  • Here is my complete tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Clair de lune by Claude Debussy.
    In this video, I teach practicing and learning this piece with hands separate and both hands.
    The methods I am showing will help you create a transparent and colorful texture when playing it.
    I also focus on pedaling, timing, and giving you some suggestions on designing your interpretation.
    Good luck!

    Out of all the videos I have watched while learning this song yours is by far and away the best in terms of structure. Having a pedal cam has been incredibly helpful through many sections of this as a beginner. Big thanks for your content!

    This is very helpful! I'm relatively new to the piano, but I have played this piece on classical guitar before (arranged by James Edwards). It's a delight, and I'm sure this video will help improve my interpretation of both versions.

    Your videos are superb. It's hard to imagine a better presentation for beginners or even for intermediate students. As to the final performances, students might go to RUclips and check out some of the world's greatest pianists. They play with more flexibility, nuance, and color than we find here. But they tend to be older, and for pianists, freedom often seems to develop with age. There is also the matter of the recording quality. Pianos are hard to record, and I'm not sure that the recording here does the performance justice. Still, a very fine tutorial.

  • @rothschildianum

    At 13:24, the last arpeggio of the
    middle section, did you reach Ab with your pinky and C with your thumb, simultaneously?
    Oof, I can’t do that..

    • @Antune
      @Antune  3 года назад +2

      I am not playing it simultaneously but being able to reach this interval helps me to do it with less effort.
      You can do it with a quick wrist rotation ➡️
      Good luck!

    This is an incredible video. I was pushing all the chords with the same pressure (you can see in my RUclips video) and now I realize what I need to do to get more melody out of highlighting the right notes. Thank you!!

  • @AvioInsane
    @AvioInsane Год назад

    At 11:39, how are the low notes sustained although you lift your foot off the sustain pedal?

    • @Antune
      @Antune  Год назад

      The pedal is changed halfway so the low notes can be partly sustained.

    Do you need to connect the slurs even with the pedal?

    • @Antune
      @Antune  2 года назад +2

      Absolutely! Because connecting them with fingers is a different attitude and gives a more connected feeling with or without the pedal, as it affects the way you press the keys.

      Well, if you've never played the piano, do not start learning this piece. It is pretty difficult. You can start to learn it when you'll be able to understand everything that says..

    • @munzutai
      @munzutai 27 дней назад

      I disagree. He already has a tripod and uses it for other shots. Attaching the camera to himself gives me a sense of what he's looking at and how he's moving his body to the music. I personally like it and don't find it nauseating but I understand if you do.
