Two different versions of Clair de Lune
-
The alleged piano roll recording labeled as being performed by Claude Debussy is not a piano roll recording of Debussy. There are a couple of versions out there pretending to be his performance but are just click bait.

So, do you have a favorite version of CdL?
I like both of these versions. I feel that a lot of performances, including from world class pianists, are self-indulgent, sometimes to the point of distortion.
Debussy playing his own music is from a music roll and there is probably a bit of nuance lost, but I still think it's an incredible performance.
Link to video Link to video@Bernard ooh thanks for posting those! I didn't really like the first one, but I really like the Pascal Roge's playing!
It's fun to listen all these different versions, esp. because usually that's not something I do (since I don't generally play classical pieces).

I found we had a copy of CdeL
Have played it through, it has no suggested fingering whatsoever. Do any?

@andyd Thanks for that link. I just bought the Henle version, which says that it includes fingerings by someone named Hans-Martin Theopold. They look to be different than the fingering in the score you linked to.
Looking at this score, it just looks daunting to me… we’ll see. I start fall lessons in the first week of Sept with a new teacher at the uni music school here. I don’t think I’ll work on CdL before than, but maybe I’ll poke at a few measures just to see how hard it is to read…
