J.S. Bach: Italian Concerto, BWV 971 J.S.バッハ イタリア協奏曲, itsuka italia in F minor, 260423 arrangement

pulchraflow · J.S. Bach: Italian Concerto, BWV 971: III.Presto in in F major J.S.バッハ イタリア協奏曲 第３楽章 (h1n)

These days, I organized data, artworks, etc.

I remembered a piano teacher with whom I studied as an adult at Kawai Omotesandou.  She recommended this suite - perhaps she liked playing it.  It was at that time that I finally learned it.   

I recorded this suite in 2023.  I played the 1st and 3rd movements on digital harpsichord.

I've been thinking about how to enjoy playing them (the first and third movements).

(I like the 2nd movement.)

This time I played all the movements on digital piano.  

I think that it is difficult to play since I may feel that in some parts the first notes of the right and left hands are not so harmonized well.

I found that I felt the score, as a set of shapes, may be beautiful - scale (big flows) and tiny  flows, etc.  

The piano teacher I mentioned said that she felt good whenever she played it well.  

This time I realized that whether I can play it through to the end may depend on the atmosphere and spirituality at the moment, as well as my physical condition and finger technique.

The above three tracks are the earliest recordings using ZOOM h1n.  

 ******

The first movement (recording track using ZOOM h1n) received a copy right claim for using an audio of a CD.  I submitted a dispute.

pulchraflow · J.S. Bach: Italian Concerto, BWV 971: III.Presto in in F major J.S.バッハ イタリア協奏曲 第３楽章 (H1essential)

I bought a new recorder ZOOM H1essential, 32bit floating.

This recorder is different from h1n, I felt the sounds were different. 

I tried recording several times.

For ZOOM h1n, I used to record on the digital piano first, then played it back to capture the audio on the recorder.

I had to adjust to the input volume on ZOOM h1n to avoid clipping, sometimes capture the same piece for several times while changing the input volume.

With ZOOM H1essential, there is no input level knob, it is 32bit floating, no need to worrie about clipping.

I found that direct recording to ZOOM H1essential may be better.  I connected a phone output to my headphones to play the digital piano and connected another phone output to ZOOM H1essential to capture it.   

In Audacity, I found that less processing may be better.   If peaks are too high, I simply apply Normalize.  Then, I export it as 48k 24bit wav. 

I made the track private because the sound (recorded with my digital piano and ZOOM H1essential) sounded a bit harsh.

I found that I felt easy to play J. S. Bach Italian Concerto BWV 971 the first and third movements if the key is in minor.

I played the third movement starting in F minor, adding lights (Major keys), and ending in F minor.  

F minor

F Major (original)

C minor

D minor (original)

C minor, A♭Major, D♭ Major, ??  - black flat keys, opt leading tones, 

A♭Major

F minor

itsuka italia

The title doesn't have a specific meaning.  

I think it may be a rhythmical phrase.

itsuka ikitai.  

I've never been to Italy.  I want to visit someday. 

ituka no italia.  

Sometimein Italy - ancient, or a past for someone, etc..

This track was recorded on ZOOM H1essential and the sound may be a bit harsh.

Near spring.  In spring?

The wind was still cold.

I saw sakura.

Recently, I organized the data of tracks.  I created original artworks.  I refined titles of classical music track and tags of tracks.  and so on...

 Three years have passed since I began uploading a recording on soundcloud.

Today I found an game app of polyrythm.  I watched it without playing or  listening to pulses.   ......  it gave me  a stomachache...  

I decided to practice 3:5......., but ......  

I imagined flower petals fluttering dancing and shades while playing it. 

After playing it, I learned that 3 and 5 are the numbers of petals on many flowers.

I had been thinking about Satie's Gymnopedies ...  

Today I talked with AI, 

When I asked how to change the colors of an image, it generated an image of a imaginary paint tool with a non-existent title "３Ｄイカペイント".  The actual title of the 3D paint is "３Ｄペイント".  "イカ" was added which means a squid.  3D Squid Paint....?

While talking about characters, it said that "ピアノ" was five characters.  "ピアノ" is three characters.  "piano" is five characters.  It said that it prioritized "piano" in English language than "ピアノ" in Japanese.

It said that these are hallucination.

(It said that it was not so very good at drawing an image of a character yet, despite having a vast vast knowledge of text.)

Then, I began playing an improvisation using the rhythm of Satie's Gymnopedies. 

この曲をsoundcloudにuploadするとき、なかなか出来なかった。

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.

Flat keys, B♭ etc.

pulchraflow · Toward, 251206 improvisation (single and double-tracking) 即興 どこかへ 二重録音を途中から使って

Recently I recorded Faure's Dolly suite for four-hands by double-recording.  

I improvised using the same method.  

First, I played and recorded on my electric piano.  

Cm and so on.

Then, I played the recording once, and after that I played improvisation while listening to the recording, and continued playing after the recording.

Black flat keys, clusters, Ｄ♭　and so on.

It brought back memories of when I had played in a small free jazz band on weekends in a tiny live house.  

These past few days I slightly practiced Vierne Nocturne, Ravel Ma mère l’Oye and so on.

The title is Beyond, Dokoka-he, but it doesn't carry much meaning...  

最近、連弾曲を、自分の録音（左側奏者）を聴きながら、弾く（右側奏者）ということをしていた。ちょっと神経を使う。

なので、てきとーに弾いてみる時にも、二重録音してみようかと思った。

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 improvisation, however, I used only white keys. 

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

After I played this improvisation, "ambivalent" came up to me.  What is ambivalent?  My right hand played and my left hand played, but my both hands did not play differently I think.

Today is Hina-matsuri.

ひな祭りの歌をてきとうに弾いてから、即興しました。アンビバレントという言葉が思いつきましたが、何の意味だったか忘れていました。検索して、そんなにアンビバレントでもないけどと思いましたが。
