With the music on this CD from the renaissance (1400-1600) it worked out to find classical music that sounds beautiful and also can be played by beginners. The music, originally written for harpsichord, virginal or renaissance harp, appears to sound beautiful on the piano as well.
I have my eyes closed to be able to be engaged with feeling, listening, rest and concentration. I try to 'sing' on the piano.
I play in lotus position, soft and meditative. My fingers feel as 10 legs, which move smoothly over the piano. When I suddenly remember that by doing steps backwards as a child of 4/5 years old during ballet class I become aware of the space behind me, I get two inspirations:
- When the same note gets played twice,
I play the second note with another finger.
- Every heavy accent of a measure, the 1st (and 3rd) beat, I play with
odd fingers, the thumb (1), middle finger (3) and little finger (5).
A new world opens up (again). I see parallels with the
down-bow (heavy accent of a measure) on the violin and the thumb (heavy accent of a measure) on the lute. Like this you make the accent, articulation and sentence structure in music.
We met the robin after a walk
with our neighbour across the way (her deceased husband?).
I made the photo myself and enlarged it.
When listening I wish you rest, silence and
beautiful inspirations, with love Leonoor |
