This is a video from my second solo piano recital, performed on July 14, 2013. This recital was a performance of preludes by Claude Debussy, and this piece is Ce qu'a vu le vent d'Ouest (What the West Wind Saw), from Preludes, Book I. Apologies for the awkward camera angle - our piano is in the corner of the living room, so it's a bit difficult to film on a Flip camera in a way that can show the performer's hands and profile without the side wall getting in the way. This was the sixth piece I performed. This piece is so difficult...I especially found the triplet passages and staccato chords to be difficult to play accurately. I have actually found it to be more difficult, in many ways, than Feux d'Artifice, which I played as the finale to the recital. While this performance could have been cleaner for sure, I do feel that it turned out reasonably well. Hope you enjoy.
