The image of a sunset view, in this improvisation has evolved into " Youyake Koyake " Impression was that idled Bosendorfer such as steel and the lack of pre-pull without answered quite well.
Brilliant concert on the 12th province on September 30, 2012 Yome studio Maebashi Hideaki Koka performance
This is a solo piano improvisation played in the program of my live piano trio.
Sangam , a live house is supposed to be a power spot of improvisation. ( http://sangam.moo.jp/top.htm ) Image of this performance is like a crow dark night, not so good. I blame the camera borrowed from my wife.I've uploaded tone of the performance was so good. There was a strange feeling that music gives rise naturally from the body. Mr. Ogawa, drummer has lost the opportunity to escape.

For me, that there are people who are interested in playing on the other side of the world like this is that I am very happy Comments such as the following have been received. Absolutely beautiful!!! Very inspiring, and thanks for sharing with us on U Tube. It is most appreciated!!!
"宇宙人が宇宙人を発見したような"コメントですが、この" One of us "にじーんと来た。地球の裏側に、このような即興の世界に共感を覚える人がいて、コメントを書き込んでもらえる、というのはまさにYouTubeの醍醐味と言える。
Yes, Viktor, agreed. Thankyou for 'discovering' this guy -I feel like you he is one of 'us'. I hope this fine musician feels the same.
Beautiful and lyrical playing. Harmonically and emotionally balanced. Cascading arpeggios echo onto the shores of the West from the East. A seamless and very well-structured improvised marraige of classical and jazz.
Very refreshing, life-enhancing and ultimately
very moving performance. All the better for having an audience:)
Dec. 26, 2010 Schubelt Salon / PIANO PLAZA TAKASAKI " SPLENDED ZYO-SHU-ONGAKU-KAI , 5th " 2010.12.26 第五回 華麗なる上州音楽会 ピアノプラザ高崎 / シューベルトサロン 甲賀英明(p) (クラシック系の)ピアノサークルの発表会での演奏。このサークルの発表会は二回目の参戦。出演者は12歳から62歳までと幅広く、18組の出演者の内、男性が10名と男性多め。参加は地元だけでなく、東京、横浜、茨城、栃木 関東一円から参加者があり。声楽あり、ホルンあり、ピアノ即興もあり、結構レベル高めでした。 大人のピアノは「思い入れが」深くて聞いていて面白い。 前回、頭の中から音を出せずに時計を気にして失敗したため、今回は時計なしで演奏しました。考えたのは最初のパッセージだけ。あとは自然に体から出てきた音にさらに反応することを繰り返す。ピアノがどのように受け止め、返してくれるかどうか。 全体の構成、つなぎに難ありですが、このクラスのピアノを弾くといつもと違うフレーズ、パッセージが勝手に出てくるのには驚きます。スタインウェイはつくづく男性的なピアノだと思いました。 ジャズを弾いていると左手が和音専門で弱くなるような気がします。

The 5th Gorgeous Joshu Concert
Piano Plaza Takasaki / Schubert Salon
Koga Hideaki (p)
Performed at a (classical) piano circle recital. This was the second time I participated in this circle's recital. The performers ranged in age from 12 to 62, and out of the 18 performers, there were 10 men, so there were more men than women. Participants were not only from the local area, but also from Tokyo, Yokohama, Ibaraki, Tochigi, and all over the Kanto region. There was vocal music, horns, and piano improvisation, and the level was quite high.
The adult piano is interesting to listen to because it has a deep "feeling".
Last time, I couldn't make a sound from inside my head and I was worried about the clock, so I failed, so this time I performed without a clock. I only thought about the first passage. After that, it's just a matter of repeatedly reacting to the sound that comes naturally from your body. It's all about how the piano receives and responds.
There are some issues with the overall structure and transitions, but when you play a piano of this class, it's amazing how different phrases and passages than usual come out of nowhere. I really think that the Steinway is a masculine piano.
When I play jazz, I feel like my left hand becomes weak because it only plays chords.
Damaged Bösendorfer Revival Concert - Japan GanbarouPiano jazz cafe in Miyako, Iwate Prefecture of victims in the earthquake tsunami East, was revived after the restoration work at the music store in Takasaki.

