Hi everyone, here is my final upload for this challenge. There are still technical things which I need to iron out on this piece (I still need to figure out the 5 finger exercises which inspired this piece……!) but with the time I had this is the best version so far. It was nice to come back to Debussy for this challenge and it was very motivating despite there still being work to do at the end. Derek

Hi everyone! Here's my video of Images oubliées I. Lent, mélancolique et doux. It's been one of my favorites for years, and I'm so excited to finally have learned it!
It was fun learning a piece that was fairly within my technical abilities, but so far outside of my interpretation abilities. I really enjoyed experimenting so much with the sound and little details. I could spend many months refining all that, but I'm proud of how far I got.

Thanks to Dominic and Tonebase for such a warm and supportive community. I really enjoyed learning Voiles, a piece I've always wanted to play. I think one of the surprises I had was that this piece really feels great to play, it's so well-written pianistically. I honestly thought going in that it would be awkward and uncomfortable, with it primarily a whole-tone piece. It was the complete opposite, truly. There are still many things I'd like to work on, but again I appreciate this opportunity!

I made it through approximately 80% of Voiles (from Book 1 of Debussy's Preludes), during the time of this challenge. Here's a recording of what I've managed so far, minus the last three lines of music which I haven't learned yet :D It's been rewarding learning something unexpected because of this challenge, and I now understand much better the difference between whole tone and pentatonic scales!
