2 Pieces pour le main gauche No.1 Prelude No.2 Nocturne スクリャービン 左手のための プレリュード ノクターン Op. 9-1, Op. 9-2


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.



 When I cut the tip of my fifth finger of my right hand, I practiced the pieces.  I touched and gripped something, which was unable to be seen and not good, and I did not washed my hands, and I unintentionally cut the finger and blood dropped, it took about two months to use my right hand.  After that I wash my hands with water and salt whenever I touch something not good.


You might think that it is difficult to play a piece only by one's left hand without one's right hand.  But I think it is easier because it is not necessary to adjust timings of my left and right hands.  

I played the pieces by my both hands but I like playing them only by my left hand because it sounds stronger and more tasty.  


Prelude

The piece starts with A major but soon after G# rings.  The piece is C# minor, however C# minor doesn't come a lot.  Pedal point of G# sounds.  The piece ends with C# major = D♭.  The next piece, Nocturne is D♭.


I think that the piece is not dark, tragic but also not bright.    



Nocturne

The melody starts with La♭ which is half tone below of La of the melody of Prelude.

The range of this piece is wider than Prelude.

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.

about time, adlib 230423

 adlib starting from So-Mi♭-Si♭


Today although I was practicing favorite pieces of great composers, I could not play them well.  I recorded them but they are something different from the intention that I want to play and also from the feeling that "I" play.  My fingers and hands are mine or not mine.


So I played my electrical piano as "I".


I thought about time, time if I would return, time which I will go to, and so on.

J.S.Bach the Well-Tempered Clavier Book 1 No. 2 バッハ 平均律クラヴィ―ア 第1巻 第2番 ハ短調



 I had impression of something severe and tensed before. After I played Chopin Op. 25-12, I felt waves of the ocean. Waves spread in a body, the ground on which the body is, and the ocean. At this time, I have impression of something soft and rippling, too.

I used harpsichord2 in my electrical piano and set 432 Hz, although I read that a harpsichord is set to lower pitch.

Chopin Op. 25-12 Etude ショパン エチュード 大洋





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.




(2026.01)
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


 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.
