Aug 13, 2009 - Very nicely played. I meant to buy the sheet music for this today, it would be a nice one to play.

Aug 24, 2009 - Not bad.. but please.. in my humble opinion this song requires such a careful, elegant touch and, at most parts, a much slower tempo.

Sep 2, 2009 - You played this very beautifully!

Sep 20, 2009 - I really love this piece....well Debussy is one of my favourite composers so...xD But yeah, I think the speed is good, if it is slower it can become boring although if it's even faster it'll have no emotion, I like it :) but there's something I need to tell you, but please don't be mad, you can just try this out: try to variate the speed in some parts and also exagerate on Fortes/Pianos like you were gonna die or something! :DI loved to study this Reverie...please continue! :)

Jan 21, 2010 - Good but too fast... let the music ring out.. enjoy it. No need to rush on such a short piece. :)

Jan 29, 2010 - I love this most of all. I'm too impatient &'I much prefer this faster version. Keep up the good work. Now, if i could justfind a faster "Claire de Lune."

QueenlandProductions Says:

Feb 11, 2010 - At the beginning main melody then when it's repeated you're syncopating each note, when they're not supposed to be. 1:11-1:14

Mar 31, 2010 - bit fast.? no.?

Apr 25, 2010 - I would prefer it to have a more "weightless touch". Nice work though!

Jul 1, 2010 - I learned this when I was 11. I am 12 now. May I suggest that you could slow it down just a bit, it's a romantic song, not a race. I know I am in no place to critisize, but just some thoughts to put out there. I try doing it by memory ( I saw you turn the page) I learned this song in 7 months and preformed it by memory.

Jul 2, 2010 - Love the second version, this is lovely, but thank you for the 2nd version.

DunNotCome Says:

Aug 10, 2010 - i can hear rubato(unnecessary ones) + rush, relax, no ones goin to say ur bad or watever, jus play the song nicely. Careful of ur pedalling as well, tis piece is not a sudden staccato.

Sep 3, 2010 - Does anyone know if dere is a website or smth that i can find information for this piece? Its for the viva voce for my piano exam. Thx :)

cppeabody Says:

Feb 7, 2011 - This is my favorite intreperation of Reverie on youtube. I love the motion you give to this piece. You give it wonderful coloring and a bring a new dimension to it without robbing it of its inherient musical design. I love it. I haven't been able to play it anyother way since watching your vid, and I am very thatnkful for that. Wonderful job. Wonderful.

TheFaith318 Says:

Feb 22, 2011 - this is so beautiful!

MeikoEgloff Says:

Apr 4, 2011 - なぜ、オリジナル通りに弾かないの？勝手に編曲するな！失礼だぞ！作曲者に対しても、そしてピアノに対してもひど過ぎる演奏だ。引っ込んでな！しかし、こんな演奏を褒めるバカもいるから驚くというものだ。

Jul 13, 2011 - If you were truly playing this piece from the Heart it would be memorized.

spartan1081990 Says:

Aug 29, 2011 - too fast, out of tempo in some parts, beautiful nonetheless

sasser92 Says:

Nov 8, 2011 - This is the correct tempo for Reverie. In my opinion, I like it slower. But the tempo that Debussy has, it is meant to go faster than you would think.

LookinForMoon Says:

May 13, 2012 - Why this piece isn't as famous as some of his others, I will never know. :)
