Notice to composers: harmonics sound the best on the harp when played on flat strings. The vibration is from the board to the pin at the neck. If a composer writes in flats the result is beautiful. Sharps almost never work. Naturals come out sometimes. In this piece when the harp plays in flats the key signature is actually in sharps.
Sail into the sunset. Thank you so much for your tips on the harmonics of the harp. I delved completely into this wonderful instrument last year. When you are a pianist, as I am, you have the tendency to avoid this gorgeous instrument.
I moved to New York like 6 years ago. When I was living there I would listen to this on the bus on the way into the city and remember looking out the window seeing snow coming down while I had this playing. Every time I play this, I am taken back there almost instantly.
This is a marvellous piece.Debussy was about to pass away and suffered a lot, what can be heard in the sonata for violin and piano which follows this one. It seems that here a miracle occurred. All sufferings have disappeared, we have the warm and delicate Debussy that we all know and love. And what a delicate alliance of tones !!!! "La souple arabesque....." ❤❤❤🧡💛💜🤎💜💛🧡❤❤
Debussy has been one of my favorite composers since childhood (I am now in my mid-60s), and every so often I find a composition I have never heard before. This sonata is new to me, and it has brought joy and beauty into my morning.
This is the rare work which however great, is immediately appealing to all on first listening. But then with further hearing, one begins to appreciate what a complex and utterly inspired masterpiece it truly is...a friend for life. This is a truly successful recording that you can buy with the confidence that it truly will give you the piece, as it were.
A composer with pieces that appealing on first listen are good. it makes it easier for listeners to dip their toes in the water that is the composers harmonic language.
+David Dolatowski Good for you. As you probably know, this tonal pattern opens the Sonic Gates to non-earthly realms. I love it when it happens and of course only a master (Master Initiate ) can enchant the mind and senses in such a way. Be that as it may, dear David, give it a try. And though we fail a thousand times... all's we have to do is succeed is once. Blessings... CVD
I've been (badly) whistling the main motif from this for 10 years, I knew it was a classical piece, but no idea which one. It's funny the way the brain files things away in dusty corners.
Not to be sentimental, but my introduction to Prince was back in high school. Lovesexy had just come out. We were in the practice rooms, very late after school; we could faintly hear it. We were curious, we thought we were the last ones there. Indeed, the other practice rooms were empty. Lovesexy was emanating, turns out, from the little office of the high school orchestra conductor. Unlike the band teacher -- a vulgar extrovert from Philly, a Streisand nut -- Mr T was quiet, foreboding, mustachioed: a midwestern, suburban Toscannini. We overcame our fear and knocked on his door. The music stopped. A long pause. He opened the door, furious. We didn't know what to say. "What are you listening to, Mr T?" DEBUSSY! THIS IS DEBUSSY! And he slammed the door.
This is marvelous, in the true sense of the word. It just jumps out at you. I wonder what Claude would think of his music being continually interrupted by loud ads...
The crass insensitivity of the loud and aggressive marketing industry who do their ignorant best to destroy the transient, ephemeral beauty of this work
I can't remember where I heard this first - I think it must have been a cover disk in the 90s on some classical music magazine I subscribed to for a while. Its haunted me (in a good way) ever since and I come back to it again and again :-)
"Music is woman. It is impossible to realize how completely music is the feminine, which perhaps goes some way to explain why so often a certain chastity is characteristic of men of genius." (Debussy, quoted in Leon Vallas, 1929)
14:09 I am going to steal and mess around with this excerpt, it really caught my attention. Unfortunately my sample librarys cant recreate the sheer amount of expression that comes out just 4 measures
Beautiful work.... The allegro passages in this performance are taken too fast, which gives the music a forced intensity which seems to be contrary to the character of the music, the notes of the melodic lines can no longer be heard and are rushed.

Noted! Thanks!
Wow that's so interesting!

So you're saying Debussy fucked up lawl?

