Debussy plays Debussy | Clair de Lune (1913)

As some of you may know l am learning the piano. The student who's lesson is before mine is 10 years old, and, l was told this week that this sweet little girl started piano lessons at age 4. I'm quite a bit older than that. I wish l had started earlier but it's never too late and l love my lessons. This is the piece l want to be able to play. Debussy was a wonderful composer and Clair de Lune is such  beautiful, almost ethereal music. This rendition is by Debussy himself. What a treat.

When will it end.



Here in Melbourne we have outbreaks of Covid19 in several different  areas. People are advised not to travel to or from these areas and the relaxing of more sanctions today are now on hold.

So much of the world is grappling with this virus. My heart goes out to all those who are sick and it's a  tragedy that so many have been lost. 

Whole sectors of business are on hold, and, me desperately missing the arts does not compare. I do miss it though. That got me thinking. I want to see ballet and will see ballet.

For the next few weeks  l am going to be posting ballet from all around the world. And I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and donate to more companies. Not huge amounts, l can't afford that. What l can do is give small amounts with thanks. I would be paying to  see them in person and l want them to continue. 

So this is what l will do.
