Hello.

I'm Cattleya.

Since I am practicing two songs Debussy's song this year,

I would like to tell you easily what kind of person Debussy is like this time.

"Rain Garden" in "Prints"

In the case of

Here is my recommended "rain garden" link here

A song with a lot of very fast and fine sounds.

A lot of sounds like rain comes out.

"Reflection of water" in "prints"

Very beautiful song. It is a fantasy song, as a series of sounds are flowing.

Click here for my recommendation "image" link

These are the songs that I practiced this year.

I like both.

Is not it a beautiful song?

There are also other things in Debussy's songs.

I played around elementary and junior high school students

as "Arabesque No. 1" "Arabesque No. 2".

Similarly, all songs in "Bergamask Suite"

"Prelude"

"Minuet"

"The light of the moon" My recommendation "the light of the moon" link

"Pass Pie"

My recommended one "Bergamask Suite" I played all the link of 4 songs.

Nostalgic.

I like Debussy after all.

Claude Achille Debussy (Claude Achille Debussy)

1862.8.22 Born in Saint-Germain-en-Ray ~ 1918.3.25 Died in Paris

As the founder of impressionist music, we also played a whole new world of beauty in piano music.

Many of its masterpieces are works of high psychic spirit, prominently refined prosodic, and Impressionist paintings such as Manet, Monet and Degas (Monet etc) as they sounded the piano.

A rich sense of color that overflows and a flickering transparent flow.

I like Debussy.

Because I feel bright light and delicate color in the sound of the sound.

Debussy, who was active in the late 19th and 20th centuries, constantly sought for new techniques and expressions, so his work for piano is extremely versatile both methodically and contentally.

Depending on the age of composition, it is divided into three periods.

Phase 1 1888 - 1890

Phase 2 1901 - 1907

Phase 3 1908 - 1918

By the way, although it is a beautiful debussy of chords, in his student days melody like he makes is not accepted, the work written by Debussy in class of composing law is not served by the teacher, classes of composition law I did not get the unit of (laugh)

It is interesting.

Phase 1 1888 - 1890

The first period, beginning with "Arabesque" (1888), began showing "Bergamask Suite" (1890), a unique impressionistic color, but it seems that it was not complete yet.

Phase 2 1901 - 1907

Fellowship with literati people and painters gathered at the salon deepens and also reflects the influence of the music of the Russian five people to the unique world while reflecting the essential difference between ethnicity and culture, while reflecting Time.

He seems to have pioneered the world of his unique new sensation.

Songs that I played this year, "prints" and "images" are also of this time.

Phase 3 1908 - 1918

It seems that the technique of Phase 2 was completed as "Child's territory" and "Prelude" at this time.

In an entirely new sound world, singing, dancing and meditating freely.

Here all the techniques are freely used in combination, showing amazing harmony and completion.

That's all,

It was easy to explain Debussy!
