Debussy at a Glance | 35 seconds, 8 pieces you should know

- With a composing career of about 30 years, Debussy was a French impressionist composer born in 1862. His works were originally influenced by music of Russia and the Far East. The single opera that he wrote actually launched his international fame, although he is probably most known these days for pieces like 'Clair de lune' and 'Deux Arabesques'.
You'll hear 8 snippets of Debussy's well-known music. The snippets are very short, and they are strung together to form one 'piece' of music.

🔥 Debussy's "Clair de lune" but in a MINOR key 👉 czcams.com/video/Sh9BSb8Y9hU/video.html
There are a few pieces of music in that short that I know and really like. Well played and superbly put together. 😁
Really glad you enjoyed it Heather, thank you! 😊
Again, love this short video of Debussy, Nathan. Clare De Lune would have to be my favourite, along with The Gollieog's cakewalk.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you! Those are both great pieces 😊
Debussy's Asian and Jazzy style are what I believe makes him special, bringing it into Europe, he basically travelled the world and brought it to Europe.
I remember my composition professor talking about debussy's "jazz style"
20 years in as a jazz player who loves debussy i fail to see the resemblance.
@@akirathedog777 Well ofcourse it is difficult for any Classical Composer to use any hint of Jazz composition, for example Ravel's Concerto for left hand, he got the idea from Gershwin, THE American Composer, but when you a Jazzist hears that Concerto, you miss the Jazz parts, but for a Classical musici or Composer it also does not sound like Classical, and I would say some passages are Jazz, but I think it is personal controlled Jazz by Ravel and Debussy because they did not grow to Jazz, they had some inspirations but raised a Classical one, no Classical musici can swap that easy, it is like learning a whole new language with the ability to learn the alphabet, that takes some while,, you know Oscar Peterson had a Collab with John Williams once, and he put an orchestra under the piece of Peterson's 'Body and Soul' now that orchestral play is also not Jazzy but also not Classical type, but it fits perfectly in Jazz, sometimes evolution goes slow, and you grow something beautifull between the actual result, Debussy and Ravel are great examples of that. 😃
Love these Nathan. ‘Arabesque’ my favourite!!! And know some of the others too. Thanks again. Sunday night wouldn’t be the same without experiencing a new video and music from you so good!!!! 👏👏Julie
Thank you very much Julie! Yes, the 'Arabesque' really is a lovely piece! 😊
This Short was particularly enjoyable to put together.
The rare case of a maestro who can play AND pick up and move the whole damn piano.
LOL! 😂
As a music student (decades ago) I have always been in awe of Debussy. Thank you for this presentation.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
If you're looking for more Debussy, I have a 'Debussy Playlist': czcams.com/play/PLnXUAAdOfAtNr19ehZOu-CQIuWc_u1RUO.html
Several of these pieces tug at my heart so deeply, by playing the short excerpts you start to drag my heart down that path... then the song ends. You played these beautifully.
Thanks so much! They're all wonderful pieces! 😊
I have actually played a few of these in full on my channel ('Arabesque No. 1', 'Rêverie', and 'The Girl with the Flaxen Hair').
Holy smokes. Great guns flexing while you hammer out French impressionist pieces
Haha, I try my best! 💪😁🎹
And thanks!
Oh yes, smooth transitions too...
Thank you so much! I worked through a few different ideas until I came up with the transitions that I thought worked best 😊
Beautiful! Epic transitions 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks! 😊
I love Debussy
😂😂😂
Lovely piece Nathan🎼🎹🎶🌹🙏🤗
Thanks for listening Karen! 😊
Golliwogg's cakewalk was actually influenced by Erik Satie's "Piccadilly"! They were very good friends.
Ooh, yes! They both have similarities! 😊
😂this was fantastic! Viral video potential for sure 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Louise! I sure hope so! 😊
Amo a Claude Debbusy me encantan todas y cada una de sus grandes composiciones, gracias ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful performance~! 😍
Thanks so much Grace! 😊
Arms looking big man
Thank you! 💪😁🎹
Oh my gosh. I couldn’t remember the name of Golliwogg’s Cakewalk, but the fact that it’s by Debussy makes me love him even more!! By far my favorite composer!
So glad this video helped you out! 😊
Thanks for watching!
My favorite composer
One of mine as well 😊
Wow! Fantastic!
Many thanks J Lyn!! 😊
Nicely played and great selection.

