There is a dictionary Nederlands-Japanese in Japan.
But there is not a dictionary Japanese- Nederlands.

I use Mac OS X Tiger and I can use a Widget for translation English-Nederlands and Nederlands-English.
It have a problem. Reactions are very late these than others language, for exsample French-English.

Ours teacher of Nederlans returns her home in Belgie.
We ask her "We want the dictionary English-Nederlands".
And she bought it for us.
It is English-Nederlands but also Nederlands-English and very useful !

I will study with my best!

The Baroque Dance

, , ,

I have been learning the Baroque Dance since eary this year.

Yesterday, I had the lesson it.
It is after a long time, I dance. Because, some The Lesson Day was same in My concert.

We learned and danced about Courante and Sarabande.
Both dance is difficult.

When we danced the courante, Music is very strange then confused
It had No Takt ! scared

I think that performer is teacher's friend. But the oerformer is very famous Harpsichordist ! scared
I was very suprised at this !

It is very important for the Dance Music, the Takt is clear.
Players must do it. I think so I must play it, and I want to play it.

Sure some peoples have someone's opinions and some performers have some ways.
And some performer plays some playing and performance.

But I think so...
The Dance Music was danced.
I want to play it , that We can dance.

Early Music's Sounds is splendid

In the day before the concert, we went to Hiroshima, and we rehearsed our concert.
This Concert place was XABIER Hall in ELISABETH University of Music.
We teach each instrumental performing in this University.
We were able to use hall very long time on the day.
We practiced on duo (Recorder & Harpsichord, Mandolin & Recorder and Mandolin & Harpsichord) before the day,but we had the first practice on Trio and Quartet on the day.
But we were not use such a long time.
Because Mr.Henseler, Mr.Kawaguchi and Ms. Narikawa are wonderful players. I had a best too.

The Hall have a Harpsichord but the Harpsichord is used a little.
So I played the Harpsichord for the next day concert.
Because If the Harpsichord sounds is not wonderful in instrumental, this sounds is not wonderful in the hall.
So I played the instrumental for wonderful sounds in the Rehearsal.
I thik that It is one of Harpsichordist's Work. So I had my best.

The next day, in the Concert, We were able to see that the Listners were glad. And We were glad.


I think that Performing with wonderful players is very important.

I want to perform very wonderful music.
I want to be very wonderful Harpsichordist.
So I must be very wonderful Harpsichordist and Musician !
I will do my best !

But I have not 9days Holiday, I have work too.
My Works are plactices for concert, but I like it.
Because I want giving the wonderful concert.

Today, I study Nederlandse too.
I study it on every Monday.
It is very difficult language.

I think about languages.wait

The Japanese Language is beautyful.
We say, It is a strange that young people talk Japanese.
I think too.worried
But I think that the mother language is a valuable,
and I think that Japanese is beautyful.

I study English and French, but I can't speak those well.
English, French and Nederlandse are more positive than Japanese.
I like it.
So I want to know those.

The Musical Note is a close relationship with many languages.

The Language is a way of comunication for us.
The Musical Note is a way of comunication for me too.

The Musical Note may be a way of comunication for composers ; J.S.Bach, G.F.Handel and so on.
It mean that I must need kowledge many language.bigsmile

I think that. So I will do it best !
