Differences between architecture and music depending on climate
Did you notice that the intro to SAKURA in Jazz emphasizes the time between sounds?
It was a piano lesson that made me notice the unique Japanese timing.
At the time, my piano teacher had moved and I had just started studying with a new piano teacher for a fresh start.
If I remember correctly, it was when I was practicing Franz Liszt’s Love Dream No. 3.
My piano teacher warned me about my pedaling, saying that the sound was muddy.
