in the head of Claude Debussy

I would have liked to be in the head of Claude Debussy, write the “afternoon prelude of a faunal”, Or "the toy box", or "Bergamasque suite", "La mer", be a musician, a seer, and invent new music, I would have liked to know all the images of the gardens, I would have liked to write for clarinet, triangle Or the piano in its case, I would have liked to be in the head of Claude Debussy, write a “Scottish walk”, a “moonlight”, Playing the piano, in a garden filled with purple lilacs, No doubt that leaving a footprint is giving the best in the world I would have left for my daughter a «tribute to Haydn» And the «children’s corner», something to dream about at night, I would have liked to be in the head of Claude Debussy. (Two ducks on the sea, bring me back to reality, They don’t need me, or Claude Debussy. I would never be in the head of genius. ) J’aurais aimé être dans la tête de Claude Debussy, écrire le « prélude à l’après midi d’un faune », Ou « la boite à joujoux », ou « suite bergamasque », « La mer », être musicien, voyant, et inventer une musique nouvelle, J’aurais aimé connaître toutes les images des jardins, J’aurais aimé écrire pour la clarinette, le triangle Ou le piano dans son écrin, J’aurais aimé être dans la tête de Claude Debussy, écrire une « marche écossaise », un « clair de lune », Jouer du piano, dans un jardin rempli de lilas mauves, Sans doute que laisser une empreinte, c’est donner le meilleur au monde, J’aurais laissé pour ma fille un « hommage à Haydn » Et le « children’s corner », de quoi rêver la nuit, J’aurais aimé être dans la tête de Claude Debussy (Deux canards sur la mer, me ramènent à la réalité, Ils n’ont pas besoin de moi, ni de Claude Debussy. Jamais je ne serais dans la tête du génie.)

Two ducks on the sea, bring me back to reality…a poetic way to drift from a dreamy state back to an un-mused consciousness ;)

Oh but you write quite beautifully! It is like seeing a beautiful painting or hearing a talented symphony! I loved: I would have liked to write for clarinet (my dad played the clarinet in high school, in the U.S. Navy band, and until his triple bypass) so that touches my heart. His fingers didn’t work as well, then his heart (my mom) passed away. He serenaded me. Ahh…so sweet

dear' Zyrool, thanks for stopping by, disconering Debussu is a necessity, before going to heavens, i think, have a nice day

I assume that you are so full of admiration for the French composer- Claude Debussy. His compositions seem to have influenced you as no others. We can never aspire to become such geniuses. But take pride that you are a poet, though not a composer.
