I play more Ravel in these days (to fill a gap in my musical knowledge) but Debussy is still my favorite. Though technical challenging, the real hard part is to get the musical aspect right so that it evokes the depicted scenery, and the fireworks really boom and sparkle, the rain really hazes the landscape, and so on. Thanks for this presentation! I look forward to the next one!

after lots of years of listening and some years of playing piano (i’m a student myself) there’s still no composer that brings me such joy and emotions like Debussy. Not even Mozart, or Beethoven, or Prokofieff, or Ravel. Not even Bach. There’s a single piece by him that I wouldn’t listen all over and over.

I like this kind of content. It helps me, as an amateur, to find new horizons of beauty, inspiration and experience. I think many will agree that without a proper environment, it is quite difficult to understand the full scope and scale of composers work. Videos like this just help a lot. Thank you for what you do for yourself and for us :)

Shutian, it's a pleasure to hear actual music from a KZreadr for once. Thanks for uploading and playing. Good luck with your continued studies at the Royal Academy and also with competitions I'm sure you have coming up.

Amazing piano technique you have and in-depth of Debussy. It changed my view about Debussy's music! Thanks! 👏👏👏

Your piano skills are insane! And these videos are very enjoyable, thanks a lot creating them!

SO BEAUTIFUL AS ALWAYS!!!!! Thank you for my favourite Debussy and for your excellent performances of these excerpts, your video will be helpful for many people, again my best wishes from Poland to England, have a nice weekend. Joanna

Really great! Thanks for making this channel.

When you realize Shutian’s lvl 1 piece is more like my lvl 8 piece😭😭

Imagine my joy when I found this gem of a video! I have played most of these pieces (except 5-7), very nice interpretation! Best wishes to you!

Shutian, well played and as with all good playing, one can glory in Debussy's genius with your playing and the astute selections you have picked. Debussy was gifted, a genius, and so underestimated because his harmonic genius was masked in total melodious harmony. If one looks at all of the Debussy compositional output, one is baffled at the breadth, the richness and the beauty of what he composed. The range of composition is truly vast and I think he touched all levels of musical beauty with the depth of his compositional ability.

Hey Shutian! Your video is really good as usual. Really congrats for your videos. I love them so much. Please keep this serie up! I want Beethoven and Bach too! Take care!

You’re incredible!!! Thank you for these videos!!

Great dynamics. Definitely the hardest part of Debussy. You are awesome!

Thank you so much for putting these videos back on your channel, they always gave me a genuine motivation to sit down and work on my repertoire :) i'm learning some Kapustin right now, if you know about him

That was AMAZING, Shutian!!! Holy cows, sacred beef... all the wows hehe. That thirds etude? NO THANKS! And yeah, Debussy can be hard af! Also I like that you bleeped out the title of the first one :).

I think the happy island piece should really be 7 (maybe even 8). That is a very hard piece to polish-up and has a great deal of work required. Reflections in the water and the third's etude are more uniform in the technique required.

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!

god I love Debussy - also you killed those pieces man (in the best way possible)

Mighty fine playing!! Awesome my friend!!

4:13 i really like your tempo and pedalling here, you have the best interpretation imo i heard so far

I really appreciate these difficulty level videos, as it gives me an idea of what I can and can't write for the piano as a composition student :)

Well, say no more. I AM impressed! What control you have, Shutian. Good luck with your future endeavors.

wow you are amazing as usual!

I just want to say I’m very impressed with your interpretations

haahh once again,,, nailed every piece in this list 😔 give me some of your secret powers 😩 that aside,, keep it up!! 8 levels of prok maybe?? (or maybe try some form of music e.g. 8 levels of piano concerto 👀)

Man, this hit me so hard remember myself that i need tô practice kkkkkkkkkk that is amazing! Thank u for the post

Very nice, Shutian! You are inspiring. I play only 5 Debussy pieces, and am a level 3 of 8 for him.

Love your videos!!!

Clearly, you are very accomplished and I hope you won’t take my small criticism the wrong way, but I noticed some odd phrasing in even the first piece. I might have put 2 and 3 the other way round in the order but in truth, almost all Debussy is a technical challenge at some level. I am generally and genuinely impressed overall. Thank you.
