Pachelbel Chaconne パッヘルベル シャコンヌ

 Pachelbel Chaconne in F Major, P.42  パッヘルベル シャコンヌ ヘ長調



Pachelbel's Canon is well-known.  I played it in the recorder club in elementary school.  

I browsed IMSLP to find a piece that can be played as a piano solo.  I'm practicing a piece by another composer in F now, so I chose the Chaconne in F major.

This piece was originally written for organ.

Four bars are repeated with variations. 

p, f, etc. are not written in the sheet music downloaded from IMSLP.
But I played this piece adding p, f, ff, <, >, etc. myself.

improvisation white keys 250628 即興 白鍵

 


I've been playing some well-known pieces in C Major, though I didn't record them. 


I was thinking about C major, pure?, clear?, justice?, etc. 


As you may know, even pieces in C major often includes some black keys.  

In this provisation, however, I used only white keys. 

Also I wasn't aiming for "C major".   I just moved my hands.

Saint-Saëns, Camille: étude  サン=サーンス エチュード

 Saint-Saëns, Camille: étude  "Tierces majeures et mineures" Op.111-1 サン=サーンス エチュード






Recently, I browsed IMSLP for pieces of piano by Saint-Saëns. 
When I looked at the music sheet of thiw work, I felt like it could be a background music of a movie.
 
I practiced this piece once or twice, sometimes three times a day.  I think too much practice of this one can be unnecessary strain on the hands and fingers.

I practice one of variations only one time every day (ignore miss or etc).  I finish all of the variations for about one month, and then I play them again from the start or the last one, I repeat that.  I think I will be able to play them well sometime.

Today I wanted to play this variation 7.



なんとなく。そのうち、ちゃんと。


Czerny, Carl :Nocturne Es-Dur Op.647 ツェルニー :ノクターン 変ホ長調 Op.647

 



I practiced etudes of Czerny in my childhood (to high school student).  After that I have not played works of Czerny.


Recently I searched a work which is not an etude.  I found this work and practiced though I didn't know this music.

sentimentoと書いてあります。

それに、オクターブでうたったり、内声をうたったり、内声同士ではもったりします。

必ずしも指が行きやすい方向に進むわけではなく。

ということで、子ども用ではなくて、ある程度大きくなったらの曲だろうなと思います。


和音や細かい音を弾きながら、

ツェルニーは、まじめで、やさしい人だったのかもなと思いました。

Liszt Hungarian Rhapsody No.2  リスト ハンガリー狂詩曲 第2番 



This is the last music which I learned by my piano teacher in my childhood from 5 years old to the 3rd grade of high school.  I didn't go to the piano lessons from the summer of the 3rd grade of high school to study for entrance examinations of universities.  

After I graduated from the high school, I did not play this music.

After I entered university, I joined one of piano clubs in the university, but I didn't play it.



Recently I opened the music sheet.  

I practiced this music again while practicing Brahms.



I created the cadenza(?) 



Once I recorded it several times, but I practiced La Campanella.

After recording La Campanella, I played this music again.


I set 444hz.


I played it in a calm way and as if it were in a narrative.

子どもの頃の先生に習った最後の曲。高3の始めくらい(高3の途中で大学受験勉強のためレッスンをやめたので)。先生からピアノピースを頂いたので、図書館でCDを借りながら。

それ以降は弾きませんでした。何となく。


今回、久しぶりに楽譜を開いてみて、練習しました。

色々音色とか裏拍とかやっていました。

ハンガリー舞踊をYouTubeでみて、想像したりしました。


適当にカデンツァを弾くべしと書いてあるとわかったので、何か弾くことにしました。

(高校生のときも、先生に聞いたかもしれないけど、弾かなかった。)


電子ピアノだと音が薄くなりやすいので力を込めていましたが、録音を聴くと不自然でした。

なので、ゆるめに、物語の途中みたいな感じで弾くことにしました。
