Beautifully played and sounding.
just watched. amazing. thank you
clair de lune....thanks.
One of my favourite pieces and you played it beautifully. The performance was as gorgeous to my eyes as it was in my ears.
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece ❤️ greetings from the Netherlands ❤️❤️🙏
She definitely does not skip her 40 hours of practice each day...
The power of ling ling
LING LING FORTY HOURSSS
Ling ling 40 hours.
Ling Ling's proud
i come here to watch this video every now and then, did not expect ling ling gang
Got the tabs? I just learned smoke on the water.
LMAO

Hahaha
BRO LMAO
Well. I'd left a post here about how there are many ways of learning a song, tbs, by sound by watching etc. But I guess it verged, completely unintentionally, on creepy and it got excised -(that's just as well, I'd intended to edit it anyway)
My parents favorite.
May they both rest in peace.
Thank you.
Beautiful.
This was one of my Mom's favorite piano pieces. She would have loved this guitar rendition, but I'm a bit too late as she passed away 4 months ago. So I thought of her throughout this video. Thank you for the creative, delicate, and emotional care you gave it!
Hi Craig. Very sorry about your Mom's passing.
Hoping the Lord will bless you with His peace and comfort, and this composition will help with that.
God Bless...
@@kenwbrenner Thank you for your well wishes. Very, very few strangers would take the time to do that. So, I'm most definitely compelled to acknowledge your kindness and giving nature!
@@craigjohnson4302 It is my blessing to do so, hoping you will be blessed...
Im with Ken. Sorry for your loss ,Craig.
@@papaw2937 Thank you!
she makes it sound like this piece was made for guitar
Truly. I am shocked by this rendering. Incredible arrangement too.
Yes, she does! And what a gorgeous, captivating arrangement. Some really transcendent moments.
That's because guitar and piano have a lot of things in common with how they produce sound, so of course the notes timbre will be largely similar, as opposed to how it would be with a violin or trumpet.
foreal. it's crazy.
@@Leonhart_93 you should listen the Oistrakh version, breathtaking. Of course the piano remains the best, Kocsis version of course 🤗 this is nice but I wish she didn't have to jump octavs, it breaks the melody line, maybe in another tonality ?
someone should make a piano arrangement of this!!
Lol.
Lol
Lol.
Lol.
Lol.
I didn't think it would be possible to do this song justice on a guitar. Absolutely nailed it!
Indeed she did!
I was thinking the same. Incredible!
Prefer this to the piano version.
A five year old could do this song justice. It’s trash.
@@sitarnut Both guitar & piano versions are worthy. A 5 year old child can sing pure song to life and loving life living!
Just exquisite. There are few things in this world which justify human existence more undeniably than this sublime melody. Thank you, Roxane for a flawless performance.
It is magical how the next note is always the one that you want to hear - and it never dissapoints
A different note ... and there would be ... diminishment.
sometimes you don’t even know you want it until it plays
wow... I love your comment so much.
I wouldn't be able to think of a better way to put it
agreed, even the minor notes are the one that i want imagine to hear it!👌
I didn't even think this was possible on a guitar.
It is almost impossible. I'm trying.
So much is, this music so good
I think she has transposed from the original Db, to D for the guitar. Still sounds wonderful. :-)
EDIT: After listening side by side with piano rendition, they are in the same key, so the guitarist must have detuned by a half-step. :-)
I didn't either, that was impeccable, and of course, sublime. Bravissima!
Breath taken away at the first note for this very reason. I've tried it too and failed hard.
People who only listen may have their breath taken away for one reason. People who play may be astounded for another. Wow.
Imagine sitting in the same room and being able to experience this live. Truly a wonderful guitarist!
Yes" seria raro " casi siempre lo hago es x civer espacio osea tras el vidrio ho espejo dd ti mismo alli " ho forma visual de estar made " individualmente asiendo ho percisionando un sonido ho voz " de forma de interpretar un sonido" pero si " estando tu.

Bravo
Of all the wonderful things I have seen in my 68 years...seeing and hearing this rendition is truly a marvelous moment. Thank you for your hours of practice and your diligence in coming to an understanding of the aura of this great music. From the bottom of my heart.
I’m 5’ 7” and I like it too.
I see an infinite number of hours of practice in this video.
Pandas really can see the future!
Ling ling oh i gonna practice...
I don't want to undermine this guitarist as she is very talented with beautiful technique. But I wanted to say this piece isn't as complex as it seems and something you can very much work your way up to with an intelligent practice routine.
