Feb 7, 2012 - @thecam4444 debussy was a hetero i believe i dont know if he had any children just wondering if maybe his great great grandchildren were still alive maybe?
smalin Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @elvispresley718 He had several affairs, but as far as we know, his only child died as a teenager (only a year after his death).
elvispresley718 Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @smalin That's too bad maybe his osn would have been a great composer as well

fknclarky Says:
Feb 8, 2012 - Is this considered a difficult song to play? I've learned the first 45 seconds and it's kind of a dream of mine to be able to play this but I've literally never had lessons and just started a few weeks ago.
thecam4444 Says:
Feb 8, 2012 - @elvispresley718 Oh. I read that he had one daughter but she died and he never had more so... I doubt there are any. Which is sad because then there would've been a chance to continue his great work through any of them.

smalin Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - @hs7290 There is pedal --- that's why it's possible to have more than ten notes playing at a time; when a bunch of notes end at the same time, that's usually because the pedal was released at that point.

Feb 9, 2012 - I'd rather have this played at my wedding than traditional stuff.
badassedsta Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - as with most of debussy's stuff.... truly an amazing composer
magnum13th Says:
Feb 9, 2012 - @fknclarky it took me months to learn it and play it well, and thats after playing piano for like 6 years =/you could probably learn most of the first 2 minutes pretty fast, but it gets more difficult after that point. practice arpeggios and get used to moving your left hand fast across a couple of octaves
MrBufellow Says:
Feb 10, 2012 - @magnum13th Really? I didn't find it that hard, I started it yesterday, and I can stumble through to 2:30 pretty well, just hesitation when I stop to find the notes on the phrase changing and I've played 3 years.
