Debussy - Arabesque No.1

Thank you for your comments.

You play it a zillion times better than me because I don't have the technique yet for this, but my idea of how to play it is different from yours. I think I want to play it in a more dreamy state of mind, perhaps slower, so my spontaneous reaction here and there is "no, wait - breathe!" A sort of more dynamic playing.

But it is always interesting to hear other interpretations than the ones you have figured out for yourself. That's what I love with Debussy, the freedom I feel, all the different expressions and possibilites.

This is very beautiful and expressive! I would personally slow down a bit and play it more lightly, like bronnestam said about it being dreamier. But it's still a great interpretation. There are so many interpretations of Debussy, and I have to say my personal one is a bit on the slower and quieter side, so don't entirely trust me, but this is great and I'm sure Debussy would have liked this!