@@alexhoward1884 Like all beautiful masterpieces.....there are parts that are easy....then there are parts of complexity. Putting it all together is what seperates the masters and the rest of us. Good luck on your journey .....I hope to maybe one day capture the beauty this artist holds.
Do you mean a lot, or infinite? Just asking becauseonly one makes sense.
I just looked at my guitar. I swear it's laughing at me.
Segovia once said..."The guitar maintains its natural beauty at the hands of the novice." Embrace the level of skill you have today. Its all about the journey....enjoy !
Guitar:
Do this to me!!
I dare you
yours too...? I thot it was just all of mine....
fkers!
I once had a thought when I heard a piece of music, "I could never, ever, not in a MILLION BILLION YEARS play like that".
Then I realized that I had absolutely nothing to lose by trying and went to buy a guitar.
The first piece of music I ever tried to learn on the guitar was the Koyunbaba Suite... Not exactly beginner fare.
It took a few years, but the love of the one piece kept drawing me forward to learn more and more and while I'm certainly no concert master, I can now play 20-30 minutes of reasonably engaging repertoire.
I can even play the first 3 movements of the Koyunbaba Suite.
I had a setback a few years ago when I played the piece for my grandmother on hear deathbed from the other side of the world. I didn't have much else of value to share with her as she was reaching out to her loved ones to make her feel like she had lived a good life. She stopped me as the emotional climax was building in the third movement and said it was too sad. We talked briefly after that and that was the last time we spoke.
The piece is interpretative and can change flavor depending on the mood of the person playing. I was in a dark place at that time in my life and I think it came through. I have had a lot of trouble studying past that point because of it and the piece brought me to tears several times since then until I had to let it go. Even now, it takes tremendous effort to practice it and my eyes well up just writing this brief account. But in the end, I suppose that means that I was able to play it meaningfully, even if it was reflecting too much sadness.
But this story wouldn't have happened if I hadn't tried. It would have simply been an awkward phone call where she asked me if I had any girlfriends or had thought about maybe making a family some day, while several of my cousins had delighted her with their small children and fresh life. Instead, I have something bittersweet, that is a reminder of what is important in life from a person who was and is still extremely important to me, in a way that I will never forget.
@@eschelar Thank you for sharing your story. Mine is quite different, but when I feel depressed somehow I end practicing with my guitar just to fill the void. I began with Asturias, by Albeniz. I'm still not capable of playing at the right speed and I haven't learned half of the piece yet, but even if I learn to play another 4 or 5 notes, I feel better. However, that piece alone kept me trying and I have learned a few other (easy) pieces that make me fell like I'm making progress.
I've heard so many versions of Clair De lune, both guitar and piano, this is by far my most favorite. Can't put my finger on why I keep coming back to this. Just hits me on such a deep level. I get very pensive and philosophical when I hear this version.
ok, cool!
The technique displayed here is perfect. The subtlety of whole notes and quick single notes is wonderful and that’s so hard to do. Plus mixing in harmonics in between all those quick changes is just such amazing talent
Nothing better than the sound of Debussy.
proto-jazz is what DeBussy sounds like. He's my favorite.
queef
Always finish on Debussy, never finish on the Bach
this is what good debussy sounds like.
In Debussy*
I am very excited to tell you all that I am now in the process of recording my debut solo album for release later this year. To start with I will be releasing my live performance of Clair de Lune on all music platforms worldwide on May 7th. You can enjoy it here: lnk.to/RECDL
Best !
Pin this to be at the top so everyone can see it right away..... ❤️❤️❤️
Nice
thank you so much for you music. After 8 years of coming up with plenty of excuses to not get a new guitar after my old one broke, watching this video inspired me to get a new one. I can not wait to learn this score and look forward to hearing more from you.
You are awesome
Congratulations! I have wanted to own a recording of your interpretation of Clair de Lune for a long time and I'm equally excited to hear anything else you record for the album!
I actually love coming back to listen to this. As much as I enjoy the original piece on piano, this rendition is played so beautifully and somehow feels more fitting...magnificent.
To me, it doesn't feel more fitting, just different. Love it on a piano, as well as listening to her play it. Sounds great on harp, too czcams.com/video/vVTPbLhlbfI/video.html
The most beautiful version I have ever heard. Played with such emotion .
If people only knew how much harder this is to play on guitar than piano there would be like a trillion more likes on this video.
