Debussy - Clair de Lune

I didn't mention this a few weeks ago, but Rousseau is now over 2 years old!! It's amazing to think how far we've come as a community in that time. I still remember those few weeks before uploading the first video that were filled with a ton of recording. I have not mentioned this before, but the original Clair de lune recording was actually the first video I created, essentially a sight-read test to experiment with video effects. I'll be honest, I was not expecting more than a few thousand views, and as of right now it has now been viewed over 19 million times. That is truly hard to comprehend. Now during lock down, reminiscing on those days, I decided it would be nice to spend a bit more time working on the piece, and remake the video in the 2020 style! I'm sure you'll agree, many things have been refined over those two years - one of the biggest things that stuck out to me was the velocity curves of the piano library being set too strong on the first video, making the recording sound like it's being played at f throughout, along with the color which quite a few people mentioned. I hope this one can be a fresh new take on the piece in this visualization style, that can please both the ears and the eyes 🙂 Wishing you all a happy and healthy Monday, and two weeks ahead ♥

Claude debussy began composing this piece around 1890 as the third movement to his suite, suite bergamasque. He accordingly disliked this viewing it as a inferior manuscript.

He was inspired by Paul verlaine's poem written in 1869 titled clair de lune. He completed it in 1905.once he published it, the public was crazy and ignored his late masterpieces. His publisher pressured him for money and he finally published it in 1905.

Probably one of the greatest pieces of music ever written

I feel like living in silent sunset in dandy world alone in peace ugh I need to stop sleeping

Lowk I love this simple yet beautiful song rn Im like half way in the first day and its so beautiful
Update : I went on a vacation right after the comment was made the forgot about the song but i js finished learning it and its peak (currently 1 am and im sleep deprived)

Imagine play this music in midnight

The un poco mosso 2:16

The un poco mosso part is usually with blurry and beautiful arpeggios

It resembles the moon.... Very much.. Timeless.... Emotional... Romantic... Ethereal...... Thank you❤
