Interpreting Debussy's Arabesque No.1 for Piano - Piano Interpretation

Understanding and interpreting your piano music allows you to bring your own unique flair and personality to a piece. Here we investigate this famous Arabesque written by Debussy during his early career and explore the hints of the Impressionism that are present in this work then goes on to explore aspects of structure, melodic design, harmonic framework, and texture that suggest ideas for interpretation in the use of balance, shape, rubato and other dimensions of a convincing performance. This video is useful for those performing this piece or other music of the period, and for those wanting to explore tools for interpretation in general.
