Claude Debussy and piano education

bakımından tondan tona yumuşak geçişler yapmıştır. O döneme kadar alışılmış akorlardan farklı olarak artık, eksik, uyumsuz aralıklar kullanmıştır. C. Debussy, piyano eserlerinde çeşitli müzik formları kullanmıştır. Sözgelimi "Arabesque No: 1", (Mi Majör) parçasında A - B - A formunu, "Golliwogg's Cakewalk" (Mî bemol Majör) parçasında ise A-B-A-B formu v.b. C. Debussy, müziğe getirdiği yeniliklerle 20. yüzyıl bestecilerine ufuk açmıştır. L. v. Beethoven' nin klasik dönemden romantik döneme geçişi gibi, C. Debussy' de modem müziğin başlangıcına damgasını vurmuş ve çağımızın daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlamıştır. Piyano Eğitiminde mutlaka öğrencilere eğitsel amaçlı C. Debussy' nin piyano parçalan çalıştırılarak, çağdaş müzik konusunda bireyin gelişmesi, yetişmesi sağlanmalıdır. O'nun izlenimciliğinin daha iyi anlaşılması için C. Debussy' nin eserleri diğer piyano eğitimcilerinin eserleriyle karşılaştırılmalı ve açıklamalı bir şekilde verilmelidir. SUMMARY The purpose of my thesis to analyze the style of C. Debussy with the newnesses which C.

C.Debussy used his own technic method. The concept of "Silence" is important in the piano works of the composer C. Debussy who uses the harmony of nuance oftenly, fie had used soft transpositions from one tone to another tone with regard to the variation of tones. He operated additional, incomplete, inharmonies interludes which are different from the well-known chords until that era. C. Debussy had used varied musical forms on his piano works. For example, the form of A-B-A in the piece of "Arabesque No : 1" ( Mj.)and the form of A-B-A-B in the piece of" Golliwogg' s Cakewalk" ( Mj.) C.