I am happy for you.
I love the timbre of the viola in this recording. Sounds like no other.
This whole piece is a journey, a trip to wonderful places.
The harp fifths starting at 0:57 (then reprised at 4:35) are so beautiful , such an inspired piece of music.
Really reminiscent of a motive from Britten's Ceremony of Carols for me... although Britten composed his piece some 30 years after Debussy
This is one of my favourite works of all time, thank you!
Lovely! A very atmospheric composition by Debussy, unfortunately often overlooked and underappreciated.
Viola sounds so much like the human voice.
id say cello does it a bit better, but viola would definetly be 2nd

Masterpiece, absolutely! Really beautiful (60 year old!) recording and performance.
This is incredibly beautiful.
magical enchanted garden...marvellous
I'm planning to write a piece for this instrumentation, and this will inspire! Love the whole tone tonality and harmonics.
+David Dolatowski Sounds good! Try my upload of Leo Smit's piece for the same combination too, it was modeled after this piece.
+olla-vogala I did hear leo smit's work and really liked it. I will listen to it again. Thanks
David Dolatowski
Excellent! Do you think you can get some inspiration from that piece too?

Even after so many years, this piece appears very modern: Doubtful, ironic, yet with beauty still shining through.
Laughter or tears? Ha! This is simply sublime!
I've been (badly) whistling the main motif from this for 10 years, I knew it was a classical piece, but no idea which one. It's funny the way the brain files things away in dusty corners.
but it's not a classical piece... it's late debussy
@@lawrencewei3583 he means classical music as it's commonly used as a broad term to describe instrumental music.
So late in his life, Debussy was still producing (in my opinion) some of his best work.
Not to be sentimental, but my introduction to Prince was back in high school. Lovesexy had just come out. We were in the practice rooms, very late after school; we could faintly hear it.

DEBUSSY! THIS IS DEBUSSY!
And he slammed the door.

He'd figure out how to "monetize" it.
Chef d'oeuvre absolu...❤
Your channel is a real treasure, congratulations and thanks for your immense contribution !!!!

Stunningly beautiful!
1:15 sounds like a part of his piece, "the girl with the flaxen hair".
JaeBum Lim the harp part sounds like it starts playing reverie not long after
thinks its because of thw tremendous harp
Was wondering if anyone else noticed. :)
Beautiful!
As small as the forces involved are it is yet one of Debussy's greatest masterworks...
"Music is woman. It is impossible to realize how completely music is the feminine, which perhaps goes some way to explain why so often a certain chastity is characteristic of men of genius." (Debussy, quoted in Leon Vallas, 1929)
Thank you. I feel like i am a genius now, didnt have sex for almost 6 years, and i am 27 :D
A wonderful quote, but somewhat ironic coming from Debussy, a notable philanderer.
So what you're saying is.... No Nut November a good musician makes?
Yes, they were very chaste, the geniuses.. especially Liszt.
@@authenticbaguette6673hey... He was pretty chaste towards the end of his life lol
Thanks for the post, but the ad kills me every time
the late works of Debussy are often overlooked. I find their restrained classicism very poignant.
I find this piece to be eccentric. And poignant for it. :-)
But you must get Debussy when its young! When Debussy is old its ruined!
But for real so true. Love this piece

Thumbs down for audio ads right in the middle of the music.
Superbe!
I have to study this masterpiece for y Final Exams... !
I don't care what it is; it brings me into the alpha state
Debussy really loved the 9/8 time signature a lot
Claire de lunee
There's some Bruyeres in this beginning movement
I always think that, and also a bit in the second movement with the viola's tune at 9:49
14:09 I am going to steal and mess around with this excerpt, it really caught my attention. Unfortunately my sample librarys cant recreate the sheer amount of expression that comes out just 4 measures
The most avant garde of Debussy

Thanks. I will check out Leo Smit's piece as well
As a flute player this song has a really good part for the flute with the violin.
It’s a viola haha

You can even play the Harp part on Piano
11:14 sounds like it could have been from a Legends of Zelda game.
It could have been the other way around
why ads in the middle of the piece???? Oh Lord of $$$ $hame...
There´s a Chrome extension, maybe to other browsers as well, which removes all ads in RUclips. Check it!