It really isnt that difficult to play on piano anyway though, it just sounds like it because of all the arpeggios
Springboob Squirepin Yes, that always helps, too.
Indeed. I got a guitar and can't lie, it's confusing. I also had quite a hard time holding strings on the fretboard, the tone would go off. You had to be precise, just to get a note sounding as it should
Lazy Yandere Yeah, this is a highly underrated performance.
In my opinion, i mean yeah it is harder to play on guitar, but it is also not easy to play on piano too. I think people like the piano better because clair de lune has been known with a piano and its also nice to hear on piano. But the guiitar man, masterpiece.
1. She plays 9/8 on guitar
2. She plays a piano piece
3. She plays it up to tempo
4. No accidental muted sounds
5. PLAYS THE HARD PART THAT I CAN'T FRICKEN DO ON PIANO...
Kill me
Samuel Yang "she plays 9/8 on guitar" so what lol
Nossi cuz for drums you purposely to play to feel the beat again, on a guitar it's not that simple
Ha ha Sam... love your sense of humor, "kill me" is perfect..I feel the same way every time I listen to Bill Evans, Paul Desmond or Julian Bream playing this: czcams.com/video/Ua4x1UEvm3s/video.html
About the piano thingy...
It's not that hard once you've mastered those hand-wrenching arpeggios on your left hand
6. She is very beautiful
The way she holds that guitar, like a dear cherished lover.
It never occurred to me that this piece could be played on the guitar, but this is a wonderful arrangement and performance. Congratulations!!
My guitar just looked at me and said, "Don't even think about it!"
You can do it
I laughed
Mine too!!!
Eli Bleu,😂😂😂thanks for the laugh! Your comment cracked me up!!!
Lol.. Semangat
Classical guitar is criminally underrated
czcams.com/video/MJRsMCmWwpU/video.html it would be amazing if you could listen to my cover of Capricho Arabe 🌱💫💕🐬🧜🏻♀️💃🦅🎶🌎
I have never seen an artist this intimate with a guitar...And the interpretation of one of the most beautiful songs ever penned by man. exquisite.
I have no words for how beautiful that was. I have loved that song for many years, but it was also performed absolutely beautifully. Thank you for such a wonderful performance.
I,m 71 yrs and that the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Thank you. :)
ลุงนี่ไม่ค่อยได้ฟังเพลง
@@TheFullmetalj ? :)
67 checking in, ditto!
Damn... I'm only 13, and this blows my mind how there are people watching CZcams above the age of 50...
I'm 57 and this is third most beautiful thing I've ever heard. The top two...
Years ago, I was driving home from an airport run, on a moonlit night... the only radio station that has reception on the M6 through the hills of the Lake District was Classic FM ... so, begrudgingly, I turned it on... oh hell, Debussy, how over-sentimental... or so I thought at the time. Then the radio announcer told a story, about how someone had requested they play it, with a letter (paraphrasing) "In 1942, I flew in a WWII bomber crew, we used to fly to Germany and back, each night, with a realization that we had a 1/10 chance of not coming back... on one perfectly clear moonlit night (the most dangerous time to fly, you are easily spotted)...." I don't have the words to describe what he said in his letter, their communal sense of relief, and thankfulness just to be alive, to be returning home - when others were not so lucky - their elation of having survived was cruelly tempered by the knowledge that so many people would have died, and on their return, they would learn who had been lost that night. So, the navigator had set up a small gramophone, and, as seemed fitting for a moonlit night, played Claire De Lune to the crew across the intercom, as they flew home, safe. And there I was, driving home, alone, a full moon, not a cloud in the sky, realizing how lucky I was not to have had to live through that, and it showed me how these young men must have found hope in such beautiful music - it made me understand that writing music is a timeless way to celebrate the innate beauty of life. So, wonderful stuff +Roxanne Elfasci that's a stunning arrangement, love the way the harmonic undertones ring through - and, in recording, it's so hard to capture the "chime" and voice of a guitar, but the (mic? def not a U87 always) does a great job... nice recording of a beautiful arrangement... I love it and must work on some of that!
Wonderful story. What a way to grasp the power, importance, and beauty of music in peoples' lives. Also makes me grateful for my fortunate circumstances, and for the way that many people in drastically different situations can still have a common appreciation for things, like Debussy's beautiful piano compositions. Thanks for sharing.
That's a beautiful comment. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for that Ken.
