Liszt is said to have composed it by 1848 and dedicated it to his uncle, Eduard.

It’s a perfect piece for relaxing at home or for an uninterrupted day off.

A soothing work that makes you want to close your eyes and listen.

Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15-13 “The Poet Speaks”Robert Schumann

Schumann: Scenes from Childhood, Op. 15 – 13. The Poet Speaks, pf. Márta Gulyás

No.

13, “The Poet Speaks,” from Scenes from Childhood, is a piece that maintains a gentle, calm atmosphere throughout.

It feels warm, as if a poet were speaking tenderly to children.

The music proceeds at a very relaxed tempo, and at one point the barlines are not written according to the meter.

This is a section meant to be played freely, almost improvisationally! Rather than simply lining up the notes, try playing while thinking, “If I play it like this, can I bring out the feeling of a poet speaking at ease?” Approaching it this way will deepen your affection for the piece.

Suite bergamasque, No. 3: Clair de LuneClaude Debussy

High-Quality Audio [Clair de lune — Debussy] Debussy — Clair de Lune / CANACANA

The third piece from Claude Debussy’s Suite bergamasque, Clair de Lune, is considered his most famous work.

It is frequently featured in concerts and used as background music in visual media.

This exquisitely beautiful piano piece evokes a dreamlike scene where the moon’s gentle light emerges in the night sky.

In terms of tempo and note density, it isn’t particularly difficult, but conveying the piece’s unique atmosphere is a formidable challenge.

You could even say that real practice begins only after you’ve finished reading the score.

Be sure to focus on the beauty of the sound and the calm, flowing lines as you practice.
