Violinist Kazumi Koyasu demonstrated Chopin's "Farewell Song".

Arranged Chopin's piano masterpiece for violin solo

Chopin's etude (opus number 10-3) is known as a "farewell song" and the opening melody is a masterpiece of a piano piece that everyone has heard. However, I think that the true charm of this song can only be explained through the entire song, such as the intense middle part. Lento & Vivace, all songs are arranged for stringed instruments, woodwind instruments, brass instruments, and 12 types of instrumental music so that you can feel the true charm of Chopin.
We hope that you will actually use the sheet music and piano accompaniment sound source sold by violinist Kazumi Koyasu to perform, and everyone will feel the goodness of the arrangement of Lento & Vivace. Please listen to the performance first.

 

Arrangement of Lento & Vivace

1. Make the key easy to play.

I think that a song with many accidentals in the original song is annoying to the performer. At Rent & Vivace, the score is adjusted to the extent that it does not impair the goodness of the original song, and the score of transposing instruments such as saxophone, horn, and trumpet is also changed to a key that is easy to play. At Lento & Vivace, our top priority is to enjoy playing.

2. Arrange according to the characteristics of the instrument.

The characteristics differ depending on the instrument, such as an instrument with a different range, an instrument with a beautiful high-pitched tone, and an instrument with a beautiful midrange sound. Even with the same melody, we are trying to change the phrase depending on the instrument.

3. The accompaniment is also devised so that it is easy to play while listening to the piano accompaniment.

A melody guide is not included in the piano accompaniment so that it can be used for full-scale performances such as recitals. A prelude is added to songs that do not have a prelude, and sounds are added to the piano accompaniment for parts that tend to lose their tempo, and we have devised ways to make it easier to play along with the accompaniment.

4. Variations are also incorporated into the accompaniment sound source and sheet music.

In Elger's "Salut d'Amour" and Masne's "Tyce's Meditation", there are two types of cello sheet music, one centered on the treble range and the other with an octave lowered to prioritize ease of playing. Since there are many early passages, we have prepared two types of tempo: slow eyes with quarter note = 95 and slightly earlier with quarter note = 105. Some songs have variations that the performer can choose according to the performance level.
 
All the songs are full of masterpieces that are worth playing with all your heart, so if you play them carefully, you will discover the charm of the songs even more. Please choose a song you like and rediscover the joy of playing.
 
<< Message from Kazumi Koyasu >>
This time, I played Chopin's masterpiece, which is the original song of the piano solo. Original song It was very easy to play because it was transposed to match the violin, while retaining the splendor of. Devil The sound quality and arrangement of the recorded piano accompaniment sound source can be heard firmly while playing the instrument, so unlike the conventional ones that tend to be played along with the accompaniment sound, it is naturally put on the piano sound. I was able to play.
It is easy to play and adjusted according to the type of instrument, so by choosing the score that suits you, you can experience the joy and fun of playing a masterpiece that is familiar to your ears, and make classical music more enjoyable. I hope you will feel closer to us.
