I really like this video clip.
Really like it.
Can't quite put my finger on why I like it so much.
If I had to guess:
I think it has something to do with the combination of visual and audio input received at the exact same time.
I think that the neural messages sent by my eyeballs and the neural messages sent by my ears somehow bump into each other in my brain. {let's put brain science on the shelf for a minute.} They bump into each other and smile. The messages pair off. They bow and curtsy to each other. Then they begin to dance.
I love this song.
Bravo, Claude Debussy. You composed this beautiful piece in 1893. Somehow, I think that in your brain, you "saw" the visual beauty of this piece as well. (I hope you did.)
118 years later, here I am. Enjoying the beauty of Clair de Lune.
I think Debussy's Clair de Lune might be at the top of my want-to-be-able-to-play-this-on-the-piano list.
{Sidenote: friends, if you watch this clip, you might also have the urge to go to Vegas & visit the Bellagio Fountain. ha!}
