 Clair de Lune
May 27, 2009, 09:22:07 PM by keyboard kitty

I've been learning Clair de Lune on and off for a bit of time now and have only managed to get to about 8 bars through the arpeggio part. I have been playing piano for almost 3 years and really want to be able to learn this piece nicely. Does anyone have any tips on how to learn it? Like what fingering to use, and do I just stress the 1st beats and a bit of the 2nd and 3rd? 
Thank you!

Fingering for arpeggios in Clair de Lune
October 27, 2008, 12:45:49 AM by xxmynameisjohnxx

Okay ui was wanting to know what the best fingering for the arpeggios starting at the bottom of page two. Currently, I'm using 5-2-1-3-2-1 and so on, but I didn't know if that was the best way to do that. I've been told that you aren't supposed to put thumbs and pinkies on black notes in arpeggios....but the you haveto jump a fifth as the first interval in the arpeggios and although I could get it to work with 4-2, it's significantly easier with 5-2. Thanks for the help in advanced!

 Debussy - Clair de Lune

 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
my topic "Claude Debussy piano works" by me ( a1 )
in sheet music request for voting. Thank you.

Fingering a la Debussy
May 25, 2005, 03:31:23 PM by celticqt

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.

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 was in Poland the past summer to give 2 concerts. At the last minute they requested some Chopin, which I had not brought with me. So, I google-searched for classical downloads and found your site. I was able to print out excellent editions of the pieces I needed within minutes. To find the scores locally would have been inpossible as it was a smaller town, the nearest music store 45 minutes away."
Robert York, pianist
Long Beach, California |
"Piano Street has been a wonderful tool to me as both a pianist and a piano teacher. I can browse the collection for pieces I want to play and/or have my students play. The difficulty rating system that Piano Street uses enables me to search by difficulty level for pieces at my students' various playing levels. It is helpful that many of the scores include an audio clip of the piece being played. I have recommended to my advanced students that they also join Piano Street since getting sheet music from there is a much less expensive alternative to ordering and paying for the music.
