Debussy: Deux Arabesques (Bechstein No. 5796)

[iumonito]

The piano arrived today.  This was me playing it for the first time at home.  The mistakes are all my own, none came with the piano.

May I know how long have you practiced this piece?

What recording device did you finally get?

[violinist]

The recording and piano has such a sweet sound!!!.

I love your interpretations.... wow.  I'm speechless at the moment.  Need to recover from this... whew!

Hi all,

Sorry, I had not seen I had replies!

Thanks for the comments.  V, you are too indulgent with me.  I am glad you enjoyed them.  I envision doing them again this year, maybe youtube them.  This is recorded using an Edirol R-09.  Nice little toy my wife got me for my birthday.

NN, I first read these a million years ago when I was a teenager/pre-teen, what 25 years ago or so?  I finally played them in public for the first time in a mini-recital I played at my church in July 2006, right at the time when I started practicing more seriously again (I earn my living as a lawyer and practice irregularly and only for pleassure).  These recordings were made about the time I posted them in August 2007, so approximately one year after the Debussy recital, having not actively practiced them in the meantime.  I just figured it was fitting music for the instrument.  I have been getting the itch to do the Debussy program again, so I may post them again.  They should come out cleaner and probably I will be able to play them from memory if I practice regularly for a while.
