  • The Two Arabesques (Deux arabesques), L. 66, is a pair of arabesques composed for piano by Claude Debussy when he was still in his twenties, between the years 1888 and 1891.
    Although quite an early work, the arabesques contain hints of Debussy's developing musical style. The suite is one of the very early impressionistic pieces of music, following the French visual art form. Debussy seems to wander through modes and keys, and achieves evocative scenes through music. His view of a musical arabesque was a line curved in accordance with nature, and with his music he mirrored the celebrations of shapes in nature made by the Art Nouveau artists of the time. Of the arabesque in baroque music, he wrote:
    “that was the age of the ‘wonderful arabesque' when music was subject to the laws of beauty inscribed in the movements of Nature herself.”

    My first girlfriend was an amazing pianist.
    She won an award for her musical talents and played Arabesque no. 1 for a live audience, which I was part of.
    We were both 16, and I was so impressed by the talent and grace with which she played.
    We went our seperate ways after 3 years, and there was a great deal of pain.
    Looking back now, the bitterness is gone. The serenity and beauty of the music takes me back to a vivid memory, to a time which will be clear in my mind as long as I live.
    Life really is an incredible thing, and the beauty of music is that it has the magical ability to make us take a step back and appreciate it in all its wonder.

      Nick - If you TRULY want to feel like you're underwater, listen to Debussy's "La Cathedral Engloutie" (The Sunken Cathedral). I played that piece for my audition to a string quintet. When I finished, two of the judges were in tears - they said the piece brought visual hallucinations of great beauty. I told them it was not my playing; I deferred all the compliments to the composer.

    I’m a cellist and last year I’ve had a Christmas concert with the orchestra. I’ll always remember that night, because my whole family came to see me play. They never come to my concerts. Later it was time to go home and as I was packing my things and getting ready to leave, I heard someone play the piano on the stage. There was a group of people and a girl playing this piece by Claude Debussy. We became friends few months later when I told her about how I fell in love with her playing. She changed schools tho and had to move this year so I’ll probably never see her again but my dad got me my own piano for my birthday!!! I’ll try to be as good as she is at playing Debussy. Hopefully everyone is having a fantastic day!! (sorry if my English is bad :/ )

      Uroš Peteh You can't change who you are, you can learn new skills though. You are not a mistake as a human, it's that you have to find your niche that doesn't harm others while flexxing your mental muscles. The man who created the special effects guitars for KISS and started a whole new level in music was autistic (which can often be accompanied by or confused with psychopathy). Your brain is unique and as such bears specific gifts unique only to you.
      You might not experience silly, flighty "puppy love" as described here and what is usually simply the endorphin rush of NEW love but you can try for the longer lasting commitment based love which is more or less the real deal.

    Debussy was a great symbolist composer; he frequented at cafeterias with symbolist poets, he composed the famous opera Pelléas et Mélisande, based on the homonymous theatrical work of the symbolist Maurice Maeterlinck, and rejected the title of impressionist that the Académie des Beaux Artes ascribed to him for his Printemps, a piece written after the composer's travel to Italy. He wasn't an impressionist, as his works attempt not to catch some elusive idea, as the impressionist painters used to, however he was a symbolist, because he focused on the sound itself and its effect on the audience.

      +Elise .Sullivan words can convey stuff music can't do, such as Darling we've run out of milk, can you please, go down to the store and buy some, if you would be so kind.
      Music may be able to convey feelings of raw emotion, but can't convey complex emotions, such as hatred or love, only weak emotion states such as happiness, fear and sadness. Try to find music that can convey confusion, guilt, terror, awe or insanity, I'll tell you that there is none.
      However words can evoke those feelings with ease, they can play with the emotions of man with such an ease that it was if we were little kids.
      Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven, is so beautifully written, with such ease it grasps you, it leads you.
      J.R.R Tolkien had such flowing description of his depiction of his Midgard that you felt you were there, words so alluring and smooth that they mesmerize you without your understanding of it happening.
      There is nothing in music that words cannot describe, as it hungers for your presence, the presence of those hungry eyes, them insatiable eyes, that longs for it to end, but falls ever deeper, it grabs you it pulls you, it wants you there with it, it needs you it hungers and you can't bear to be without it, it starves you, it make you crave and as soon as it gets a hold it will make you into it's slave. Slowly whispering, I'm your friend, I'm your friend. It wants you to itself, someone for it to notice, as they live yet ever shortly, it brings you slowly with it. Down into your grave, to share it's destiny, it hungers, it wants you and you'll soon do the same, you'll feed it, you'll need it, it's precious, it's yours, its hold grows ever stronger, and when it ends, you wish it were longer.
      Now if I someone who is bad at writing stuff came up with that shit in 5 minutes, a short enticing story, with few repeated elements to ensure you of it's content, a story with a beginning a middle and an end. A message deep and truly, and don't worry I'll break the pattern in this new segment of words. It's not that hard to convey beauty or terror with words alone, sure music is a beauty that can satiate our minds, but a well written story gives you so much more.
      Have a nice day, and learn that simple statements aren't always correct, Music may be beautiful and can carry powerful meanings, but say the right words to any man, and he'll do anything for you. That word may differ and it may not be obvious to all. But it can be as simple as a morality boosting rallying cry, or as simple as a temptation to do something bad, to an invite of pure awe, to the humblings of old men.
      What song can make a grown man cry, yet leave everyone else in confusion, what song can make a grown man happy yet an entire nation in despair, how many songs lead men into battle, yet unwilling to fight?
      Oh and did I mention, Have a nice day.

    Comme la première lumière du crépuscule, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de vieilles promesses et à toutes les anomalies bienfaisantes de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et réveillent les regrets, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés

    This makes me imagine I’m the Greek islands enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean sipping my wine while the breeze gently blows the curtains as the sun kisses my skin on my balcony...oh the dreamy ideal way to watch the world go by...Debussy inspires my imagination ❤️❤️

    Something is mysterious with both Arabesque...every time I hear these, I tend to linger on a dream...

      Same here, I think of a mysterious dream, or of water flowing through a river maybe.

    I live alone and become depressed without company but I have found that the laptop can help with Debussy lifting me out of the black hole ! Wonderful music.

      I have the secret to living alone and NOT being depressed. All you need do is develop a deep loathing for the mass of humanity. Good luck!
