agreeed ! this tempo is how i prefer it although the begining was too rushed for me.. rushing into the notes..

[@MICKEYISLOWD]

This slower tempo makes it even more dream like. My favorite piece ever. I get the same rush of emotions every time.

[@ifiolia]

☺️

[@samsilva3625]

Very true. So many people rush through it just to show technical skills and lose the dreamy quality.

[@thatskyvern]

I thought I am the only one! It made me wonder do I play it wrong because I like the tempo as this video? I like to express it more so I don't feel like rushing the piece

[@buzzy33]

Most pianists would play this at such fast speeds but the way you play it evokes the piece's tranquil and serene atmosphere as if the listener were in a secluded place with the beautiful view of mountains and the sky. 👏 This is amazing work.

[@amcdonal86VT]

IMO it sounds more tranquil faster. Seems more labored when played this slowly

[@leacasi8442]

Coincido . Esta es la velocidad en dónde mejor suena y se desarrolla la pieza

Love it played at this speed. Dreamy, magical, evocative. Bravo!

u should listen to debussy's own lol

[@subratadey3004]

Who have noticed the guy in the background with violin, his eyes are telling " Igna you have just played the strings of my heart and i am still vibrating" same happened here, so beautifully played !!

[@spacetaco048]

More like: His eyes were telling me he was having a staring contest with the camera and I think he's sure he's going to win

[@troyadtler45]

Not a violin but I get were your coming from

[@jessicazhao6309]

Yeah, that’s a Chello not a violin.

[@jimvids]

Yes i noticed his eyes

[@cynth0984]

he plays the cello, as can be seen in another video from the concert

[@jourdansarpy4935]

I feel like most people who play Debussy want to show off their own technical skill by rushing through the heavy parts instead of allowing each note the space it deserves. Thanks for slowing it down so we can hear the true beauty in this music.

[@yanndesdevises7670]

I agree but the thing is that witnesses of Debussy playing his own pieces did say he was playing them quite fast....

[@jourdansarpy4935]

@@yanndesdevises7670 The earliest videos on the internet of "fast" piano playing are not nearly as fast as the modern ones. I think he played it "fast" but not "fast" buy our modern standards.

[@whisky2roxy]

So much anger, negativity, suffering in the world today. And then you hear something like this, and it all fades away. At least for a few minutes the world is a wonderful place.

[@nerrdinho]

I’d figure its an long journey full of wonder learning to play this through the night.

[@maucast7717]

Finally! It is so beautiful to find someone who actually takes the time to feel and enjoy all the wonderful music beetwen those notes. Thank you Inga.

[@alfredolinguine9386]

There’s a sense of familiarity in this piece, even when you haven’t heard it before. Something like a long lost friend.

[@artfountain2095]

Well said; music that goes so deep in to the soul hints at a greater World that ours has flowed from. At least that is my hope and longing.

[@elisha6770]

Yes thats truly a pearl a jewerly of music especialy hear it by evening below the moonlight only not so popular as the Clair de lune I love them both

It brings me memories I never had…it just sounds so beautiful and magical…

[@yixinjournal]

Believe me. I have listened to many versions of this piece on KZbin and this one is the best version, without doubt. Her interpretation of this piece speaks directly to my heart, every note and every pause is just perfect

[@ifiolia]

Thank you very much for your nice words ☺️

[@jakeh2049]

I agree. This interpretation is on another level altogether. The slower, deliberate pace.. the dynamics.. the way she is phrasing it.. she is just speaking this piece from a deeper place here. It’s honestly amazing. So thankful for KZbin and the internet so that I get to experience things like this lol

[@ErfunSephideh-jx6ex]

He really put his whole debussy into it

[@mariesophie3053]

I love how the other musicians look at her enthralled. This is my favorite piano piece.

This melody stuck with me trought the years, it was the intro music of a children tv show I used to watch when i was 6. Everytime I hear this i'm back on the living room floor watching tv, camly hearing, fascinated, a strange but beautiful melody. For 6 minutes I'm 6 again.

Simply the best I have ever heard, why? because it has the emotion, flow, tempo, and dynamic of the romance it was composed with. Bravo

[@avanti1749]

Thank you for slowing down as much as you dared, there is power in gentleness. It was interesting watching the other musicians reactions to the way you played this piece, a piece they must be so familiar with, you even took them by surprise and then they just settled into your tempo with you. It was lovely.

[@Doctah_Ohigho1818]

Such a beautiful song (as is the actual pianist herself) for some reason this cover is powerful I can see the emotion (I play as well definitely not as good as this I've been working on this particular piece as well) Your cover is my new favorite I'll definitely listen more than once if this were a talent show it would be a humongous yes from me!

