The premiere Arabesque, composed by Claude Debussy, was finished in 1891. Although an early work, Arabesque contains elements of Debussy’s impressionistic musical style, following the French visual art form.
Debussy wanders through various modes and keys achieving evocative scenes through music. The opening arpeggio suggests a water flow eventually leading into a heavier section. After a lightening of tone, the original progression returns and varies itself, then finally resolving back.
Arabesque is used by Alicia Keys’ track Like the Sea (The Element of Freedom). It is also used in the British television show Skins. It is used in JJ’s episode, along with other Debussy pieces such as Clair de Lune. The impressionist music reflects JJ’s emotions.
This song makes me happy.
This song makes me cry.
This song makes me sneez, and I feel content like everything is right and beautiful… mostly the sneezing though
Mr. Jordan
I don’t understood what you intended to say. However … I guess your intention was good.
Ahh… I love this piece. Most teens don’t get stuff out of classical piano but… I love it! Especially “Claire de Lune” but, of course, this piece is fantastic! The pianist is so precise!
Amazing
i enjoy this piece it reminds me of a little girls childhood or at least makes me think of it
I could listen to this over and over again. Lovely!
this is the first time i’ve listened to this one by Debussy, and i think its pretty, but Claire de Lune is still my favorite. It seems more mature than this one.
I’ve always loved Debussy’s work-his music is so inspiring!
I love this piece ,it’s very lovey.
Amazing song,
Was perfect in ‘All About Lily Chou-Chou’
this sOng makes me cry! :/(
This song is fantastic, but my favorite is Claire de Lune, its perfect.
I don’t have more words, Debussy was increble.
I do listen to it over and over again. It takes me to another time. I’m sitting on the 8th floor looking at concrete, but it makes me feel like I’m in a forest with sunlight streaming through the trees.
Sometimes when I hear this song I feel like if heaven exits..
I could listen it thousends times.
this song makes me love someone
Debussy’s music always makes me think of love, true love, and living life to the fullest.
This is definitely my favourite Debussy’s song!!! The sound and textures are just uncomparable.
I remember being a girl playing outside a garden with the song as beautiful as this came out, softly and never too loud. Like I mentioned, new ears for classical music. But this is just adorable
With due respect, this is not a song… It´s a piano piece! But I guess everybody listen that the piano is singing! Which is probably what Debussy was looking for… so Big Rescpect for Claude!!!
With due respect, this is not a song… It´s a piano piece! But I guess everybody listen to the piano sing! Which is probably what Debussy was looking for… so Nuff Respect to Claude!!!

This is such a beautiful piece. Next piece I’ll study and soon I’ll be playing it
I love Clair de lune
I have been exposed to this song since I was a young child. It would play during Jack Horkheimer’s Star Gazer on PBS. I was enchanted by it then and still am til this day. It reminds me of the innocence of ‘first love’ as it progresses through time…the excitement, exploration, contentment and sometimes fateful ending; but with longful reminiscing and the joy that comes when remembering your first love and how you will always cherish them.
Essa canção é linda, me faz chorar também, me faz sentir um misto de emoções que evocam a infância, inocência, sonhos… me evoca um baú de sensações perdidas no tempo…
É a minha favorita também.
Acho que é minha música clássica favorita… ouso dizê-lo.
Debussy, faria aniversário hoje, caso estivesse vivo. E, coincidentemente, o meu foi ontem…
Linda música , parece estarmos viajando entre as estrelas
Ele era muito bom no piano!
Ele é incrível.
Seja aonde ele estiver está de parabéns.
No other piece of music can stir up so many emotions, my all time favourite. Just beautiful.
It enhances the spirit and the soul. Brings peace and serenity.
I love classical music of any kind but this is amazing
Just beautiful – thank you!
it’s sweet.it’s love…sighs of the heart on the piano….
hahah Jordan…funny comment dude…this song makes me sneeze…priceless
I’ve always thought that this piece painted a very beautiful picture of a far away tent in the desert blowing very gently in the breeze… It’s a total favourite!
loved it, very beautiful. so like all the other people commenting on this page i’m following the trend and raving about it and my memories or what it reminds me of, oh well…
it reminds me of sitting on a swing in the middle of nowhere looking up at the puffy white clouds and lying in the green grass. a happy, feel good,serene sort of place.
This is a treat.
أعجبتني هذه الأغنية الرائعة و التي عنوانها : أربيسك شكرا لكم
Rainbows make me cry.
a piece that releases endorphin to the soul.
Subtly, sparklingly, lightly, brightly beautiful, yet soft and gentle – on the spirit and soul of man.
The Impressionism of Debussy is simply breath taking. I am always emotionally driven by his music. He always paints a picture!
ahhh… so peaceful and fun!
Love actually…
I love the first theme in this piece. It gives me the feeling I get when looking at the stars.
Probably because it was used in this old star gazing show http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JEMWN8SKJg
I would be up late studying and this song would pore into my poor sleep deprived brain and it’s SO beautiful. It really taps emotions unavailable to me in everyday life.
beautifull
I picture myself in some modest, sensible period costume (I am feeling very Jane Austen). I’m taking in the country estate’s air and feeling quite content. The sun is rising, there is a slight chill in the air. Of course, a charming man is filling my thoughts. I smile as I walk back to the grand home. Mr. Charming arrives at the house just as I do. We just sort of look at each other like we have some sort of secret that we just won’t tell anyone else.
It is so relaxing to hear this, just let’s you bath in the softness
I love impressionistic music, and art. Debussy is just a wonderful composer.
I find it amazing that some of the most amazing composers with the most beautiful pieces have some of the most interesting and frowned upon influences. Debussy is one of my very favorite composers and this piece is a prime example of this, but really, I’m amazed by the things he pulled out of thin air and put on paper while under the influence of Opium!
Good thing a work for singers is a “song” and a work for an instrument/instruments is a “piece”. A bit fast for my taste.