Ken McCormack i always troll comments no matter what but this... this is different.
wow.....this gave me goosebumps
Just look at the massive aluminium ribbon microphone. It is not overly expensive, but is indeed difficult to handle. This explain the extremely natural sound quality of this recording.
The soundman knows what he is doing. With this music, it's worth it. 👍👍👍👍👍❤
Wow! Not only is Claire de Lune my favorite piece but your flawless rendition moved me to thank my Creator for allowing me to be alive to hear such precious and beautiful music. I know your talent didn't come easy and required many years of dedication and sacrifice but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for producing such a lasting impression on my psyche forever!
Praise Bob!
I never could have said it beter.
As a classical pianist, I am absolutely floored. Not only did you play this difficult piece with a lovely, emotional, masterful interpretation, you played it on guitar!
...and look at those finger positions... clearly not easy to do.
@@mattimaranda9638 no shit!
On the lower neck, her fingers have the most amazing stretch into five and occasionally six frets…. And the pauses…. Seemed perfect w/ just the correct amount of timing to move to the next position
She's probably more accurate at gang signs than the actual gangsters.
It's the casual and perfect use of harmonics that gets me. I don't play guitar but I appreciate it!
I've watched many classical guitar interpretations of this song. This is the first time I could be convinced it was composed for that instrument.
French orchestral composer Berlioz was a guitar player, so it is not beyond possibility that Debussy may also have had a small guitar propped up by the piano.
Absolutely. I totally agree. 👌🏻
Totally agree.... Somehow she made it divine.....
try playing it on the Guitar.... so... .no
The warmth of it is so wonderfully delicious. Makes me feel hugged.
Clair de Lune is one of my favourite pieces of music
They guitar took away the floating feeling but gave it something else that made me wanting to cry. Amazing
it never crossed my mind that a guitar would be able to do justice to this composition. you trully are a virtuoso in perfect control of the instrument yet so effortless and smooth in your execution.
Badiuzzaman Mohamed
Laurindo Almeida also transposed and played a wonderful version, but I believe hers is even better, which is my highest praise.
Big dookie how do you notice that tf
Does anyone know how she tuned her guitar ? it sounds different on mine
@@ouafmannlitchfield5448 Is tuned half step down on each string :)
@@olliebear9256 Yes! But he had more than one version. My favorite is from the "Music for Lovers" LP. However, I believe that version is him playing an overdubbed track; essentially two guitars.
Debussy’s been awfully quiet since this dropped
Lol
I believe hes dead mate!
Debussy’s been awfully quite since he was dropped
The fact that you aren’t even wrong-
No he's still alive I saw him at the shoe store
Perhaps the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Enchanting and brilliant.
Your music brought tears to these old eyes
is that good?
Sounds almost as a harp. Crazy stuff. Dynamic is phenomenal.
Alex Peter exactly!
I think it's with all the harmonics, those are way softer than the usual fingerpicked notes, and notes on the harp are softer than on guitar
It's also the fact that she's intentionally playing close to the middle of the string, which is where the harp is plucked (while the guitar normally gets plucked around 1/3rd from the bridge)
Good lord, that is some MONSTER technique. Absolutely magnificent.
And monster of sensitivity
Absolutely.There is such meticulous silence and delicate fingerwork there that even the very few, light frizzes there are should weigh more than gold ! Beautiful execution. Masterfully accomplished.
That chord at 1:23 !!
Thank you. I’m no master of guitar but she’s doing some crazy twisted hand positions here. And smoothly and deftly. Very nice.
No soy músico profesional ni experto en música clásica, me gusta Debussy por unas interpretaciones que oí del músico japones Tomita. Sin embargo me doy cuenta que esta interpretación de Claro de Luna esta al mas alto nivel, y me provoca una gran emoción. Soy aficionado a la guitarra, y seria un sueño poder tocar en esta forma. Gracias Roxane
Interprétation très appliquée. Très agréable.
My fingers ache just looking at the stretch she's having to use to play this piece. Crazy difficult yet beautifully executed. Wonderous.
She has long skinny fingers. Always an advantage.
What impresses me the most is how every note rings perfectly at the right volume, despite the insane fingerings
Equal Sql grow up shit fingers
Oh come on she just stretched 6 frets
That's why she's holding the guitar like a cello.
I get the impression that she is baring her soul. She must be emotionally exhausted after a concert. Just beautiful in every respect.
what does that mean bob? baring her soul?
