Debussy’s first Arabesque with MAM-inspired piano score

To add another dimension to the MAM-system in order to make it even more useful as a pedagogical tool for piano students, we have created a special MAM-inspired version of the first Arabesque by Debussy. The note heads of the score are colored according to the MAM-video (version 3) which could help improving awarenes of textural stuctures, voice leading and long melody lines.

Suggested method:
Watch the video a few times. Then print out the colored score below and play from it at the piano. Try to differentiate tonal “colors” and to bring out certain voices such as the bass (purple), melody (blue) or some of the middle voices (green) in the middle section.