Reverie is pretty dope

The girl with the flaxen hair is fantastic, I’ll learn it since day
It is a great piece! You'll enjoy learning it 😊
Images set II is my favorite
That's a lovely ethereal-like set of pieces 😊
I would have put Voilles in but I know nothing lol Great video!!

@@NathanGlennComposer undeniably
Nice transitions
But u should have added Dr gradus ad parnassum
Glad you liked it, thanks! 😊
Ooh, the 'Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum' is a great piece too!
When 35 seconds make your day worth it ❤ subscribed!
That's lovely to say, I really appreciate it, thank you! 😊
@@NathanGlennComposer Can I ask about your practice regime and how many years have you been playing for?
@@alfonsoacosta8595 I generally practise when required, so if I have a concert or video coming up I'll practise much more than if I don't. 😊
I began learning when I was 3 years old, and have been playing for over 20 years.
@@NathanGlennComposer 3 years old 😲! Alright, I am only 22 years late 😂 I started learning as an adult...I can play a few pieces by Debussy by memory, but reading music is still a struggle. Sometimes I wonder if I missed the childhood wiring required to be a really good player 😔 I am resolute to become very good at it though, even if it takes me the rest of my life!
@@alfonsoacosta8595 While it's true that a lot of things are easier to learn when we're young children (including music), that doesn't mean it's impossible when we're adults. Good on you for pursuing it! You can still become a really good player if you work at it! All the very best! 😊
Gorgeous!! Amazing as always Nathan!!
Thank you! Cheers mate! 😊
I’m currently learning the piano trio!
Awesome! That's a great piece! 😊
I recognised all except the first one😂
👍😊
I like your videos
Thank you! 😊
My favorite is Golliwogg’s Cakewalk
That is a great piece! 😊
I play all of the solo ones
They're great pieces aren't they! 😊
Thanks for watching!
6/8
Awesome! 😊
I don't know about time limit, but can you play little longer?
Thank you for your posting!
Thanks so much for your comments! 😊
CZcams Shorts are limited in time, however I have longer videos of both Debussy and other classical composers on my channel, along with original works. I'll put links to some videos below:
Debussy - Arabesque No. 1: czcams.com/video/LqQtrjnDz5c/video.html
Debussy - Rêverie: czcams.com/video/RO_rzBPwrUk/video.html
Out of Ashes (original): czcams.com/video/TU9pX7m5wRI/video.html
Enjoy!
❤Amo❤
¡Gracias! 😊
Why is your piano tuned so high? 😮 I almost couldn’t recognize the pieces I know for my whole life 😅
It's actually tuned to A440 Concert Pitch, so I'm not sure why it sounded high 😊
Hope you enjoyed the video even so 😉
Only his piano works… what about la mer, l’après-midi d’une faune??
Too many great works to choose from! 😊
I think you forgot Fireworks.
Had to narrow the list down to only 8 pieces 😉
I know 4 of these
Fantastic! 😊
Thanks for watching!
What VST are you using?
I'm not actually using a VST for this. The audio is recorded directly from my Roland FP-80.
@@NathanGlennComposer Wow! such a nice sounding piano :)
It is! Roland do a fantastic job with their piano sounds!
8 songs
Great that you knew all of them; well done! 😊
Debussy? More like Debuffy.
Hahaha! 🤣🤣
Boys: Follow tate.
Girls: actually can't say no to men like this guy (the opposite of tates ideal) ... Boys, watch this guy and learn!
Please! Oh boy those fingers can dance..
Haha! Thanks for the compliment! 😊
Nice, but sorry I think Debussy needs of a real pianoforte to appreciate the timbers of his pieces. Playing Debussy for a piano player means study how to create a very nice pianissimo, both legato and staccato. This subtle work on sound is completely inexistent in a digital piano.
Thanks! 😊
Of course you can't beat a real grand piano (most of the time anyway, depending on brand, age etc.). Hopefully one day I'll be able to get a grand piano!