@@jerome4385 She is to guitar what Ben Webster is to sax. There are instrumentalists and vocalists (I won't mention names) who are very clinical and cerebral in their approach to playing; no emotion attached to it at all. That, by necessity, is the way it is when you're learning a new piece. But once you have it in your pocket, you own it. Your performance of the piece doesn't come from the brain but from somewhere deep inside. And that's what we're hearing here. This lady didn't play a single note that didn't have a piece of her soul attached to it. And that is guitartistry in its purest form.
@@bobburford Well said! :D
@@bobburford why does it always have to be about sax bob?
Go back stuffin your face with turkey Bob
I never thought this piece would sound so good on a guitar.
Beautifully done, OP!
Possibly the most beautiful version of Clare De Lune I’ve ever heard.
Totally agree! That's rare to hear it so well played on guitar, so fluid, melody always singing and capturing our atention. Well done!
my mother's favorite. you have resurrected her and brought her into my view again smiling and we both have tears of joy. what a wonderful performance
What a beautiful comment, you made me feel sad but joyful for what it represents for you, thanks for sharing.
Aww I love that. Music is such an amazing bridge to our memories ☺️
@@jessicapreston9808 it can heal and sooth tragedy . i appreciate your comment
Why the frick am i crying
Those who know how to play this on a piano will know how hellishly difficult this would be on a guitar. I hope you have a million likes on this video. I’ve replayed this many times.
Hmm. Piano and guitar are not very similar. It may not be what you think
Claire De Lune may sound difficult to play on piano, but it's a piece of intermediate difficulty. Of course, that does not take anything away from its timeless beauty. However, arranged for guitar, this piece becomes an extremely difficult one to play and especially with the proficiency that Roxan Elfsasci so beautifully does in this recording. I could go on and on about how fluent, seamless and fluid everything is played together.
@@Insomnia_tic
Do you often come to the internet to discount the achievements of artists?
@@Insomnia_tic Exactly? That's why its alot harder on guitar. Piano makes large chords and arpeggios relatively easy to play compared to piano.
That's exactly what he said.
It takes many years of practice to play like this, just incredible…and beautiful!
By far the most beautiful version of this piece of music.
Beautiful. makes you stop and realise how amazing humans actually are. The playing, the instrument itself, the technology to record and visualise it, the composition, and the elegance of the performance.
Yes. And now go listen to Valerí Milot on orchestral harp playing solo… equal spirits….
Debussy has brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful.
Yes.....the creation of the instruments. So many types that may be played alone or all types at once in the same key. Producing sounds that stir the soul and spirits of the listener. Yes indeed......amazing!
“Beautiful. makes you stop and realise how amazing humans actually are”
Amazing in the one direction and appalling in the other. The upside of humans is indeed very high. Unfortunately the downside is very low.
@@keithsmith4780 that's why it is foolish to look towards mankind for answers to life's problems.
A mere mortal, in my opinion, does not have the answer.
There is a certain humbleness about this song. Like a speck of dust floating around inside a drop of water that slowly slides down the leaf of a tree on a rainy afternoon. It says to me "Calm down, not everything is on your shoulders. You're like that speck of dust.. relax"
Well said.
Wow..☺️...can I have some of what your having😊
Even the comments are artful up in here!
to me the intro feels like sadness and pain, and then with the faster parts it comes trouble and panic, and after it's over the intro tries to come back but it's different, more melancholic, like the notes are carefully trying to be what the intro was but the first notes comes out different in an even sadder way but with a tone of overcoming . to me this song feels more like the stages of grief after losing someone, and not "romantic" like people say.
@l tonos: Your words are as touching as this music. I hope you are an author
As a very amateurish guitarist myself, I watch her left hand in utter awe.
It's impossible to listen to this without feeling pure joy. It's so pleasant and beautiful!
Many, many emotions, beyond just joy. This is one of the truly transcendent compositions of the ages, and she played it delicately, passionately and precisely. The use of harmonics were next level... just brilliant, start to finish.
Perhaps the most incredible feat I've seen performed on a guitar, ever.
shes amazing. go check out Mike Dawes One cover (metallica).
This is why the aliens haven't destroyed our planet yet.
But when they figure out they can download everything from Amazon, we’re fucked
She is the alien.
It really is things like this that make not only individual human lives worth living, but justify our entire wretched species. An almost infinite number of occurrences, an inconceivably long chain of causes and effects, for this to exist, and for us to listen to it.
