Schumann Arabesque Op. 18

A performance by Kaoru Jitsukawa on the Bösendorfer once used by Backhaus (it is said that the ownership period for this Bösendorfer has ended and it has been returned). It is not his performance, but I have heard the sound of this piano in this hall. It was a wonderful sound in a very lovely space (*´ω｀*)

Lavignac Galop-Marche

To have four young pianists—Koki Kuroiwa, Kaito Kobayashi, Kaoru Jitsukawa, and Keigo Mukawa—play a piece that can be called a staple of 8-hand piano ensemble is just so much fun ٩(♡ε♡ )۶
Preparing the sheet music, deciding in advance where to fold it and who will turn the pages, moving your whole body to make space, getting lost because the seating positions are different and wondering 'where was I again...', and grinning when the unisons align perfectly... it makes me miss ensemble playing even more. It is fun for both the listener and the performer♪
It is so wonderful that I watch it over and over (>ω<)!

Keith Jarrett Shenandoah

Oh no, oh no...
Let me calm down with Keith Jarrett...

May today be a good day as well (^^)
