Mei-Shun seems to have made it. When she sang on Ms. Piano “Clair de Lune” last night with no figure of it in the sky, success came to keep music flowing. Her favorite part was played without looking at the new score, while the page turned afterward. It was found that concentration is the most important: notes are not always connected to her memory of sound, even sometimes deter it.
Mei-Shun has been practicing to sing “Clair de Lune” with Ms. Piano on a new score. She manages to play it correctly, while still has to do twice at the top of next pages. Such an act breaks a flow of music, encourages her to memorize all masses of notes. Oh, a white figure in pink and blue sky, would you agree with her? It is great to get up with you for around a week after your perfect form.
Thanks a trillion, Shin. He kindly purchased a great score composed by Master Debussy for Mei-Shun. Since her older book accommodates it loosely, she chose new one among nearly 280 pieces. However, it is amazing to find it ranked C — ranging from easy A to difficult F. Why is Nocturne, Op. 9-2 composed by Master Chopin at E level? Or such an understanding symbolizes her poor technique??
It was a bit cloudy this morning. Mei-Shun therefore sang with Ms. Piano scores composed by Masters Debussy and Beethoven as usual. And yes, her forecast was correct: a rainfall followed from early afternoon. However, when she said thanks a lot for giving her a nice time, a page of the former suddenly fell on keys. Dear Sir, is it your message to mean something?
Yes, Ms. Piano is one of the best, “inanimate” friends of Mei-Shun. Why “”, do you kind followers wonder? Well, she often feels something opposite within them. Such impression might resemble 付喪神=tsukumo-kami, deity grown in ancient items. However, above musical instrument lives at her home for less than 2 decades, much shorter compared to kimonos beloved Master Mei-Shu gave her.
Ms. Piano, thanks a lot for your always joining Mei-Shun to sing rainy scores when it is clear, moonlight ones with rainfalls. However, which is better looking both the sun and black clouds in the sky, one after another like today? Or neither to feature love, children and cinema? All right, she would start by “Nausicaä of Windy Valley” composed by Master J. Hisaishi.
Mei-Shun, who lately resumed practice of “Life is Merry-go-round” on Ms. Piano, was not on that fun-fair equipment featuring horseies but on a train to Tokyo Station today. A bit cloudy sky still accommodates clear views of Ushiku Pond, a cup noodle maker’s chimney and Skytree as usual. After having a haircut, she enjoyed the first walk toward the end of Joban Line platform.
Here comes a nice Friday to Mei-Shun who vacuumed rooms before hanging a silk one with an obi sash from Master Mei-Shu and obi-shime, a decorative string to hold it from Shin. Weekly schedule of the wife of the latter decided to include kabuki dance practice at home. Ms. Piano has to be played with long sleeves put in 襷掛け=tasuki-kake, cross binding by a 腰紐=koshi-himo cord.
Ms. Piano, what new shall you and Mei-Shun do this year? Since it has been raining for recent several days, moonlight scores were picked up a lot. Rain and snow falls are featured by Masters Chopin and Debussy, chosen for fine weather. Her repertoire therefore covers 照る日も降る日も=both clear and wet days. How about adding windy one? Oh, she already learned “Nausicaä“.
Thanks a million, Shin, for looking for and purchasing CDs featuring Ms. Sarah Vaughan, one of the greatest jazz singers. Mei-Shun heard her glamorous husky voice for the first time on Mr. Diamond, a car in dark blue given by her beloved father. Tape collection of him including classical piano pieces also descended to his younger daughter, confirmed with stronger media.
