career

I might need my own mentor, really.

one stream

I have to confess that I honestly hopelessly have been out of shape...
However, this performance has been making me really encourage.

It sounds like that the meaning of " 一流" is one stream rather than
high level as the characters are really saying.

私の音楽観

音楽は、文学的、美術的要素が強調されるが、
むしろ数学的で物理的である。
自然界にある、真理の運動と律動の基に、
主観と客観の境界について無我になった瞬間に
芸術だと感じる。
それが達成されない場合は、時間と共に違和感が
拡がるのみである。

Franz Schubert

It is so hard for me to determine which is the best piano work, because it just feels to me good music is good. I especially love Haydn, Schubert and Ravel.

Again, choosing one piece is extremely difficult, but for example, how about listening to the followings. I would really like you to listen to them from the 1st mov. to the end. To see the whole work is significant, not just extracts, you see.
