Outro: Debussy - Clair de Lune

Hello, I'm Rousseau, I make piano covers of classical and pop songs with a reactive visualizer. New videos every Monday!

[Rousseau]

A lot of you have been asking for more Debussy, so here is Arabesque No. 1! I want to thank everyone for their support recently, we just hit 1, 000, 000 channel views and are approaching 20k subs. Next week is another pop cover, an arrangement of Post Malone's 'I Fall Apart', what would you like to hear me perform?

[krronos]

4:27 descending melody kills me every time, amazing.

[ijnnojj]

In my opinion Debussy is the greatest composer of his time. Every piece is so wonderful and calming in its way

[M_iox]

My favourite piano piece, it sounds just like the stream flowing and the clouds floating which brings relief and pleasure.

[xbenci]

this piece recalls a memory I've never had

[nsq]

0:20 this sounds so majestic and dreamy

[Yelooh]

It's refreshing to see this done at a slower tempo. SO many performances of this piece I feel are horribly rushed. This is one of my favourite renditions!

[killercid]

I always wonder what someone like Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc. would think if they heard pieces like this. Guys like Debussy took the piano to such greater heights of expression over pure virtuosity.

[Cookerab]

The last arpeggios at the end from 4:12 forward in my mind are one of the most beautiful resolutions / endings to any classical piano piece ever.

[redcoin]

"So is the melody in the left or in the right hand?"
"Yes."

[Blazer]

Almost 3 years ago, my mother passed away. I was only 12 but I still have so many memories from being with her. One of my memories include her playing this song. She was practically a pro when it came to her piano skill and this was one song she played often. I'm not that good with the piano but someday I'm going to master this song for her. Hopefully I'll be able to play this just as well as she could.

I think I understand what Debussy was trying to convey. Life is intrinsically beautiful. And the utter serenity of this piece from start to finish is trying to convey that. I think of this piece as an opportunity to take a moment to stop thinking, worrying, planning, dreaming, wishing, etc and see the way life is and just bask in its utter beauty.

As a kid, my old keyboard had a function that was able to teach me how to play songs, and this was one of them. I remember practicing for so long trying to learn it. I only got down about a quarter of the song, but I would listen to it over and over again, I thought it was the most beautiful song... and to this day it gives me great childhood memories

[ana-cwzz]

I finished learning this after 6 months yesterday. Just sat staring at my piano and bawling my eyes out. Can't believe I actually did it

[GhazyAzhar]

1:38 everytime "Clair de lune" ends in rousseau

[chloej]

For those who are having trouble with the syncopation I recommend drawing lines between the left and right hand signs to show which ones should be played together and which ones should be played in between. It really helped me to get it right ;)

[IntricateDolphin]

I never really cared about classical until I found this channel and now I'm tearing up. I love this song.

[lucasphillips]

I can't believe it. 1 year ago I liked the comment stating "My dream is to play this one day". I dreamed of playing it, and about 5 months ago, I set out to learn it. I hadn't had lessons for almost 2 years (although I was practicing every day) and after 2 ish months, I finally learned it. I hope you guys can too.

[ippotsk]

When it comes back to the initial motif at 3:18, my jaw drops.

[edouarddalphond]

I swear, I’m going to learn this piece. I’ve been playing piano and taking piano lessons for 10 years, but I have never learned a piece by myself, alone, with just the sheets. I will play this one day.
Update : it was pretty easy it took me about 2 weeks to master it. Now I can play Liszt and ravel with no problem
