Archil-claude de puxy (22 august 1862-25 march 1918), french, influential composer, innovator of european music at the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century, as well as the father of recent “impressive” music, had a profound impact on music in europe and the united states。
This improvisation is really interesting. Audiences don't know what they're going to hear, and musicians don't know what they're going to hear
In improvisation, we are like a double, divided into two individuals, with one focus on playing and the other. While guiding and managing music, we must be free to show ourselves between me on the surface and the deeper one。
I feel like i've been playing improv. At the age of 89, when my father came to see if i was practicing well, i was actually playing the piano mostly improvisingly, and my father did think i was practicing seriously. I practiced my own imagination
Later, this kung fu became my profession. That is how i travel between cities, concert halls, countries, without music, without programmes, only my feelings and my feelings for the moment. And then i realized that what happened before the music was very important for the show, like what i had just eaten, what i had encountered, whether i was sad or full of spirits, what i had just listened to, who i had met, what friends i had thought of。
An advantage is that you can improvise with anyone who plays jazz, armenian almond clarinet, mouth-sharp or chinese. You can be with dancers, dramatists or jugglers。
In improvisation, i have a story in front of me, and i'll watch the melody interwoven (but not too far away), the sound rises in front of me, the rhythm changes and the music changes and even changes. And i was there, my fingers, my ears and all my thoughts, no music, no fear of sudden memory loss, and, of course, no false sound。
Debussy used to play improvisation. And if i had stolen from him which rhythm, which melody, or some chord, that he might have understood me. Of course, if he had no idea, it would have been better. Keep it a secret for me, okay
— jean-françois ziegler, pianist
When i was five years old, i had a piano at home, and i used to sneak up and play like my brothers and sisters. They'd all been learning music at the music school. One day, my sister happened to see me trying to play debussy's first arabic-style song, and the score came from her, and i didn't know how to read it, but i was able to find magic melody by hearing. Two years before i got to the music school, because i couldn't read it completely, i was almost improvising, playing all the subjects that i liked, and i was so excited that i was playing with a lot of tricks. I thank my parents indefinitely. They let me run around in the music, play whatever i want, and make me believe that no one is listening to me。
I still remember very clearly what happened to me when i finished my final exam at the national institute of music in paris. I was playing debussy's prelude to the second volume of "o'sshinan." i played it like i was improvising. It's like it's the first time i've been in touch with this work. Later, when i was able to find that wonderful feeling again on stage, it was after a number of hard exercises。
Debussy succeeded in creating a unique world of music with the wisdom of his heart, and those like him, despite their great talent, were always so humble. His love and his voice are like water, and the melody twirling, and he is invisible, like a blue bird. It's a great honour to play his work and to be able to improvise with his music. I would like to pay tribute to the memory of this talented musician, whose thousands of lives and emotions have come together. We are grateful to you, mr. Debussy, and salute you

In 2013, three original dramas planned by him became part of an official programme entitled “the centennial of a great war”, including a series entitled “l'engrenage 1913-14”, which he performed in partnership with the french journalist patrick bover dalford, in which he performed over 40 plays。
As a member of the association of french drama writers, leclerc produced in 2016 a play depicting napoleon's exile in st. Helena, la mort de l'aigle, with the french dramatist francis huster。
In 2017, together with the piano improvist jean-françois ziegler, he created two original concerts — " love bach " and " love buxy " , which brought together the work of the two composers with the improvisation of the piano。
In 2018, on the centennial of debussy's death, leclercure will also complete his project, the twelve of debussy modern practice. He has invited ten composers, hugo dufourt, stephen hough, frank bedrossian and philip leroux, to create ten exercises that look forward to interwoven and conjoining the 12 original piano exercises in debusi。
