or at Amazon:

Q: I wish I could play this piece.
A: You can! If you have a MIDI setup (MIDI keyboard with damper pedal, MIDI piano, and a computer running Windows or Mac OS X), you can play this piece using the conductor program. You need to learn the piece really well, but you don’t need to learn to play the piano. The article describing how this works is here

http://www.musanim.com/tapper/

and the software is available here (free)

The performance used in this video was done using this software!

A: Maybe not everyone, but lots of people …

Q: What happened to my comment?
A: Questions answered in the FAQ and comments with nothing to do with the video (“spam”) are removed, as are comments containing hate speech. If you posted a comment and don’t know why it’s gone, email me (stephen at musanim dot com) with “YouTube comment” in the subject line.

Q: Is this the same recording as on the soundtrack?
A: No; Stephen Malinowski made this one. Compare the two and let me know what you think.

Q: How did you make this video?
A: You can read about it here:

http://www.musanim.com/ProductionNotes/ClairDeLune.html

Q: What do the colors mean?
A: Each pitch class (C, C-sharp, D, D-sharp, etc.) has it’s own color, and the colors are chosen by mapping the musician’s “circle of fifths” to the artist’s “color wheel.” You can read more about this here:

http://www.musanim.com/mam/pfifth.htm

Q: Who is Debussy?
A: A French composer; you can read about him here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debussy

Q: Where can I learn more about this piece?
A: This Wikipedia article is a good place to start:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suite_bergamasque

Q: Wasn’t this in Fantasia?
A: Almost. There originally was a Clair de lune segment in the film, but it was cut from the final release. It’s on the Fantasia Legacy Supplemental Features DVD.

Q: Is there a way I could make the bar-graph scores myself?
A: The Music Animation Machine MIDI file player will generate this display; you can get the (Windows) software here:

http://www.musanim.com/player/

There are lots of places on the web where you can get MIDI files; I usually go to the Classical Archives site first:

Q: Can I use this audio/video in my project?
A: Please send me an email (stephen at musanim dot com) describing your project and I’ll let you know whether it’s okay.

Q: Why does the title include the word “Twilight”?
A: Recently, many people have been exposed to this piece through the movie Twilight. If they are looking for this piece on YouTube, they might not be sure of the name of the piece, so I’ve put the word Twilight in the title to help them find it. I think it’s better for them to find the piece and listen to it than to not find it. Some people think that the piece “deserves better than to be associated with Twilight.” I can understand that point of view, but I don’t see that way; the piece deserves all the attention it can get, and anything that results in more people being able to appreciate it is a good thing. No one is going to lose any respect for this piece or for Debussy from the word “Twilight” appearing in the title of a YouTube video.

Due to numerous requests and insistent public demands, I’ve decided to post here the links where I uploaded the piano piece, the sheet music, and the lyrics of “Musician” by Yumi Mitora Kusakurin. You may now listen to it and/or play it to your heart’s content! ^_^

This is a clip from the subbed D.Gray-Man Episode 93 (Melody) where Allen sang part of the song himself…which made me teary-eyed. T_T
