First, I recorded the 2nd part in my electric piano. Next, I connected my recorder to my electric piano to replay the 2nd part and play the 1st part.
This was the first time that I played it. I practiced it and thought I learned something from Faure.
初めて弾いてみた。和声課題ではないけれども、この伴奏だと?、このメロディー だと?、このちょっと不思議な音は? そんな感じだった。伴奏パートは、少しだけかなしげだと思った。

No.2 Mi-a-ou
I recorded No.1 Berceuse. I didn't record the other pieces.
While listening to the Orchestral version arranged by Henri Rabaud, I felt relaxed. So I decided to record the remainings again.
I listened to performances long ago. But I didn't play myself.
I felt at ease while listening, however, when I looked at the sheet music, I felt something different, for example, lessons of harmony, counterpoint and so on.
However, I intended to play them in a light, imagineative way.
In practice, I recorded secondo part of each page or each part, then played primo part while listening to it. Also, I played left-hand part of secondo and right-hand part of primo, and so on.
During recording, I recorded the secondo part of the piece all the way through then played the primo while listening to it. After that, I re-recorded the secondo to slightly adjust the timing, and then played the primo while listening to it. ... .
No. 2
I recorded again after recording No. 4., more light, slightly faster.
Further, I recorded it again after recording Nos. 3-6.
When I played the Secondo part, I also played some sections of Primo to make it easier to adjust the timing.
This time, the recording time on my recorder was 2:22.
No. 4
After No.2, I recorded No.4. Both titles are related to a cat, they are waltzes, and there are pauses.
(The composer didn't intend to create pieces about a cat (according to wiki). )
In playing this piece, I tried to bring out the nuances of p as well as f.
No. 3
I played this piece while looking at the score, I found I liked it. I felt at ease playing only the Secondo part.
I listened to a recording on YouTube of Faure playing his Pavane.
I think that this piece slightly resembles his Pavane, for example, in its use of dotted rhythms and its melancholic mood.
No. 5
I found this piece too, that I liked it.
long bass
melody (right hand of Primo and right hand of Secondo) over rythm (left hand of Secondo)
tranquillo
warm, broad, light, a little melancholy,
No. 6
I slightly added notes on Primo.
airplane,
bright, joyful,
red, yellow, orange,
clapping, steps, drapes,
But I felt a different atmosphere and character when I listened to the Secondo part alone.
I played the Secondo part in horizontal groove rather than vertical.
1曲目だけ録音して、後は弾いていなかった。
管弦楽版をきいて、いいなぁ~と思った。なので、また弾いてみることにした。
どの曲も、二重録音する前に、練習で、左側と右側両者の分を両手で弾いたりした(弾けない所は羽音を省きつつ)ので、(実はソロで弾けるだろうな~)と考えながらも、敢えて二回に分けて録ろうと思った。
自分の方法だと(もっと現代的な機器を使えばもっと効率良くできるかもしれないが)、休符や伸ばしている音が多いとやりにくいので、2曲目と4曲目はちょっと……と思ったので、先に録音した。ただし、2曲目は、結局、最後に撮り直した。
練習のときは、スローテンポでメトロノームをしながら、1頁ずつ左側奏者分と右側奏者分を合わせたりした。
尚、楽譜は持っていなかったので、IMSLPから一番古そうな版をダウンロードした。そして、Secondoだけを貼り付け、Primoだけを貼り付けた。(通常の楽譜は、左がSecondo、右がPrimoになっている。)
録音のときは、Secondoを最初から最後まで弾いて電子ピアノに録音し、それを再生しながらPrimoを弾き、合わないところを調整しながら、再びSecondoを録音し、Primoをのせ、というのを繰り返した。
一人で弾くと気付いていなかったが、やはりSecondoは左の方に座って、Primoは右の方に座った方が弾き易い。真ん中だと力が入れにくいときもあった。
基本的には、最初に録音するときにはSecondoのみを弾いていた。ただ、2曲目がやはりタイミングが合わせ易いようにするにはと考えてPrimoも一部入れて弾くことにした。
