:) Hi, I am a person who very very interested about Clair de Lune .
Clair de Lune is a very meaningful music about moonlight. It is the 3rd
part of suite bergamasque and also the climax. Suite bergamasque is
original from a poem Clair de Lune by one of the Frence famous poet
P. Velaine . ( See below )
Moonlight
Your soul is like a landscape fantasy,
Where masks and Bergamasks, in charming wise,
Strum lutes and dance, just a bit sad to be
Hidden beneath their fanciful disguise.
Singing in minor mode of life's largesse
And all-victorious love, they yet seem quite
Reluctant to believe their happiness,
And their song mingles with the pale moonlight,
The calm, pale moonlight, whose sad beauty, beaming,
Sets the birds softly dreaming in the trees,
And makes the marbled fountains, gushing, streaming--
Slender jet-fountains--sob their ecstasies.
I am very happy to have a chance to play Clair de Lune .
Unfortunately , i am not as good as all of you . I am not
talented and have to struggle to play the beautiful masterpiece .
Clair de Lune require a big hand because the music gap is big.
This make my hand some time sore.
Any suggestion and opinion about how to play Clair de Lune
more perfect i very appreciate. All of you can also go to

I see that people here aren´t too eager to comment those blues things, so I decided to warm up some old classical pieces..

My teacher assigned me Clair de lune last night (I feel like a cliche - it is such a common piece, and I've played it before, but not with this teacher). I have the Dover edition, and there are no fingerings for the arpeggio in m. 29.
I am just doing what's comfortable for me right now (5-3-2-1-4-2, 1-2-1-2-3-5, 1-2-3-5-2-4), but I'd like to make sure I'm doing it right before I really cement it in my head. Does anyone use a different fingering?
Also, re: mm.42: My hands are pretty small (I can stretch to a ninth), and there's no way I can sustain that low F# under the arpeggio. Should I just pedal it?
Thanks guys. :) |

I have some question regardeing to Debussy Clair De Lune, (technical )
My question may be sound stupid.
1)Measure 1 to meas. 8 , there is no downbeat ? or not ?
2)Measure. 1 to meas. 14, the time signature is 9/8, it mixed with triplet and eighth notes. The rhythm of the melody is ambiguous, how to count the beat, (mixed with the triplet and eighth notes. )
3)Measure. 15 to meas. 26 , the expression marked as ” tempo rubato “, how to play freely in the manner ? what is free form ?
4)Measure 14 , there are 2 eighth notes, are marked with a ‘2’ , 2 duplet, how to count the beat ?
5)Measure 19, there is long sixth, marked with a ‘6’ , , how to count the beat?

I'm working on learning this and want to make sure I'm doing this the best way.

(changed pic to a link)
What is the best fingering for the left hand there?
Is it
5 3 2 1 4 3 2 1 2 3 4 1 4 1 2 3 2 3 ?
I'm not sure if it's that way because it's a little awkward going from 1 to 4 the first time.
And do you do it thumb under or not?

Was just wondering if anyone else had real trouble getting to grips with the speed and complexity of the left hand.
It's a real pain in the ass! Though such a great piece I am determined to see it through. |

Can anyone help me with Debussy's Clair De lune. I don't play piano much I'm more of a guitarist, but I can pull of some stuff with piano. Well my problem is in measure 27 when he starts arpeggiating the chords I don't know how to go about the fingering. It has to be done with just the left hand right? Please any help will be greatly appriciated I must learn this song it's sooo beautiful.
Thanks,
Toe-Knee |

| Starting with the 27th measure. Just how much do I finger with my left? I read somewhere its mostly the left hand but how do I know what to play and what not to with it? Thats also a fast switch if its mostly left. Anyone have any sites or comments it will be much appreciated. Also it seems with at least 3 of my recordings they dont hit the A note in the 27th measure at the end of the bar, instead ending with the D note instead. Anyone else notice this? |
