I seriously have to practice piano tomorrow……this’ll be me.
That’s me trying to figure out how to play the Ravelian repeated notes.
Can’t resist a cat-at-the-piano reblog.

KItten on the Keys (by papersparrow)
Kensington!
Kensington decided to give me a lesson on Debussy’s Arabesque no. 1. His main critique was that I need to take the tempo down a notch and work on playing the triplets more evenly. He also reminded me to bear in mind the image of an arabesque in ballet or architecture, and that my shaping of the opening line must reflect those graceful curves. He said he thought I did well internalizing the character of the piece, but if I played with more clarity, “ït would help Debussy’s liquid surreality seem less muddy. In order to be effective it must needs be crystal clear.” (his words)
