Arabesque No. 1 - Claude Debussy (Guitar Arrangement)

[@swvitor]

I was hearing the piano version of this song and asked myself: " It's possible to play this in a guitar?". I thought "impossible" while typing the search input right before found this. Congratulations!

[@MrShagification]

Almost anything played on a piano should be playable on guitar. It's just a matter of arranging it to work for a different instrument.

[@jimmi-leekendall3240]

@@MrShagification Completely agree - I've finished the arabesque and have been working my way through Debussy's other works - Iv'e been recently reworking what's established for claire de lune, Bringing it closer to the piano. The Cathedral Piece is translating over in it's own charm

[@julianchoi816]

@@gab_14 It was called a guitar then. Even his predecessor German composer Beethoven knew the guitar, then why not Debussy, who is much closer to modern times as well as closer to Spain geographically?

I always felt like all the piano renditions I've seen of this piece were a bit too rushed for my taste, but not this. This is my absolute favorite performance, played at the perfect pace. Thank you so much!

[@dougjohnson3299]

Claudio Arrau presents a lovely interpretation of this work on the piano. His tempo tends to be slightly slower and he gives a much different impression of the composition.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

His performance is a great gift to Debussy lovers and guitar sound lovers

[@dustjunky2000]

Rarely do I get the chance to say 'I've never seen anything like it before', but today I do. It's one thing to be able to play such a technical piece on guitar, but to do so and make it beautiful is just jaw-dropping. I had to stand up and applaud this. BRAVO!!!! 👏👏👏

Just when I thought it couldn't be any more amazing you hit the harmonics. Stunning.

[@JorgeBennettCompositor]

This is the best guitar arrangement of this piano piece I have heard so far (congrats to the arranger), and Mr. Yoon's performance is absolutely delightful. I am showing this video to all my guitar students, so we can all see and hear how the magic lights and colors of debussy can also shine through the guitar.

[@dougjohnson3299]

Yes+!

[@bryanmendez2215]

I listen to this every time i need to focus. Highly motivating and relaxing. God bless the guitarist

[@timelwell7002]

I've just discovered that I prefer to hear a number of Debussy's pieces on guitar than on piano. Having made that discovery, I'm really enjoying these great performances here on You Tube - in this instance, my thanks to both Rene Izquierdo for the arrangment, and Yeram Yoon for this excellent performance. The piano doesn't do harmonics, but the guitar does - and the tone of a fine classical guitar seems so much better suited to some of the impressionist repertoire. My thanks also, therefore, to Mr Jeff Sigurdson for making such a lovely sounding instrument.

[@markoschatziathanasiou6754]

you may also like the sound of debussy's pieces on harp too then!

[@donnyl0907]

For me it’s harp, even though I am an avid pianist.

[@markoschatziathanasiou6754]

Actually... The longest time breath held voluntarily (male) is 24 min 3.45 secs and was achieved by Aleix Segura Vendrell (Spain), in Barcelona, Spain, on 28 February 2016. Aleix is a professional freediver. The attempt took place at the 17th Mediterranean Dive Show. Here's the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmmcnIxrmtyap7c And, the longest time a woman hold the breath underwater is 18 min 32.59 sec and was achieved by Karoline Mariechen Meyer (Brazil) at the Racer Academy swimming pool, Florianópolis, Brazil, on 10 July 2009. Karoline is a professional freediver who trained for four months to try and break the record. Prior to the attempt she inhaled oxygen for 24 minutes. But hey, you held your breath longer then me and most people can 👍

It’s in the key of D major, whereas the original is in E major, so you should shift all of the notes down by a semitone, for an exact transcription. For this version, it is arranged by Rene Izquierdo.

Yes the only difference is a few different fingerings here and there and a few different chord voices but probably about 90% or more is exactly the same. I'm learning this piece currently and reference both Rene's and Eduardo's arrangements and mostly it's the same.
