Debussy - Prélude à l'aprés-midi d'un faune

[@LukeFaulkner]

This is a masterclass in arrangement.

[@marinadela1361]

The first purely impressionist piece right here.

[@Dylonely_9274]

V. Gryaznov is a true master.

[@wangxinghan9913]

The entire build up from 5:28 to 6:28 is definitely a goosebumper, reminds me of the second movement of Rachmaninoff piano concerto no.3

[@usntdnv]

Truly agree. Great minds think alike❤

[@martimtavares3692]

my god, never thought a piano transcription could render this so well. Receive my warmest compliments! The playing is absolutely superb, and sometimes i find it difficult to believe that only two hands are in play,,,

[@MalabarTheGreat]

Brilliant transcription and performance! So much of the orchestral color is preserved.

[@peterlunow]

this transcription in itself is genius is a masterpiece WOW!

[@Chachboon1]

5:39 always gave me chills in the orcehstral version - and so did this! Great to see this is on the FTCL diploma list too.

[@EpreTroll]

Wow that's really something. How does one read 3 or 4 lines at once tho damn

[@felixmladenov]

It actually makes everything easier because the score isn't as crammed up like that. Debussy himself liked doing that in his Préludes and other piano works as well.

[@stravinskyfan]

​@@felixmladenov easier to learn, harder to sight read

[@hk4672]

I've learned to play this. It's still a work in progress, but it gives me goosebumps every time I get to the end and transports me to somewhere I don't really know but I miss so much. Thank you, Mr. Gryaznov. This is probably one of the best transcriptions ever written in the history of piano music.

[@tempestsp]

Impeccable arrangement and performance; the intricate counterpoint is dizzying. 5:38-6:25 is the best; I like the creativity and sheer 'boom' he adds to it.

[@oudompianist5594]

this section is probably some of the most gorgeous piano writing ever.

[@VyacheslavGryaznovPiano]

Now you can see how it is played by 2 hands :) C. Debussy - Prélude à l'aprés-midi d'un faune

[@789armstrong]

Please make a Concert arrangement of Tchaikovsky's 'Valse Sentimentale' thank you.

[@mariusherea1440]

Fantastic transcription! Debussy would love it! Bravo Vyacheslav!!!

[@toothlesstoe]

*would have loved

[@SpaghettiToaster]

No, he also would love it if he were alive today. It's a correct sentence, so move along.

[@doctornoxx6637]

Как это замечательно сыграно.Какое чудное туше Просто волшебно.Нет слов!!!.

[@dou40006]

I am mesmerized by this piece of music, how possibly the human brain can create something as complex and so creative still so beautiful. We can't really appreciate how revolutionary this piece of music was at the time of its first audition in 1894. Debussy was a outstanding genius, whose contribution to music is by far the greatest of any composer , he is the root of the modern music. And playing this on the piano with two hands s beyond human to me, Bravo !

[@gustavertboellecomposer]

the piece was transcribed to piano from orchestra by the guy running this channel btw. If you are aware then sorry it just sounded odd idk

[@Scriabin_fan]

Debussy has probably the most unique voice as a composer. His music is almost it’s own genre and you’re right his contributions to music are undeniable.

[@marcusguyton3062]

I believe you personified Claude Debussy very well! The bit from 4:15 to 4:25 makes me lost for words... It's so romantic, yet abstract. Maybe that is what love is.

[@wolflover8765]

You sir, are incredible. Your arranging ability is above and beyond, and your playing is GORGEOUS!

[@astonmusic]

So amazing

[@DennisCaffey]

Very beautiful music and superb rendering of this masterpiece on the piano. Bravo!

[@BenSadounJeremie]

I learned that Ravel used to say that Debussy's Faune was total Perfection. This transcription is also i think the most perfect to me. This is perfection added to perfection...

[@gilbertorosales863]

Claude Achilles Debussy, a music magician, a genius that embodies glamorous and heart touching music

[@noelhutz]

Absolute insanity! Gorgeous arrangement of maybe the most perfect piece ever composed...

