９月14日（土）グリーグ「抒情小品集８・９集」レクチャーコンサートご案内

9月14日（土）14時から、東邦音楽大学学園創立50周年記念館ホールにて、グリーグの「抒情小品集」講座第8集及び第9集のレクチャーコンサートを開催致します。この講座はグリーグの作品の中でも傑作中の傑作「抒情小品集」に焦点をあて、第1集から辿ることでグリーグの音楽様式の変遷及び人間としての成長過程を学ぶことができます。またグリーグの抒情小品集は、彼曰く、小さな宝石箱、と自評されるように、豊かな音色と詩的感性、彼の日々の喜怒哀楽等、叙情豊かに表現されていてとてもロマン的な曲調が魅力的です。多くのピアノファンに愛好されています。
第8集・9集は、グリーグが50代半ばの頃に作曲されこの頃はグリーグは持病に悩んでいました。神経衰弱・貧血・呼吸困難を伴い、彼は時独デンマークやノルウェーの療養所に滞在し、人生の最後の時間を悟っていました。この作品集は、穏やかで静かなな曲調が漂っています。

ピアノ演奏マイ祭②Piano Performance Mai-Sai②

When I lived in Oslo,I attended Norway Foundation Day on17th.May. It was a first time for me to see the national festival.It was unforgotten memory for me.

Grieg was earnest composer who strongly tended to be Norway nationalism. He expressed Norwegian traits into his music.he devoted this works in hif life.
He wished that Norway gained independence,so I think how long did Grieg look forward to this independence.
Norway was ruled by Danmark and Sweden for over 400hundred years. Norwegian citizen obliged to live under strong policy of Danmark and Sweden.They must have endured such as lack of self-direction life.

when Grieg was born, Norwegian nationalism has occured and showed an increase.
Fortunately,Grieg could celebrate on Norwegian Independence in his life. He was extremely excited to see this independence, and must have glad to see it more than eveyone.

Gratulerer til Norge!

ピアノ演奏マイ祭①Piano Performance Mai-Sai①

Mai-Sai of which celebrated on Norway's Foundation Day on17th.May.
I attended the festival as pianist who belonged to The Grieg Society of Japan on11th.May at Jiyuugakuen Myonichikan in Ikebukuro.
After I greeted in Japanese and English both as a chairman of the society to audience,I played some pieces from Grieg.

The concert was titled Morning Mood, that is why, because of Morning Mood from Peer Gynt by Grieg.