[@michaelhiggins7365]

This performance is simply captivating. Inga plays this piece so relaxed, so beautifully, the listener is wrapped in a feeling and emotion of tranquility. I think perhaps too, the Gentleman Cellist, is secretly in love with her, but then he does have very good taste.

[@brianlarter6576]

Thank you for this beautiful, and slower, performance of one of my favorite Debussy pieces. I love playing it, and it is also one of my favorite teaching pieces for my students. I play it almost the same tempo as you, maybe a little faster sometimes (depending on my mood!), but I let it 'breathe', and push and pull the phrases. You made my day - thank you. :)

One of three of my favourite performances of Arabesque No. 1 (the others being Paul Barton’s and Héloïse de Jenlis’)! I don’t want to focus on how it’s “supposed to be played” but personally, I appreciate this piece and absorb emotions more when musicians take their time to play it.

[@johnsnead2413]

Claude Debussy is one of my most loved composers. I have listened to this Arabesque "played" but never "felt" in such a way as this!!!!! I have listened to your rendition over and over because it is superbly and expertly performed in such ways as to create so many emotions in me!!!!!! My belief is that even Debussy himself would be enraptured and moved by your rendition!!!!! My great thanks to you for this extraordinarily poignant and beautiful piece, Maestra!!!!! Brava!!!!!!

[@ifiolia]

I am very happy to read your nice comment. Thank you very much.

[@mrnk7911]

[@shin-i-chikozima]

After listening to her incomparable performance , I might have a dream of Debussy watching her splendid performance . Didn't Debussy himself have the characteristic back view that I saw in the crowds of effulgent Paris ？ I feel a vague sense of nostalgia in this masterpiece . Her fabulous performance invites me into the unfathomably comfortable world, After listening to her unsurpassed performance , I might have a dream of Debussy watching her splendid performance From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵

[@conradinhawaii7856]

Absolutely stunningly played by Inga... Every detail. And, my opinion, Mister Debussy's "Arabesque No. 1" is one of The most beautiful piano solo pieces ever composed. Her tempo here is absolutely beautiful, but because this is such a lovely piece, it also sounds perfect at faster tempos. As an examply, thirteen year-old Lucy Illingworth performed it last summer at the Royal Festival Hall in London, during a broadcast of a television special, "The Piano", in which five finalist pianists performed and were judged by pianist Lang Lang and British singer Mika, and they chose her as the most outstanding. All the more incredible, since Lucy has been Completely blind and also autistic since birth. But there is a piano genius in that little girl's body and brain, as acknowledged by both Lang Lang and Mika, as well as her fellow pianists. And the quicker tempo in which she played the Arabesque, as well as the lovely movement of her head, back and forth as she plays, are Lucy telling everyone, "This is Me! I'm in here, behind my sightless eyes and the autistism you see!" Inga's and Lucy's versions of Mister Debussy's masterpiece are, to me, the loveliest I have ever heard, or am likely to hear. And as Lucy's amazing piano tutor since she was three years old, Daniel Bath (who is almost always leading Lucy to the piano and then sitting next to her when she performs in public, as in the video which I have included here), stated after her performance of "Arabesque" that evening, when an interviewer asked him, backstage, if it made him emotional, he answered, "Yes, it did! But, mind you, Lucy's playing Always has that effect on me. Makes you glad to be alive, really!" Likewise for Claude Debussy's lovely piano compositions. 💖😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXbTn6CurLCMsLcsi=YYJ-_yIiui-_XpQU

[@Luna_Boy]

It a piano player here but I feel like the trick to mastering this song is understanding that the melody is a completely indépendant emotional voice separate from the rest of the voices. Sometimes it lines right up. Sometimes it’s ahead. Sometimes it’s behind. I feel like this artist understands that

[@beebee2261]

Finally its all about music, not just show off....melt my heart ❤thank you

[@EddieReischl]

I feel like this is what Debussy had in mind when he composed this. He was a master composer of utilizing the space between the notes, and Inga is a masterful interpreter of it, and you can hear in her playing how much she loves the music that she plays.

[@flashtheoriginal]

Look beyond the mesmeric respect of the bow-tied cellist facing her, or the spellbound black-dressed concertmaster sitting to her left. At 43 seconds, at the left of frame, an oriental musician cranes her head forward into shot to take a breathtaking glance. And that symbolises the total majesty of this performance. Seeing world class musicians savour something special by homing in on another level of excellence lifts this performance beyond the pianist, the instrument, the orchestra, the venue, the audience......all of those elements come together to produce an experience that is all about the music. What could be finer than that?
