Reflections on the directions of contemporary art pedagogy in the context of Claude Debussy's music
The article raises the issue of spirituality in the education of professional instrumental musicians. The life and creative path of the composer Claude Debussy is characterized. It is noted that the composer's piano works are an innovative source of performance repertoire with unique harmony and original poetry. The capacity of the first volume of Preludes, created in 1910, is described.
The wide range of artistic tasks set by Debussy for the performer fosters exploration of personal experiences, leading his audiences into the world of an extraordinary association game. This text is a presentation of subjective reflection on the subject of contact with art, understood as a spiritual practice, detached from religion, based on direct contact with sound matter. It also emphasises the need to include these aspects in mainstream education of young pianists in the 21st century.
Attention is paid to the deep understanding and detailed analysis of the prelude "The Sunken Cathedral" ("La cathédrale engloutie") by Claude Debussy. It is noteworthy that the work by Claude Debussy belongs to the classics of the piano repertoire and involves the unleashing of the imagination in an individual interpretation.
Keywords: spirituality, Claude Debussy, musician, analysis of the work, piano music, synaesthesia, imagination, pedagogy, performance.
