo, just like many other aspects of music, can be quite subjective and depends a lot on personal taste and emotional connection.
In this piece, the artist might have chosen specific tempos to convey a particular mood or emotion. Some may appreciate a faster pace for the energy it brings, while others might prefer a slower tempo for a more reflective and deliberate feel.
It's like looking at a painting; different people might see different things or feel different emotions. Similarly, everyone brings their unique perspective to music, and that's what makes discussions like these so enriching.
It's awesome that you're actively engaging with the music and sharing your thoughts! Remember, there's no right or wrong when it comes to musical preferences. It's all about what resonates with you personally.
what a bad interpretation... I must it myself with my feet as well
There's no such thing as a bad interpretation, it's one's interpretation after all..
Classical Full Scores I would agree if I had no reference for this piece. but there are so many great recordings that you can grade them. this one is paled by them.
Agree, is not played like the score showed, but is not a bad interpretation. Is played in a Chopin Nocturnes way.
So a good interpretation means to be played perfectly as the paper says? If you think like that, that's so sad. As a composer and arranger, I love when people play my music and suggest different things, because I think that you should play what you feel.
Your comment is dissappoin
