Hello! I'm Koshi Mochizuki.
Let me write about the day I went a concert.
May. 12. 2012., I went the violin recital held at Suntory Hall (Akasaka, Minato-Ku, Tokyo).Our viola teacher gave us tickets for free!
Most favorite music in the concert program was Chaconne from Partita No.2 in D minor for solo violin (BWV 1004) composed by J.S.Bach (1685-1750).
It's my most favorite violin music.Yasuko Ohtani, the violinist, is the truly excellent player.We were extremely impressed by her technique.It was so fabulous and beyond description.
It was so good day.I'd like to visit Suntory Hall again.
See you again!


I don't think you have any spelling errors, but you should check out your grammar: especially your prepositions.
ReplyDeleteChaconne is extremely difficult. I know, I spent several years playing that. It's a no-no for a mediocre novice like me, but it's probably also one of my most favorite Baroque pieces from Bach's repertoire.
It's interesting how difficult it is to play the violin in Japan, whereas it is so easy to get started in the US. Some form of music is compulsory, and most schools offer the leisure of choosing an instrument. Middle school students and up readily get opportunities to play in concert halls like Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall etc. (with a substantial amount of talent and effort of course). I brought my violin here with the intention to play it, but it costs too much just to even practice, let alone perform somewhere. Disheartening, really.
I think that playing the violin or viola is too difficult so I can't be motivated to study about these. But I like listen to the classical music. I want to go such concert someday.
ReplyDeleteAre you learning how to play the viola? Wonderful! Please do your best!!

ReplyDeleteYou are smart. I think that going the concert is great. I want to be a man who go to the concert in person.
I don't have many opportunities to go to the concert. So, I feel enviable.
ReplyDeleteConcerts are usually expensive. But it is good that I was able to go free of charge!

Why not add links to Suntory Hall and information about the piece of music? How about a video of a performance of Chaconne?
