It is not so common that a composer has very different styles and I like them equally. Some time ago we posted one of the videos that had the most impact on this project: the beautiful work by Karen Tanaka "Crystalline II". We had long wanted to complete the profile of her piano music with this impressive composition. In my opinion, a masterpiece of modern piano (another one by Karen Tanaka).
To say that it is a favorite among my students is obvious. Its freshness, its energy without cease, its youth and its excellent pianism make of it an attractive work for young pianists. I discovered it with my superb student Itxaso Etxeberria many years ago and we did a magnificent job together ... what a joy that Itxaso follows much time later on the road of contemporary performance.
It is a work of repetitive minimalist inspiration and a certain technical difficulty. Particular attention should be paid to the work of the left hand because it hardly breathes. You should be relaxed from the first moment of study and minimize arm activity. If not relaxed, you may have tension problems in the left arm.
The memorization of these three pieces is a curious work ... sequences of numbers fill the head from the first to the last measure, as the material plays with multiple combinations and endless variations.

No es muy frecuente que un compositor tenga estilos muy diferentes y me gusten por igual. Hace ya algún tiempo colgamos uno de los vídeos que más repercusión ha tenido en este proyecto: la bellísima obra de Karen Tanaka “Crystalline II”. Hacía tiempo que queríamos completar el perfil de su música para piano con esta impresionante composición. A mi modo de ver, una obra maestra del piano moderno (otra más de Karen Tanaka).
Decir que es una favorita entre mis alumnos es obvio. Su frescura, su energía sin tregua, su juventud y su excelente pianismo hacen de ella una obra atractiva para un público joven. La descubrí con mi magnífica alumna Itxaso Etxeberria hace ya muchos años e hicimos un trabajo magnífico juntos…qué alegría que Itxaso siga mucho tiempo después en el camino de la interpretación contemporánea.
Se trata de una obra de inspiración minimalista repetitiva y de una cierta dificultad técnica. Se debe dedicar una especial atención al trabajo de la mano izquierda porque no respira casi ni un momento. Debe estar relajada desde el primer estudio y minimizar la actividad del brazo. En caso contrario, puede generar problemas de tensión importantes.
La memorización de estas tres piezas es un trabajo curioso…secuencias de números inundan la cabeza desde el primer hasta el último compás, pues el material juega con múltiples combinaciones y variaciones constantes que no dan tregua a la cabeza.

Cool!! Super pieces superbly interpreted. Ideal for exploding the myth of elitism in contemporary music.
I agree....more of this kind is needed. Many thanks
Incredible! Almost like Kapustin meets Toshi Ichiyanagi. Love these!
jaja...I like the mix...I used to play Ichiyanagi a lot in the past...

good thinking. I haven't noticed it...
Eu adoro absolutamente os seus vídeos. A sua interpretação das obras de Tanaka é divinal, técnica incrível e tocando de memória estas peças tão difíceis de decorar. Gosto também muito do trabalho do vídeo! Qual foi o microfone usado para a captação?
Gracias!
Hola António. Muchas gracias por tus preciosas palabras. Se las traslado a mi técnico y editor de vídeo. Los micrófonos que usamos son una pareja de Rode K2. Seguimos en contacto. Un abrazo
lunarcridious....ok thts my own Word just came to mind listening to this etudes hehe
is that good or bad?
@@RicardoDescalzo depends of the mood i guess...lol
quite delicious ........
Thank you! Great to hear these works. So interesting! This kind or rhythmic consistency is something the standard rep hasn’t taught me to this extreme extent. Do you recall how long you worked on learning this music? I enjoyed it, thanks again!
hi. It's difficult to remember. It was quite a long time ago. In fact, I think I worked on these pieces with my students before playing them myself. It was very a natural process. But I have to say that we drew several pages with numbers to be able to momorize all the patterns and variations. They are easy at first sight, but it becomes more difficult when you increase speed. And memorizing can be challenging in some parts...
The video was from long ago so I really appreciate you trying to remember your history with the pieces. Thanks also for you reply. Great job again!
Is there a midi file available? (Or can I buy one?)
Not that I know. Sorry…
i'd love to send you my electroacoustic piano solo work.
never saw this message....sorry
@@RicardoDescalzo no worries at all!
Well, okay, technically impressive-but is there any kind of feeling being expressed here? (Other than the feeling of someone wanting to impress someone, I mean?)
There so many ways to feel and so many feelings involved while listening or playing music. If you don't feel anything it only means the music doesn't touch you. Not the same for me; and for so many people around that get exicted by it. I would even say that music doesn't need to make you feel anything. Music has value for itself (if you like the piece).
Wow. Subscribed!
many thanks
