Song Production Information
TAKA respect for J.S.B.
This is No.13, from the renowned composer J.S. Bach's Invention.
Even among the classical music, to those who know this song, you're quite the Bach expert, right?
I'm certain that the songs in Invention were originally created as piano études, and there are basically many compositions for the left and right hands, but Bach is also known for countermelodies. The changes from right hand to left hand, and left hand to right hand, are both musical and mathematical, and I think the tension and release of the two parts interacting with each other have maximum talent.
As expected, there's nothing more to say about this. You can't hear the delicate interactions in my arrangement, so to those who love it, why don't you try searching for a live piano performance vinyl of this piece? I think you'd be quite impressed.
Even if IIDX existed 300 years ago, I wonder if Bach would create études in IIDX with this feeling, a classic and romantic story.
Video Production Information
TOM
The production schedule for this video was very tight, and I had less than a week to complete it, from the end of the year to the New Year.
This is my first time participating in IIDX, so how was it? I created this while being careful about synchronizing the sound and video.
I'd be happy if your heart resonates with this video.
