I asked an AI web servece for piano pieces from the time Debussy was living that I didn't know. Based on the results, I read music sheets on IMSLP. I thought I might like pieces by Vierne, downloaded his music books, and played them.
I decided to perform the work "Suite bourguignonne". I think the work is brighter than other works of him.
Also, I decided to perform the work "Silhouettes d'enfants, Op.43". I recorded it first.
I thought that I heard this music "Suite bourguignonne" before, but I realize I hadn't truly listened to it.
I found that some notes and sounds were unfamiliar to me.
I've not been to Bourguignonne.

7th
the last, E
bright, clear, joy,
calm
practice: played each tone of double-note accompaniment with both hands, played the double-note accompaniment with non-legato with the hand, played left-hand octave part first and played right-hand part over it, etc.
Since I think that loud dynamics like ff, fff cannot be achieved on my electric piano, so I considered how to play the parts to sound as if they were ff, fff.
I think that the una corda pedal doesn't produce good sound and it sounds rather blurry on my electric piano. I refrained from using it for this piece.
2.Idylle
Fa
practice: played the left-hand part with both hands, etc.
No.3 Divertissement
Once I stopped practicing this piece. But I found I still remembered it. So I decided to record it.
Note patterns and sounds of this piece were unfamiliar to me. I practiced it in various ways.
I had been playing a left-hand triplet and 8th note, arpeggio as a single chord, trying to grasp it all at once. However, that put a strain on my left hand, especially beyond an octave. So I played arpeggios as arpeggios.
I used una corda as indicated, though I feel that it doesn't produce good sound on my electric piano.
diminished unison, third, etc.

I imagined something more general - legend, time, space, long ago and so on.
I used una corda as designated, though I feel it doesn't produce good sound on my electric piano.
No.5 A l'Angelus du Soir
#Do
I've never heard the Angelus.
But I've heard temple bells, or ringings before prayers at shrines.
I used cathedral reverb on my electric piano.
6.Danse rustique
+5, whole tones
practice: played the left-hand part with both hands, recorded the left-hand part and played the right-hand while listening to the recording, used various sounds to create images, etc.
I think that the una corda pedal doesn't produce good sound and it sounds rather blurry on my electric piano. I refrained from using it for this piece.
7.Clair de Lune
piano and vocal? violin?
"The moon is beautiful" ??
generally, night sky and the moon?
"Kaguya-hime"?
practice: played the tones other than the melody with both hands, etc.
continued the melody with fingers as much as possible
played the arpeggio with non-legato touch even under slurs,due to electric piano's sounds
初めに、全曲弾いてみた。
次に、始めの４曲を主に練習した。
それから、後半の３曲を主に練習した。
特に速い曲は、３曲目は出だしから馴染みのない感じだったので、譜面をみながら弾けるようにして、それから、譜面を見ていると遅いので、覚えるようにした。６曲目は意外と覚えやすかった。
練習してある程度弾けるようになったが、真ん中の３曲は録音しないことにした。
最初の２曲と最後の２曲を録音してアップロードした。
そのあと、何気なく３曲目を弾いてみたら覚えていた。そこで、真ん中の３曲も録音することにした。
それぞれ、メトロノームや、ノン・レガートで音を確認して整理しながら弾きなおした。
それから、録音した。自由に弾くことにした。
そのあとで、最初の２曲を弾いてみたら、前よりも滑らかに弾けるような気がした。
なので、録音しなおした。また、artworkも選びなおした。
