I've pointed out this series that Anthony Tommasini at the New York Times is doing on magical musical moments in previous blog posts. But I wanted to highlight this one, because "Clair de Lune" is one of my favorite Debussy pieces, and one small piece of it is the focus of this video. Readers may know that I am an amateur pianist and have started taking violin lessons. I love music, and Tommasini really captures what makes this pieces so unique and special. Hope you enjoy the video as much as I do!
This blog is a place for me to chronicle my adventures in reading the Great Books, and share some of what I discover along this journey.
