What is this piece?
on: April 13, 2012, 07:43:56 PM
Hi all.  This is a pretty nice medley I found on Youtube.. You might want to check it out.  :D  I'd like to know what piece he's playing starting at 3:10...  I've heard it before, but I really want to know the name.  Thanks and enjoy!  

EDIT:  ALSO, What is the piece starting at 4:20?  The jazzy one.

A link would almost certainly increase your chances of a reasoned answer ;D

3:10 is from Clair de Lune by Debussy.  I don't know about 4:20; it's probably some improvisation by the player.  On the whole I have to say I don't like the recording very much; it might be something to do with the recording quality but it sounded rather coarse.
Beethoven - Sonata in C sharp minor, Op 27 No 12
Chopin - Fantasie Impromptu, Nocturn in C sharp minor, Op post

That's what it is!  Thanks.  The recording might be a bit coarse, but, personally, I enjoyed it overall.

And before 4:20 it's "Un sospiro" by Liszt. (the exaggerated movements of the player don't really fit the beginning of this piece, which he's playing, btw.)

The piece you are inquiring about and appears in Youtube is Claude Debussy's Clair De Lune. It's a great piece of music. Hope this helps you.
