for the first time tonight, thanks to you, after almost a year of insanely hard work, i have been able to play this in it’s entirety.

I just found this out today. It’s mind blowing how much the music matches the words of the poem.

[@ellegaardYT]

Votre âme est un paysage choisi Que vont charmant masques et bergamasques Jouant du luth et dansant et quasi Tristes sous leurs déguisements fantasques. Tout en chantant sur le mode mineur L’amour vainqueur et la vie opportune, Ils n’ont pas l’air de croire à leur bonheur Et leur chanson se mêle au clair de lune, Au calme clair de lune triste et beau, Qui fait rêver les oiseaux dans les arbres Et sangloter d’extase les jets d’eau, Les grands jets d’eau sveltes parmi les marbres. 1869

I was just thinking about learning this after Chopin’s nocturne in E flat major! Thanks Hugo!!

[@lialou119]

That's my favourite, I learnt that in a yamaha keyboard by slowing the tempo down and watching the keys. This is a lot harder in my opinion to play because the left hand in clair de lune is hard to master

spet 3 hours practicing and im at 0:49. edit: i didnt realize how hard this is gonna be, this is my favourite song ever so imma learn it whatever it takes, lets hope next year i have it down

a but after that point it kind of repeats the chords just doing a lot at the same time in different octaves so it should be easier, id say the hardest point of learning it is at 2:09

Thank you for making this midi without rubato and with the original 9/8 time and 3/2 polyrhthym. My teacher is having me count the beats along with the music in order to get a better feel for the rhythm. Most midis are of a basic version and most recordings include rubato which really throws me off even though for the most part they are still on beat.