at Maebasi Civc Cultural Hallentitled " Evil Thoughts " 第七回 華麗なる上州音楽会前橋市民文化会館 小ホール大人のピアノサークルは「蘊蓄」と「こだわり」と「演奏前の言い訳」と「飲み会」に尽きます。ピアノソロ即興に必要なものは、「一時間半の指慣らし」と「調律の良いピアノ」と「十分な睡眠」と「景色のイメージを作ること」でしょうか。ソロの前は最初のモチーフを少し考えます。それと最後の部分(起承転結の最初と最後のモチーフだけ決める)途中はピアノと会話しながら出できた音に反応しながら指が勝手に動く感覚です。ほとんど頭は使っていません。景色の変更のイメージだけ考えています。いわば音楽の排出作業。実はバドワイザーを一本だけ飲むと抑制が はずれるのか、最もスムーズに音楽が出てくる。ただし、それ以上飲むと少し耳が聞こえなくなる。July 3, 2011 7th Splendid-Joshu-Ongakukaiat Maebasi Civc Cultural Hallentitled "Evil Thoughts"The 7th Splendid Joshu ConcertMaebashi Civic Cultural Hall Small HallAdult piano circles are all about "knowledge", "particularity", "excuses before performances" and "drinking parties".What is needed for piano solo improvisation is "an hour and a half to warm up your fingers", "a well-tuned piano", "sufficient sleep" and "creating an image of a scenery".Before the solo, I think a little about the first motif. And in the last part (deciding only the first and last motifs of the introduction, development, turn and conclusion), I feel like my fingers move on their own, responding to the sounds I make while talking to the piano. I hardly use my head. I only think about the image of the change in scenery. It's like a process of expelling music. In fact, if I drink just one Budweiser, my inhibitions are released and the music comes out most smoothly. However, if you drink more than that, you will become a little deaf.
March 11, 2011, by a massive earthquake around the Tohoku region, many people died. This day I was traveling on business in Tokyo. I've had terrible experiences due to stop all the traffic network.
Might be imprudent, here, I drew some scenery of an earthquake in piano improvisation. Earthquake, tsunami attack, confusion, despair, prayer, and finally a ray of hope, expressed in piano improvisation. While I was playing the improvisation, I have played enough empathy tears well up. The original landscape stands out first, I wanted to express that "Prayer" is.
Apri 17, 2011 Yume-Studio. Maebashi Piano : Bechstein Type E Full Concert Grand Piano by H Kohga
This performance was done in the middle of a live performance by the "Sanada Band". I was 28 years old when I performed this piano solo improvisation. It was performed at the now defunct "Swing" in Takasaki.
It's 38 years ago, which is frightening. At the time, I was (and still am) a huge fan of Keith Jarrett. The owner of Takasaki K-note is sitting to my right. (The owner of K-note played with me in the Sanada Band.
It's a very straightforward performance, and even if I listen to it now, I'll never be able to do the explosive part at the end again (bitter laugh). It's not something that can be achieved by repeated practice, but rather the music that emerges from the atmosphere of the venue, your physical condition, and your mood at the time. At the time, I had just gotten married and was working at the Saitama Cancer Center.
Keith Jarrett "imitation" piano solo improvisation Takasaki/Swing July 21, 1985
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This performance is an improvisation at the circle meeting of the classical piano held on May 20, 2017. The name of the party is "the 4th Opus Gunma". The former Chairman of the Gangsang Concert was held 20 times, but the organizer changed and the title of the meeting changed. I first joined from 2010, but since then I am planning to play improvisation of the solo piano with "good piano" and "good hall".
Improvisation was exhausted, and before that time the solo improvisation was about once every two to three years.
Improvisation at the sleeves of the stage before
Semi-concert Gland Piano of this Steinway is relatively compatible. And this hole should be my favorite place around here to play improvisation.At least, we only have to think about the first sound and motif. Too much thinking is prohibited. Let's start with a dissonance long 7 degrees. I do not think about the previous deployment.After that, let's leave it to the sound, fingertips, and the piano. Let's run for a while without being conscious of ○ ○ like.
I was playing while watching the clock before and it sometimes "crashed." I have made sure not to watch the clock since then. This time it was a declaration for 12 minutes, but you have to rely on your own body clock. This watch goes fast as soon as you get in touch with the piano and there is a problem that advance will be delayed if you do not get along with the piano.
During Improvisation
The tone gradually rises gradually. Unlike usual, triplets are in a pattern that conflicts with left hand and right hand. By the example of good condition, the feeling that the fingers and the piano are playing arbitrarily. Sounds spring up rapidly. It is a sense that I am overlooking the place where my fingers and piano are playing arbitrarily from behind 2-3 meters. I do not use much of my head. If it is using it, it is about the change of the scene.
It ended quite quickly. A very fun time. I appreciate the piano, the hall and the staff.
After the performance
Applying for 12 minutes later, when we measured it, it exceeded 15 minutes. that? It was a 12-minute experience. Looking back at the performance, I do not recognize myself at all, but now I notice that the sound of the route is rising or decreasing once. I rarely use II-V. There are only a few solutions that become the next code for one given code.
I do not understand the tonality on the way. It makes a round trip between three beat and four beat. Or is it a 12 time signature?
Referring the piano
The real pleasure of this circle is that I can play the piano of various halls. Depending on the piano, intention and fingers dissociate and may run idle. The piano not good at Takasaki is Besendorfer of Takasaki Symphony Hall and Benzendorfer of Yume Studio. The former is out of the question. The latter has a trauma that was crashed. Whether we are not good at Bösendorfer, Besen of Takasaki City Gallery is not bad for compatibility. The Steinway at Maebashi citizens' cultural hall is an easy-to-transmit intention of a dream studio. Although I do not dislike sounds coming from a 1923 birth-baked Bechstein grandmother, the touch is subtle. The problem of compatibility between piano and hall and me is important.
About improvisation
It is usually boring to listen to improvisation by others. The reason is that the code pattern of the left hand is fixed to 2 or 4 codes. It is necessary to make variations of the left hand pattern as naturally as possible.
I often hear about improvisation. Even if you say improvisation, we will not come out except drawers and parts that you own. I will say that various parts and music experience are important. Of course, in my case Keith Jarrett 's Solo Concert heard when I was a high school student is the starting point. Fake Keith is becoming a recently broken scuba bin.

○ I let you go to listen to the opas umama secretly. I was impressed, so it was a little out of here. The first start is the atmosphere that makes me feel favorite Bartok, it is amazing. And what a lovely phrase from that pretty hand! Again, why are you out so much? Well, I'm busy with work but awesome after that. I was impressed. that's all. I'm pretty obliged. I was glad I let you go and listen.
○ I only felt the 9th heart mind. It is very impressive performance.

"In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" is a 1955 popular song composed by David Mann, with lyrics by Bob Hilliard. It was introduced as the title track of Frank Sinatra's 1955 album In the Wee Small Hours.
Mann and Hilliard wrote it during a post-midnight session at Hilliard's New Jersey home. Mann was about to depart for New York, when Hilliard insisted he remain to try some impromptu songwriting. Mann reluctantly agreed and eventually came up with the tune, to which Hilliard quickly wrote a lyric.
