"Arabesque (Two Arabesques)", one of Debussy's most famous early songs, begins with a beautiful melody. Debussy was influenced by Bach, and this piece feels close to the music composed by Bach. Recently, it has been used in TV commercials for au and GU.
As you can see from the sheet music, it is characterized by its geometric score and flowing series of dispersed chords, just like an arabesque pattern. Also, the melody is completely different from Burgmuller's Arabesque.
This time, we will introduce the free piano sheet music for No. 1 of this song and an explanation video of the performance.
Although it is not classified as a very difficult song, it is a bit difficult for beginners to play (especially the triplet on the right hand and the eighth note on the left). It's perfect as an exercise piece, but try it after you're able to play the piano to some extent.

This is a video that explains in an easy-to-understand manner what to keep in mind when playing Arabesque No. 1 and how to move your fingers. I personally feel that how to use the fingers is especially important in arabesque, so be sure to watch the video to learn the finger numbers and movements.
