Debussy L'Isle joyeuse  ドビュッシー 喜びの島

 

The first time I played it (although it contained many mistakes maybe) is xx years ago when I entered university and joined one of piano clubs in the university.  

After yy years, I started to learn classic piano again and lessoned it with my piano teacher who I had learned many years.  The teacher was  different from my teacher in my childhood since she had gone, she was an elder lady in my childhood.  

I like playing it, though it is difficult.

楽譜立てには、どこかのお店で買った、オーケストラが描いてある五線譜ノートの表紙を置いておきました。 https://www.musenet.co.jp/365473 



出会いとその後

大学に入って、近所のピアノの先生レッスンはやめていて、ピアノの集まりに入って、この曲を弾いてみたかったので、楽譜を買って、CDをききながら、弾いてみた。(弾けていたかは置いておく。)
ドビュッシーが好きになった。

大学を出て、就職して。ドビュッシーの謎を知りたいので(和声だと遠そうだから)ジャズを習うことにした。
ジャズのことは何も知らなかった。
1人目の先生(ライターもしていた)、2人目の先生(平日は通訳をしていた)は、楽しく教えてくださった。
3人目の女性の先生が、色々教えてくださった。

ジャズはいいことにして、
クラシックピアノを再び習うことにした。なかなか先生と……。

ジャズの先生が同僚のピアノの先生を紹介してくださった。
その先生は、何を弾いてもいいとおっしゃった。
なので、この曲を、発表会で弾くことにした。
家では電子ピアノ、教室ではグランドピアノで練習した。
発表会のホールは、なんと、インペリアルだった。最後の音をちゃんと弾けた。

ピアノを習った後、和声・対位法を少しやってみた。
対位法で、ジャズのモードといっていた旋法が出て来た。

振り返って気付いたには、
ドビュッシーの中年頃の写真が、1人目のジャズの先生と似ていた。

都内の美術館のドビュッシーをテーマにした展示に行って、(これが金色の魚なのかぁ~)と、金粉で描かれた二匹の鯉(日本の絵、蒔絵? 本物ではなかったかも、拡大した画像だったかもしれない)を見たことも思い出しながら。

Debussy Voiles from 12 Preludes 1ere Livre ドビュッシー 帆

 It is too hot now in Tokyo, in particular my room since the air-conditioner is not in good condition.  I imagined winds ...

Something trembling happened in the last week in Japan.  I do not follow the news now.  

Sail, wave, wind, to where, how fast/slow,  how rough/calm ...  

Today is 0808.  




sail, sail canvas

veil, head covering

voila?



whole tone

five tone, pentatonic


bass Si♭


dotted note



This time I played it as fantasy, illusion, meditative  rather than clear.





バスはずーっと♭シが鳴っています。
舟なのか、波なのか、鼓動なのか。
今回は最後に向かって静か穏やかにになるようにしてみました。
なんとなーく聞き続けられるようにしてみました。


「帆」の方を採って、舟の画像を選んでみました。

Debussy Clair de lune ドビュッシー 月の光

 


I like this work.  I play it differently each time I play it.  



前回の録音は、始まりが、電子ピアノの録音‐変換機能がうまく動いていなかった ので。再録音。

Debussy Petite Suite ドビュッシー 小組曲

 

This was more difficult than Lullaby of Faure to play by myself.  In Lullaby of Faure, accompaniment parts and melody parts are divided.    


Many times I tried to record and play it.  Finally, I recorded the second part first and I played and recorded the first part while playing the second part. 



whole tone



フォーレの子守歌の方が録音が楽だった。なぜなら、伴奏とメロデイーに奏者が分けられているから。

こちらは、左方と右方で伴奏が流れて行ったりして、区切られていない。1台のピアノで2人同時に弾くと、ペダルできれいな音が聞こえると思う。
一方で、伴奏・合いの手の形が違う個所は、1台のピアノで2人同時に弾くと、埋もれてしまうかもしれない。
左方を録音して右方を乗せたり、右方を録音して左方を乗せたり、交互に何回かやりながら、最終的に、左方を録音して右方を乗せた。合ってないところがある。二人同時に弾く時は相手の息や体の動きで合うかもしれないが。片方を録って聴きながらだと、ずれるときもある。同じ人が弾いているのに。なかなか難しかった。












First I recorded the Seconda part and next played the Prima part while listening the Seconda part.  I repeated that to adjust the Seconda and Prima parts.

In this recording, I could play the last note of Prima part just at the timing of the last note of the Second part which I played .  


3 degree, 4 degree








At first I played and recorded Prima of the prelude part and then Seconda because the first beat lacks in Seconda of the prelude part.  Next I played Seconda of the prelude part ane then Prima while listening the first recording.  
In practice, I recrded Prima first and then played Seconda, and I recorded Secoanda first and the played Prima.  I tried a several times.


Dorian?,  Lydian?,  minor,  Major.








First, I played and recorded Seconda of the almost parts and Prima of the last part of B and the start of A' because Seconda lacks the first beats.  Then, I played Prima of the almost parts and Seconda of that parts while listening the First recording.

Debussy Hommage a Rameau from Image 1er ドビュッシー 映像1より ラモーを讃えて


I recorded it again.


At the first time of uploading, I thought 

I traveled to Paris only for a few days.  I went to museums and the new and old Opera concert hall (l'Opera).  In the old Opera hall, I saw a statue of Rameau.  The program was a ballet or opera of Rameau which ticket I bought at that day.  The stage was filled with vivid colors, bright and light.


I imaged portraits of Rameau and Debussy.  While I was playing it, I thought there might have been also another thing than Rameau, I don't know, in the mind of Debussy. 



However, at this time, I didn't thing anything.  I just played it.

Practicing Ravel  Pavane pour une infante défunte  helped me.

I should play harmonies more clearly if I play a better piano in a better environment.

Debussy 3. Movement from Image 1er ドビュッシー 映像1より動き



I recorded it again.

At first time, I thought lots of things. like that

I tried to play it as if I take a walk, and tried to play it as lightly as possible.  While taking a walk, a rainbow?, a new park?, a new cafe? etc. maybe found.  I felt that Debussy maybe felt some movement, something astonishment in the social situation. 


At this time, I focused on playing it.
I watched hands of pianists playing it without sounds on YouTube.  I understood feeling, mood, energy.
I tried to feel joy, beauty rather than difficulty.
Debussy wrote "legerete fantasque mais precise".
I used the pedal, however, I should not use a pedal too much if I play a good real piano.
In the beginning part I come my left hand under my right hand because my left hand is not large to play it while coming my left hand over my right hand.
Since I knew that this work is joy rather than difficulty, I will maybe play it more.

Debussy Rêverie ドビュッシー 夢

 I feel here and somewhere else than here.

I feel or image a spirit who tempts and controls us to dreams which we see in the night or we see or image in the day.

Debussy Reflets dans l'eau ドビュッシー 水の反映 映像Ⅰより


I didn't notice that the start portion of the recording is .......  
the recording-conversion system of my electric piano was broken.  
I'll record it again maybe.




Things on the surface of water are changing;

The surface of water are changing after a drop falls; or

Something on the bottom of water moves.


I felt whole tones are not clear but rather dim.
