ABOUT THIS EPISODE
https://www.virtualsheetmusic.com/experts/robert/mastering-clair-de-lune-by-deb/ - Because the piano is a percussive instrument that decays the second you hit a key, playing lyrical music is a massive psychological illusion. In this masterclass on Debussy’s Clair de Lune, Robert Estrin shares a transformative phrasing secret borrowed from wind players. Learn why rushing through long notes ruins the iconic impressionistic mood, and discover how to practice without the sustain pedal to turn mechanical notes into a singing vocal line.
