Marginalia VI
高木正勝
高木正勝、初のプライベート・ピアノ曲集。 山の中にあるピアノとその自然豊かな光景を そのまま切り取ったかのような 穏やかで生命感に満ちた音楽。 陽光、影、雨に雷、鳥や虫に獣、風、草花や樹々、 すぐそこにある自然を招き入れて、 共に奏で合うピアノ。 付け足しもやり直しもない、 その日その場で出会ったすべてを愛おしく綴った、 日々の記録。 新しいピアノ・ミュージック 『Marginalia（マージナリア）』。 現在も進行中のシリーズより。 自然を主旋律として、ピアノは調和を。 マージナリア第６集。 山で暮らす前は 春がはじまりの季節でしたが 春は生きものたちの集大成 次のいのちに繋げ すべてが去っていく季節のように感じます その後にやってくる「初夏」が ほんとうのはじまりのような 瑞々しい緑潤いの水の季節 窓を開けて 自然と一緒に奏でる ピアノ曲集『マージナリア』第6集は そんなはじまりの時をひとところに Marginalia' Masakatsu Takagi These daily piano recordings were made in my private studio surrounded by the mountains in Hyogo, Japan.

Marginalia VI Before I lived in the mountains, spring was the season of new beginnings, but now I feel spring is the finale of all living things, and like it's the season when everything leaves to connect to the next life. Then comes early summer, which is like the true beginning of the season of fresh greenery and moist water. Open the window and play the piano with nature in collection "Marginalia" Vol. 6, which captures such a time of new beginnings in one place.

Marginalia' Masakatsu Takagi These daily piano recordings were made in my private studio surrounded by the mountains in Hyogo, Japan. I opened all the windows to welcome the sounds of nature and played the piano without any sort of preparation : no overdubbing, no writing, no editing, no fixing... just as it is. What you are listening to now are raw, improvised piano recordings where the sounds of nature and the musical notes are recorded at the same time, in harmony without any discrimination. I love to think that nature might also listen to my piano. The nature is the melody. The piano is the harmony. credits released February 6, 2025 Piano by Masakatsu Takagi Recorded February 6 2025 (13:40) Photo by Mika Takagi

Marginalia VI
高木正勝
高木正勝、初のプライベート・ピアノ曲集。 山の中にあるピアノとその自然豊かな光景を そのまま切り取ったかのような 穏やかで生命感に満ちた音楽。 陽光、影、雨に雷、鳥や虫に獣、風、草花や樹々、 すぐそこにある自然を招き入れて、 共に奏で合うピアノ。 付け足しもやり直しもない、 その日その場で出会ったすべてを愛おしく綴った、 日々の記録。 新しいピアノ・ミュージック 『Marginalia（マージナリア）』。 現在も進行中のシリーズより。 自然を主旋律として、ピアノは調和を。 マージナリア第６集。 山で暮らす前は 春がはじまりの季節でしたが 春は生きものたちの集大成 次のいのちに繋げ すべてが去っていく季節のように感じます その後にやってくる「初夏」が ほんとうのはじまりのような 瑞々しい緑潤いの水の季節 窓を開けて 自然と一緒に奏でる ピアノ曲集『マージナリア』第6集は そんなはじまりの時をひとところに Marginalia' Masakatsu Takagi These daily piano recordings were made in my private studio surrounded by the mountains in Hyogo, Japan.

Marginalia VI Before I lived in the mountains, spring was the season of new beginnings, but now I feel spring is the finale of all living things, and like it's the season when everything leaves to connect to the next life. Then comes early summer, which is like the true beginning of the season of fresh greenery and moist water. Open the window and play the piano with nature in collection "Marginalia" Vol. 6, which captures such a time of new beginnings in one place.
