Chopin: Nocturne ショパン ノクターン

 No. 4


Digital Piano: KAWAI CA9500GP. 442hz, Loudness
Home Recording: ZOOM h1nvp 48k 16bit wav


I turned the pages of Chopin Nocturnes score and played pieces a little.  
I decided to play No.4.  I was drawn to the contrast of the major part and the minor part. 


light,  humming, skip, 
joy?
quit angry?

dirty, distorted (?) notes, chord, instance, 

vortex?

transmutation?

together for instance

(2026.01.28 Rec.)
No.10



I read that Chopin's Nocturne No.4 and No.10 are featured in "Les Sylphides".

I subded "agitato" written in the score, and forcused on changes in tone and gradation.

I felt that this piece was a kind of etude while practicing.  However, I liked it gradually.

No.18


I'm planning to play a nocturne in E Major of another composer.  
So I decided to play this Nocturne in E Major by Chopin.

This piece was composed 180 years ago.  I'm unfamiliar with astrology, but I've heard that planetary alignments of 1846 and 2026 are rare similarity, signaling a time of great change. 



practiced in various moods:
alone, despair, 
humming, spring wind,
water drops, surcase of water, deep in the sea
accompaniment of dance of nobility
in a night bar
in a brilliant hall
in a cathedral
in a forest

switched tones on digital piano: 
organ (continue tones), 
harpsichord (non-legato tones), 
Jazz piano (backbeat),  


not move fingers and hands as possible

Si-So, cross

physical than emotional

たまにショパンを弾いている。
たまにはちゃんと録音してみようと思い、ノクターンから選ぶことにした。
練習・弾いているうちに、今まではわかっていなかった手指体の動かし方を知ったと思う。

Cradle Song: Concert Piano 1 <- the usual sound

Dolly's Dream: Crystal Piano 1

Dolly Awakes: Pop Piano 1

260109 improvisation, just waves, 即興




Digital Piano: KAWAI CA9500GP. 442hz, Loudness

Home Recording: ZOOM h1nvp 48k 16bit wav



An idea of title "what is behind the brightness, just patterns" occurred to me while listening the improvisation.  

However, I changed the title.    


The original improvisation was over 10 minutes.  I have cut the first 21 seconds.  


Fa Mi Do

Flat keys, B♭ etc.
