Claire De Lune by Debussy- needs no words.

I have arranged this firstly in the key of C. I tried to keep as much of the original as possible in terms of detail and some of the difficult octaves and hard to reach chords have been carefully arranged. What I wanted to do was to give intermediate pianists who were perhaps not quite ready for the full version, an opportunity to play a version of it, also for pianists who would appreciate a slightly modified approach.
I didn't want an "easy" version as such,but one that retains the qualities of the original. It is a beautiful piece which can be used for concerts, recitals, weddings,celebrations etc
I have listed this as Advanced intermediate, but it crosses the line to Intermediate on a number of ocassions.

Originally for piano and orchestra, I have carefully arranged the beautiful romantic themes of this piece for solo piano. I have combined the orchestral textures with the piano solo to bring them together as a cohesive piece. There is no stretches greater than an octave, and the part is heavily reduced from the original-but the piece still falls into advanced intermediate as I have kept the passion (just less notes!) Each section could easily be used as a separate piece.
The full score is 11 pages and it is nearly10 minutes long- for full suitability on level of difficulty, the youtube link provide the full score- I wanted to give opportunities for pianists to play an easier version of this fabulous piece. I made the recording live on a digital piano, with technology to enhance.
Great for valentine's day, weddings, anniversaries, romantic events, it's a firm favourite with lots of people as the themes are so memorable- just fantastic to play.
