¡Edo no Oto Fukei - Chopin to Sono Toki no Nihon -
¡Traditional Japanese Music
Description
[Machine Translation] 200th anniversary of Chopin's birth! What about Japan? What about music in Edo? Two hundred years ago, for example, "Echigo Shishi" was used in Puccini's opera "Madame Butterfly". 200 years ago was the Edo period in Japan. Two hundred years ago, Japan was in the Edo period (1603-1868), and it was during this period that the founder of the shakuhachi, which had been passed down from the konmuso shakuhachi to the common people, died. As soon as "Kiyomoto-bushi" was popularized, it became all the rage, and even a murder case broke out over its succession. Kabuki theater, a pastime enjoyed by the common people, produced famous actors and actresses, and "Koshincho" (The Book of Encouragement) and "Nigai-bune" (The Boat Rides), still famous today, were created as theatrical dance pieces. In Japan, too, there are many works that are as good as Chopin's. Chopin's works include puppies and raindrops. Chopin used the piano to express puppies and raindrops, and one wonders what kind of sense of rain the people of Edo had. The word "rain" alone has five different sounds, showing the keenness of the Japanese people's senses. The sound sense of the Edo Japanese, which cannot be found in foreign countries, will be expressed with musical instruments. Including this, Chopin's period is summed up with the essence of Edo music. A must-listen.
