ClairE de Lune ... Don't know why I wrote the title wrong :P Whatever - it was a tough challenge, didn't expect it to be that hard :P Have you ever played this piece? Tell me in the comments!

Clair de Lune is an example of “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. In this case, don’t judge a piece without looking and analyzing the music sheet first.

I love the vibes of this video, the big piano, her long brown hair, the white dress, clair de lune.its honestly so beautiful<3

[blauwblauw]

Im currently learning this piece and just now I realize how many mistakes im making

[sweetpresten]

Honestly kinda love that the alarm startles her, because it shows how into the music she gets, forgets about the world, then the alarm brings her back to reality <3

It is so heart warming to see such a beautifully talented young artist striving for the best.
I am 78 and just starting to learn what I always wanted to learn, Claire de Lune. Better late than never.
Thank you Annique, you inspire me.

You made more progress in an hour than I did in 2 months

[bentonjackson]

The problem is you're counting in German. You need to count Debussy in
J/K, this is delightful. I've been plunking at this all my life, you've inspired me to maybe work on it a bit more.

[tejaswi]

I’m surprised she hasn’t played Clair de lune even though she’s a classical pianist haha. Anyway she’s a great pianist and of amazing skill! Keep it up Annique

[WondrousHello]

Sometimes I’m amazed at how many really famous pieces she’s never played before. It’s great of course because now we have this video but still...surprising at least.

[Berzhingue]

The first three seconds are gold. It’s me, each minute of my piano practicing.

[devynwevyn]

the dress? the hair? The gorgeous piano? The PLAYING? Are you an angel???

[clearhythm]

I've definitely spent several days with this piece. I appreciate seeing someone fairly accomplished make many of the same inevitable flubs with fingering (admittedly, she gave herself very little time) but it reminds me that regardless of how accomplished you are, we need to go through the same learning curve. Some of us walk it faster than others, but we all must walk it. Debussy's music has tremendous room for finesse and expression, so can continually teach us the more we work with it. Thank you for an amazing video!

This pianist needs a lot more attention and subscribers because her piano playing and technique is unbelieve. “Whose with me”

[nippiepixels]

Aaah, fangirling! Debussy is my favorite and it’s always nice to hear musicians play his pieces. So it’s even more exciting for me to see you pick this for this challenge. I really love hearing you play. Love this series of yours and def one of my fave classical pianists! ✨

I got a little advice from my music teacher when started to study this musical work. He said count 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3 each measure. It helped me a lot with my study. Like to share it with you guys :)

[mitcar]

It's really encouraging to see a classical pianist struggling this much! Usually you only get to see pianists in "performance mode" when everything is perfect.

Ich glaube du bist die einzige die versucht es einigermaßen so zu spielen, dass man die interessanten Polyrhythmen hören kann und ich finde es gut dass du das machst! Die machen das Stück wirklich interessanter.

[streetcat]

The most beautiful tune ever composed, hardly a evening goes by without this being sampled for an advert.

This piece was my first real project my teacher gave me I put a lot of effort in. Learned it in Summerbreak 2018. Always come back to it since it introduced me to real classical piano. Am 17 now and by no means a good pianist but Debussy remained a big part and I've learned a lot more from him since. Oh und Grüße aus Baden Württemberg :)
