"magical moment" should be adopted as a new technical term in music.

Are you a composer? I think "Magical Moment: étude-divertimento on Debussy's expressionism" would be an awwwwsome title for a very modern piece of music! If I had the gift of composing I would try! Hope someone uses the idea! : )

@@deniskomoda6423 nope! I would hope that whoever adopted that musing wouldn’t turn into into something too avant-garde. I prefer to think of Debussy as more of an impressionist and later French like Ravel as expressionist, but I like where you’re headed!

These are the wisest words I've ever heard on how to play Debussy's pieces.

the polyrhythm tip at 9:30 helped me so much. this piece helps with my anxiety so i made it a goal for me to learn it because the 3/2 notes posed a challenge and i wanted to push myself. your video helped my playing sound more cohesive. thank you ♡

Thank you for the 3-on-2 hint @9:30. Treating it as one rhythm (with the excellent ba-m-m-ba) makes it very to understand.

Holy crap for days I was struggling with this part and now I understand it

So refreshing to have the wonderful Noriko Ogawa giving such a brilliant insight into Claude Debussy's Arabesque No.1 ... She is certainly an inspiration to me and many more millions around the World for her magical playing and more so her involvement to the work she does for the autistic foundation in the United Kingdom. I seem to absolutely love the Yamaha AvantGrand N3x however it's way overpriced here in Australia. I would love to own one at some stage. Thank you Noriko for your passion in sharing your absolute mastership and knowledge in such a graceful and humble way. Please continue with these sessions as I look forward everyday to hear on the Yamaha AvantGrand N3x. Thank You :)

Thank you for a most enjoyable lesson, warmly presented with wonderful playing, giving a very clear insight in issues to be addressed, helpful explanations and numerous useful tips.

Nice to hear some good advice, but would have liked overhead camara and to see the pedalling, which is so important in Debussy.

Thank you for illuminating this piece so beautifully. Now I will approach it much more enlightened. Thank you again.

She plays so beautifully. Piano is pretty good too.

Thank you

You play like an angel

Beautiful!

Wow, just wow.

I very much enjoyed this video. I'm presently working Debussy's Girl with the Flaxen Hair. To be able to master Arabesque No. 1 at some point in my piano future would be a milestone dream come true ! Thank you for this.

Very clear - thank you.

Loved the performance lessons! Although I'm not in that level yet... Was expecting rather a "magical" solution on how to start learning the piece! Lol

excellent lesson. Thank you

Very lovely lesson ,thank you so much.

Beautiful 👏🏻😍

Wish they'd do more of these. Love her tips and the AvantGrand N3X.

Thank you so much for your advices💞

Crystal Clear❤

Inspirational lesson thank you! Great balance of technical and artistic advice. Really encouraging. Please do some more of these short pithy tutorials!

Could be nice with a camera above next time, thank you

Wonderful lesson thank you

I applaud maestra Ogawa for excellent English diction at her explanation. It is also not less important to add tips how to interpret this piece to the learners while technical tips are very valuable and exceptionally helpful.

Thank you noriko. I would say this is more “Masterclass” than lesson/tutorial though. Thank you. 😊

this is so usefullll thanksss

quite good teaching on the piece, learn a lots !!! thank you very much !

リアルな響きはデジタルピアノの得意分野ですから、リスト等はいいのでしょうが、ドビュッシーはどうだろう？と思って聴きました すばらしいの一言に尽きます ヤマハは芸術のためにCFXを作り、私たち普通の愛好家にはクラビノーバを提供してくれる なんて美しいピアニシモ！

She's very beautiful

Very clear teaching. Thank you. Maybe time didn't allow, but I would have appreciated guidance on the sections you omitted, e.g. bars 47-54 and bars 89-98.

This was brilliant. Oh that I wish the great musical schools around the world would create pro bono digital classes like this to teach piano. I believe with all my heart and soul that out it would come a generation of brilliant pianist who would otherwise never get such training. In fact all the instruments. Can you imagine the kind of world we could live in if more people could fulfil their dreams of playing the the instrument of their choice. I can only dream of such a world.

Thank you so much for the lesson. It is great joy to see and listen. There are lots of more details and sections to cover. Even two hours would not be sufficient to teach us. I think Rubato playing is never something to play too much, and I find your comment regarding Rubato necessary. It comes naturally when this impressionist "painting" is well understood. More often, Rubato can destroy a piece and is a sign of bad taste when overdone. The polyrythms may need a separate lesson? The instruction in this video about this 2 against 3 is too short, I believe. Different voices in this piece could possibly be separated more and presented with more dynamics? Again, to my taste: the end tone could even be softer, little longer than a quarter, releasing the pedal graduately, not abruptly... Well, it is very good that you are here! I enjoy it very much..)))

I don't play the piano but, with this lesson it looks easy !

But if I follow on my script you miss the end of the second last page - what I suppose would be called a "coda" - why ?

I'm currently working on this piece and am trying to figure out the overall dynamic scheme. Is there a climax section somewhere? Does the dynamic level just vary throughout or is there some overall dynamic structure? Help!

@pivotmaster9556

the is definitely a climax at the resoluto after the middle section finishes

Is this from Kafka on the Shore?

Well done! I just uploaded this too :)!

The first performance of this piece I heard was ruined by the Forte being too strong. I didn't like that part at all until I heard it played more softly, like instructed here

I want a full version of song without teaching

Better than josh wright

very thoughtful and beautiful playing, but the advice on how to play the piece is totally useless for someone who could not play it technically.

you cannot force someone to feel soemthing that's right, but you can teach artists how to evoke certain feelings in a consumer, thats what commercials do all the time.

She talks about beauty, but the instrument doesn't sound beautiful at all. So what is she talking about? When she demonstrates 2 against 3 she is just banging brutally. Of course her sound has to do with the instrument, but why doesn't she play a decent one?
