I have added some photos of the piano to Camera Obsession, my photo gallery. I have played various music which I believed sounds well on the instrument. Chopin sounds well, so are Mozart, Schubert, Schumann, Beethoven, Bach, Ravel, and Faure. I started working on Brahms, whose music also sounds beautiful on it.

Every note just sounds clean, and you can hear the harmonic structure crystal clear. I have got some insights into the music by Ravel, whose music may be obscured when played on contemporary pianos with full, rich tone. He is in a sense classic. So is Chopin as he claimed for himself. It can be heard by the tone with lesser use of the sustain pedal.

Schumann rather sounds creasy, but I love his music as well. He must have excited his contemporary audience with its rich harmonics produced by a frequent use of the sustain pedal. He is really different from any other composers preceding him. Some write that Chopin was sarcastic on his music, but he might have been jealous to the innovative tonality heard in Schumann’s excessive compositions.

yeah, the instrument teaches me a lot and I am never bored on it.

my piano, now feels at home

表題のようなことを目的とした委員会に参加した。事前に新聞社が入って写真を撮りますよ、と教えてもらえたのでタンクトップ・半パンで自転車にて登場という暴挙を避けられた。前日には理髪店に行って短く髪を切りそろえ、家人に相談して紺ブレザーを用意してもらった。会議は順調であった。「ズボンも紺にした方がよかったかしら」とは家人の反応であった。記事を書いてくれた北陸中日新聞の人は、同じ会社に勤めている高校時代の同級生（大鹿君）に鍛えられたとのことであった。よい記事を書いてくれた。
