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

No.10

pulchraflow · Chopin: Nocturne No.10, Op.32-2 ショパン ノクターン第１０番

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

pulchraflow · Chopin: Nocturne No.18, Op.62-2 ショパン ノクターン第１８番

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。

Chopin Waltz Op. 34-2 ショパン ワルツ

pulchraflow · Chopin Waltz Op. 34-2 ショパン ワルツ Op. 34-2

I liked this piece in my childhood.

Now I played it more freely than that time.

I played #do in one of parts of minor la.do.mi.  Further, I missed tones.  

However, I played it.  

I will play it again later someday.

Digital Piano: KAWAI CA9500GP

    Some keys were unresponsive.

Home Recording: Recorded directly to USB as WAV on digital piano.

    The first few notes sounded clustered.

 I played it slowly. I feel changing of degrees of notes played by right hand and by left hand is interferences of waves. 

 When I play it more rapidly, I think about how to use my fingers, hands, arms, Tanden and my sacrum, shifting my weight from/to left, center and right, and so on. 

 I feel that I make waves from below the keyboard, waves move forward, and waves come back to my back since the ocean is one and the earth is circle and go forward.

ゆっくりバージョンは、録音当時にUPしていた（2023.04）けれども、その後、取り下げた。しかし、今までの録音を見直していて、載せることにした。

Chopin Op. 10-1 Etude ショパン エチュード

pulchraflow · Chopin Op. 10-1 Etude

 In the middle part, I feel a dark sea, grieving, a dark sky, etc. 

  This piece is based on C major, but I feel strong adoration of E major. 

 I feel the notes played by a right hand are something like the light.
