Krystian Zimerman: piano

[@thomasblancbolelli]

Music is the silence between the notes - Claude Debussy

[@plasmaWisp]

Which is exactly why it pains me when people play this too fast. Zimerman's version here is the best I've found so far. He really lets it breathe.

[@useresu301]

I don't know who said it, but I'm pretty sure he/she was high as a kite, while laying down notes - you know, that stuff that isn't music :P (I, of course, appreciate the metaphor, but let's not kid ourselves here - it's a metaphor)

I like the dreaminess of Debussy. When I look out the window and I hear this song, I see everything in an impressionist style!

[@axleroast2674]

becomes even better when you start playing pieces. Debussy will always stay my favorite composer

[@MontoyaMatrix]

As a half-Classical pianist, when i played my first Debussy piece my fingers were so startled by the chordal and melodic movement that they didn't know what to do. I was just fumbling. It was like playing piano for the first time. And it took me so long to memorize the piece. Debussy started a different KIND of emotion.

Debussy is one of the only composers that has the ability to make up so well for the piano's weaknesses. His compositions are so amazing because he makes such great use of the instrument's strong suits and produces music that is unique and suits solo piano better than anything else.

[@userziocaro]

Ok fine... But this time... He turned gold in super gold

[@Brimboriions]

The dissolution of what we perceive as if a dream accompanied with nostalgia and a resigned good bye to what he knows was more than a vague mirage. His music rests on this question : where is she going, this young girl ? And with deep sadness and mourning, he repeats to himself this question : where is she going, this young girl ? No answers but the wind saying nothing explicetely and the silence succeeding to the breathings of the piano. I feel the longing, the certainty - the uncertaintety. Debussy, you are dear to my heart.

@@archsys307 I appreciate what you’re saying, but I have to disagree. There’s a beauty in its simplicity. It’s like a slow breath leading to a deep sigh of relief, it’s my favourite part of this song because it’s as short as it needs to be, and the quiet sense of triumph and comfort outweighs any excess that could have easily been added :) I’m glad we all can find and want different things in the music we love!

I haven\t played this for many years and so was consulted the score and was wondering about interpreting it afresh.
