Playing together with someone more experienced is one of the ways to accelerate our music learning. This year, PTNA launched the "concerto for two pianos" (category A & B) in the duo division of PTNA Piano Competition.
Shion Ota, the 1st prize winner of the category A (classical pieces), was excited to play with one of the pianists whom she adores, Takuya Tainaka. She felt the music grew wider and deeper as she played together, and furthermore, was also inspired through his attitude how to love and learn music in depth. Mari Takeda, her teacher, said how important it is to learn concerto and ensemble from early childhood, which also develops solo performance. =>Listen (Mozart: Piano concert No.20, K.466, 1st mov.)
The category B is for free repertoires. According to Michiko Sumino, a piano teacher and the mother of the 1st prize winner, her son Hayato learned how to drive the music forward by himself, not only match or support other instrumentalists, and knew the importance of understanding the entire score. =>Listen (Chopin: Piano Concerto No.1 Op.11, 1st mov.)
They will play with an orchestra in the prize winners' concert next May.
Rintaro Akamatsu, a pianist and teacher, recommends young pianists to play concertos to experience composers' imagination, wide variety of sounds and harmonies. According to him, "Schumann gives voices to clarinet, cello, etc. to voice out affection to his beloved wife", "Brahms lets horn to speak out nostalgia in life", "Ravel manipulates the orchestral sounds as if being enchanted by child's magic", etc.