[@fernandorangelpinheiro2544]

I never saw such a wonderful performance... a superb sonority!!!!!

[@pozsoz]

this piece introduced me to the world of orchestral music, but now you make it sound as if it was conceived just for the beauty of the piano. i bet if debussy were alive and heard this he'd feel honored, you are a great pianist and intepreter.

[@PianoDreams]

Vyacheslav Gryaznov your arrangements never cease to amaze me... You're really really good at this!

[@jorgefraile218]

He must be a God then because HOW can a human can transcribe something and make it sound like one of the most beautiful piano pieces on earth?!

[@alvinkuo777]

Breathless...I am after hearing you play. Your transcriptions are nothing short of genius; you keep the spirit of the composer in the piece alive without sacrificing originality. I love it.

[@radiokid2]

Absolutely brilliant...I'm not surprised that it's a transcription. The rhythmic grace and tone color show that the act of hearing the orchestral version a million times has transferred into your hands. What instrument is a piano?,...ANSWER- whatever a players "hears" it to be. The best jazz players discovered that 100 years ago. Brave....way to go Vyacheslav!!

[@musicfanBRA]

Marvellous interpretation. It flows from the piano like a river....

[@Tunaan360]

One of the greatest transcriptions of any piece I've heard.

[@johnlawrencegithens3524]

Thanks!

[@789armstrong]

I don't believe it would be humanly possible to create anything more exquisite than this piano solo transcription.

[@VyacheslavGryaznovPiano]

I appreciate your words. I think this work is one of the best I've done so far.

[@npelletier89]

This is awesome. I'm grabbing the score for this to add to the massive heap of Debussy sheet music I already have haha

[@joelsaucedo5607]

oh my god the harmonics in here is just so overwhelmingly beautiful. This is the most perfect music.

[@gianpierofaravelli4804]

Gorgeous! I bought a CD of Vladimir Ashkenazy conducting this when I was 14 and would just lay back and get lost in it. Thanks for the lovely performance. Takes me back :o)

[@BW92116]

This is the best rendition of this piece I've heard so far.

[@paulcummins6780]

This is the best transcription ever written in the history of music!

[@BearAZ]

A stunning transcription, but more so because of your seemingly superhuman ability to create truly ravishing pianistic color!

[@iedesnoek]

A transcription worthy of Debussy! Bravo, sir! (And I must add, a great performance too)

[@violetavalery]

[@ajayaymusic]

Congratulations. What a fantastic transcription and so beautifully played. I can only imagine how much care went into this. Superb. Bravo.

[@tradivoro]

Vyacheslav, this is an amazing transcription and your playing is beautiful. I've heard this piece many times and there are harmonies and things in there that you brought out that the orchestral version doesn't do as well and makes me appreciate how unique Debussy truly was... thank you for putting this up... Great work!! :)

[@DanielSabzghabaei]

Really a fine transcription. Wonderful. The orchestration comes right through the piano. Nice work.

[@HarDiMonPetit]

Wonderful ! One could wonder about the interest of transcripting such a piece. But curiously, the relative uniformity of the timbre of the piano makes the structure more easy to hear without being overwhelmed by the sumptuosity of the orchestra. I don't mean here at all that your transcription is anyhow dull : it's lively, supple and pianistic - and your piano has its own sumptuosity. And it makes hear so clearly the lines. Thank you !

[@SpencerMusicSchool]

This is a stunning version Vyacheslav. I perform a great deal of Debussy too. And Happy Birthday Debussy (Aug 22).

[@mortenrobinson5421]

Interesting with a piano interpretation of this 🙂 I didn't think this composition would lend itself as good as it does to the piano ❤

[@christopherhill2786]

Love the delicate, retrained performance. Best piano arrangement I've found by far. Genius. I think this song sounds best without all the other orchestral instruments in fact. Tritone structure is beautiful.