✨💋💕🙏
send this to Bill Gates... maybe it will work on him too.
I listen to a lot of guitar covers and arrangements of all sorts of classical pieces; And romantic era composers are my most favorite people ever, and I do not believe I will ever get tired of that genre of music. With that being said, this has to be the most beautiful arrangement on guitar that I have ever heard being played. So fluent, touching and eloquent.
Yes, the transcription is beyond amazing and her performance is astounding. Those fingerings and voicing are unbelievable.
Brilliant ❤. This song help me to fight existential depression
i love how she hugs her guitar.
I’ve never seen anyone play that way before - remarkable!
Imo, the guitar in that position aligns the wrist more naturally which is really needed here for all the stretches she is doing. Just my opinion as a beginner guitarist.
Classical position i think
Jeff xd The classical posture is usually with the neck at around 45 degrees, so a little different.
Looks like she is aligning the guitar with her inner energy (chakras). Amazing!!
She holds that guitar like she’s dancing with someone she loves, and it sounds like it loves her back.
That's such a great thought.
I was trying to put that into words. Thank you. Everything about this performance is beautiful.
Beautiful sentiment ❤️
no man she be just holdin it like the classic guitar peoples be holdin chill out bruh
@@cupuacu4life13 someone’s view is relative to their frame of reference. What Sam sees is his interpretation. That’s what art is all about, ‘bruh’.
Jamás en mis 65 años de vida había visto y oído a un ser humano conectar su alma con la eterna melodía del Universo. Nunca nadie había movido mis fibras emocionales como esta mujer prodigiosa, interpretando esta obra que, cuando ella la ejecuta, hace pensar que fue escrita para guitarra y no para piano. Es una interpretación simplemente divina.
This is one of the most beautiful renditions of this song I’ve ever heard❤️i just bought my first classic guitar today and ma’am that was an inspiration! I look forward to playing like this one day❤️
its like we dont even play the same instrument

Do you play on classical guitar too?
It’s beautiful
Hahahahaha good one
yeah :(
despite classical guitar being ancestor of electric guitar, the way it is played makes it look like totally different instrument.
I'm selling mine. It's been lying to me all this time.
If you've never heard Debussy's Clair de Lune played on a Piano you can't possibly understand how technically wonderful this is!
I've been playing classical guitar for 7 years and I still have a long way to have that level! Just wonderful!
Pretty sure everyone has heard Clair de Lune on piano, considering that was the instrument Debussy originally composed it with.
@@jackstack2136 maybe not guitarists
You're an idiot Timothy
@@DidipanI'm right around the same point in my journey. Sending this to remind you to give it a try again! I've come across this like once a year to try and learn. Getting close to the ability level
To Roxane Elfasci: Thank you for this masterful beauty. For me, this has become THE performance of Clair De Lune. If I never hear another performance or version of this piece, I won't feel any loss whatsoever. I'll feel deeply grateful for just this. The depth of your mastery is deeply, deeply moving. It's as if Debussy wrote this piece for you. Thank you. From the deepest depth of my heart. Thank you.
Beautiful! Great job! My favorite song. So used to hearing it on piano or on the cd Debussy’s greatest hits. Realizing how beautiful it sounds on guitar.
She's doing the impossible. And doing it in a such marvellous way that I almost can't believe. Clair de Lune is a so pianistic piece that making it sound in the guitar the way she gets is almost a miracle.
esojbar that’s what I was thinking! Over and over I kept doing double-takes at how she treated each section so masterfully, conquering parts with such beauty. When Love comes alive in a musician, the heart can inspire the brain and body to achieve whole new levels of mastery and creativity, and this woman has illuminated that truth with her own example.
Check it out performed on the harp. Your mind will be blown. I listen to the harp version so much it doesnt even sound right on a piano anymore lol

If I work VERY hard, I MAY learn the notes and MAYBE I can technically perform the piece. But it is the rare person that can bring this level of feeling and emotion. Ms Elfasci is truly a brilliant artist! Bravo.

@@totallysmooth1203 Keep Practicing little fella , you'll get it ..... Don't Get Mad !!
' Pop Goes The Weasel ' Takes Time To Master !! 😉👍🏻
Just try playing the first arpeggio. Just the FIRST arpeggio, with the steady, even vibrato she has. Seriously, it's deceptively tough when all four of your fingers are spread out like that.
This woman is a master.
i can play this up to 2:20
having long skinny fingers makes it easier for me.
