Clair de Lune is an example of “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. In this case, don’t judge a piece without looking and analyzing the music sheet first.

My point was that a piece in 9/8 does not have nine beats in a bar, it has three - it's compound triple time. So you should count 1 x y 2 x y 3 x y, where x and y are some subdivision syllables - and I presume these will vary by region or teacher.

@guillaumepinard936

The exactly counting is 1 2 3 in dotted quater note that’s its. you must to feel each dotted quater note. The firts one must be feel like if you exhale more heavyweight and relax all the tension, and the second and the third must be inhale more light. you always must feel a circle To each bars of music with your wrist cause wrist breathe. the circle begins to the bottom with the first time. And goes up with the other time and start again with the first time to the next music bar. All the piano’s music must be played like that, cause you group your music bar in single gesture

This pianist needs a lot more attention and subscribers because her piano playing and technique is unbelieve. “Whose with me”

Honestly kinda love that the alarm startles her, because it shows how into the music she gets, forgets about the world, then the alarm brings her back to reality

Why is nobody talking about how pretty she is?

The first three seconds are gold. It’s me, each minute of my piano practicing.

It is so heart warming to see such a beautifully talented young artist striving for the best. I am 78 and just starting to learn what I always wanted to learn, Claire de Lune. Better late than never. Thank you Annique, you inspire me.

I've definitely spent several days with this piece. I appreciate seeing someone fairly accomplished make many of the same inevitable flubs with fingering (admittedly, she gave herself very little time) but it reminds me that regardless of how accomplished you are, we need to go through the same learning curve. Some of us walk it faster than others, but we all must walk it. Debussy's music has tremendous room for finesse and expression, so can continually teach us the more we work with it. Thank you for an amazing video!

Impressive as always! I love this piece!

Aaah, fangirling! Debussy is my favorite and it’s always nice to hear musicians play his pieces. So it’s even more exciting for me to see you pick this for this challenge. I really love hearing you play. Love this series of yours and def one of my fave classical pianists! ✨

I do love these challenges you do. They throw up some real gems. The way you played the temp rubato passage is lovely.

I love how you show your "learning a piece" process. People are often used to see the final result, but not to knowing how heavy the process of learning a piece can be. Even professional pianists need time to prepare something as huge as this piece, and as a pianist I think Annique job's with this challenge is brutal... Really amazed

That was beautiful. You did better in 1hr than I've been able to do in 2 months of practice. Claire de Lune is my favorite piece. You are amazing.

The most beautiful tune ever composed, hardly a evening goes by without this being sampled for an advert.

@@jdun1 cause Liebestraum is not too complex for sight-reading. Don't get me wrong, it's not easy. There are a couple of cadenza-like moments that take a bit more time, but it's not like her end results are concert-ready performances, nor are they intended to be. On the other hand, I've seen people with some extraordinary sight reading skills who could probably sight read the entire Friska section (mentioned in the comment section earlier) with no problem, not to mention Liebestraum. So it all depends on the individual, I guess.

I adore music and play a bit of guitar and don't know anything about piano but the way you went about how you were learning this piece gave me goosebumps, the care in your fingers, hand gesture ,gentle smile in some notes(think i show two)man made me fall in love with music all over again. Thank you Annique P.S your video came randomly in my notification which I'm not complaining at all

This music is my favorite of all classic musics. Just wonderful!

i can just listen to you talking and still complete my assignments, its just so soothing.

Thanks so much for playing Clair de Lune, you made my day! I really hope to be able to play this some day it's one of my favorite songs.

What’s really enjoyable here, is that it begins to seem like you’re writing this piece as you go along. One can more easily imagine Debussy writing it. You’re also such a delicate, expressive player! Mesmerizing to watch! Like a ballerina who also plays piano…🥰

In the last performance at the beginning I was following the score, very soon I forgot about the score and simply enjoyed watching Annique playing that wonderful music. Pretty enjoyable performance.

Amazing as always!

Thankyou, I found this on a free website yesterday. Very pretty. I really appreciate being able to read the music as you play. It helps me correct myself as I only went to third grade classical but think I can play this one.

15:30 -- "WTF are these sharps doing here?" My feelings exactly when I reached that part. I'm impressed how quickly you got rhythms down where I (as an amateur) am still struggling!

Mearure 27 is where I am scratching my head... and measure 29... I have no idea what to do. I can't help but fall in love with musical talent like yours and the humility in which you present.

One of my favorite pieces to listen to and play! Well done!

I love this piece, one of my `dream pieces` that I wanted to learn. I finally did it last year after playing a couple of other Debussy songs to get a better hang for it. the first Arabesque helped me a lot rhythmically because the hands play 3 notes against 2 for pretty much the whole song and it changes which hand plays de 3 notes sometimes.

It took me one year to get through...I still haven't got it completely right. But it's a beautiful piece and your learning curve is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

This piece was my first real project my teacher gave me I put a lot of effort in. Learned it in Summerbreak 2018. Always come back to it since it introduced me to real classical piano. Am 17 now and by no means a good pianist but Debussy remained a big part and I've learned a lot more from him since. Oh und Grüße aus Baden Württemberg :)

It's really encouraging to see a classical pianist struggling this much! Usually you only get to see pianists in "performance mode" when everything is perfect.

Your vids are awesome, they trigger a mix of feelings inside me. So good

この人のピアノは暖かいと思う、 速いフレーズもしっかり弾く技術に妥協しない演奏も素晴らしいと思います。

One of my favorite classical pieces to listen to. I've never figured out the timing. I've always thought it was played in free time whenever I listen to it.

Cheers.

Wow ,these videos of her always motivate me a lot for practicing, btw she is so cute!

Learning Arabesque No1 right now, and your information about Debussy was very helpful!

Absolutely a nice approach!

Deceptively simple, when it’s played without understanding then it’s pretty but when played as intended it creates a whole moment in time, setting sun, gentle rise of the moon and lifts us up into the very light itself. Dankeschön.

I really like your videos, I learn and have a lot of fun at the same time! Keep the good work!

Such a lovely piece. I just downloaded this and printed it yesterday and started working it. It is probably a bit beyond my level but if I simplify I can get the first couple of pages nicely until I hit the arpeggios. Going to have to tear those apart to get them right but I'm loving the sound of this piece. It is so beautiful.

Love this. Thanks for sharing it.

Woo I'm so excited!

Very nice! And thank you for doing Claire de Lune; this is something I want to do myself, soon. I've played a couple of the preludes, and you're right; Debussy is very prescriptive in his scores. My teacher says over-prescriptive." While the notes themselves are clear, his performing hints are sometimes as vague as Satie. "Gradually emerging from the fog" or "ethereal and muffled." Or "with tender and sad regret." On the other hand, 9/8 can be fun. Take a look some time at Dave Brubeck's Blue Rondo a la Turk. 9/8 switches between 2-2-2-3 and 3-3-3, then the whole thing shifts to 4/4 for a while. And back. As with Claire de Lune, being strict about tempo is crucial. Again, thank you for this one!

Thank you very much for this piece. Something I can play finally.

I love all the suite bergamasque! That's amazing!

THANK YOU. This is really helpful for me, because I have been tinkering with piece for years, but never yet got it quite right. I realised I have NEVER stopped to accurately count out the pulse. Your first play-through sounded exactly like all mine do, and I was thinking, “ok this sounds fine what’s the problem”… but then you annotated the score, and I realised, omg, I am doing the exact same thing. I play that bit too short, and that bit too long, etc. I never really noticed how complex the rhythm actually is, because I always let myself off the hook with rubato. Great video :)

your form is wonderful.