And, not only that, the harmonics that she achieves while doing the finger dance are sooo difficult to achieve technically speaking, I am in awe!!
you sound like you enjoy looking at technique more than listening to the music in itself
@@mabciapayne16 it's impossible not to notice her incredible technique. The first thing that you I can't help but notice is the way she positions the guitar. Very unorthodox. And it might be the only way to play that piece correctly. Absolutely nailed it. I was able to appreciate the music and the technique simultaneously.
Worth waiting 7 years to hear. Brava diva!
Amazing dynamics, she really lets the piece breathe.
The dexterity of her fingers is incredible ! My goodness !
JohnBindon little spider fingers! Im no longer afraid of spiders after seeing her hands work that fretboard
music is not about fingers.....
Holding the guitar tilted like she is, definitely helps stretching your fingers like that.

That’s the classical guitar playin position.
@@zain4019 i mean no offense, but i didn't say i have no idea what guitar position this is. I was stating the realistic fact that this position helps the player BE ABLE to strecth their fingers to play like that. It's like you decided to "correct" me when no correction was needed. For example, say if this video was someone eating a bowl of soup and i commented "holding the bowl helps to eat it." Then you reply to me "that's the classical soup eating position." You get it? Maybe I'm looking too much into your comment, like you did mine.
I lost count how many times I've come back to this, and I do so when the world and everything around me start my anxieties. Right now the world is in a collective grief, and one could only hope for normalcy to return. This video is a pocket of peace amdist the crisis.
No such thing as normal. Embrace the chaos and pursue your joys. At the end of the day nobody is getting out alive anyhow :) have fun. And peace be with you
reading this was satisfying

you're welcome
Calma. Todo pasa.
I hear you culota. I am here beside you.
Exquisite performance
Love how she encourages the strings to enunciated te unspoken lyrics ~
She plays so delicate, soft, intense and tender at the same time. She embraces her guitar, Debussy must be grateful. Beautiful artist. I am grateful for the gift of listening her guitar.
This song feels like a butterfly breeze brushing over my nostalgic soul
Nice imagery!
I love this melody from Debussy. Since my childhood...now I am 61y
February 2024 and this is still beautiful.
Ahhhh. Listening to this song always reminds me of the time that I was standing in front of a beautiful fountain with a group of close friends, quietly reflecting on life, love and how we just stole over $150 million from three casinos.

I have a feeling your story is going to get much worse before it gets better
Chad C Yeah. That guy from the casino eventually tracks me and my buds down because some other thief dobbed us in to him. But it all works out in the end after our other buddy gets screwed out of his part of a different casino. It’s a crazy life living near the Ocean.
So glad I’m not the only one.
Hey that's where I discovered this song
My Dad would love this... miss my dad so much...
yeah me too
A toast...to your dad. 💕

I have never heard this played before on the guitar, and it was performed so masterfully! Beautiful!
What a pleasure this is. Think about it, friends, 75 years ago this beautiful, astounding recording could've existed. This is phenomenal ❤
Claude himself would have smiled.
he would have wept as he smiled, such is the sheer beauty of it.
I don't understand u guys talking abt He???!?! She is a girl right?
Its the original composer back in the 1800's if im not mistaken (my guess is he died somewhere in 1915 or something) and yes its a he
Concentration my friend...
yeah you guys were friends?
her fret noises are so.... controlled. I know people already like this video, but there is some major high precision and dynamic control on display here~~
Beat songs have all of this I think
Technique is what you got out of this? Your soul is dead! That was one of the most spiritually and emotionally moving things I've ever heard. Your comment, on the other hand is a grammatical disaster, and you have no idea how to string words together.
Go be "self important" elsewhere, you neanderthal.
Joe Cseko and I didn’t put self important in air-quotes because unlike you, I can actually see when someone is being self important. Like you are, coming into this space of musical appreciation to shit on someone else’s comment for exactly zero reason except to attack them for not having “soul” and grammar misuse? That’s what a self-important jackass does. And then project that onto someone else in fucking air-quotes because at least your subconscious has a hint of self-awareness. Fucko.
@@euthymialy It's like he thinks this video opened his third eye, lmao.
chili boy I don’t know what happened to my first reply, apparently it only saved this one unless the poster deleted it. But yea Joe Cseko is a pompous self-important grammar Nazi who needs to criticize others over nothing just to make himself feel smart.
This musician sounds so beautiful!
