<Performance Techniques>
For pop-music style performances, we would like to hear the groove you’ve manually created with your own hands and feet without relying on machienary-programmed rhythms.
For performances of classical music, we would like you to thoroughly express the precise sense of rhythm found even in classical music performances.
We would like you to use more sensitivity and concentration, not only when pressing keys or beginning phrases, but also when releasing notes or ending phrases. Have an intensive awareness of various musical nuances as you express the phrases during your performance.
When taking on the role of an entire band or orchestra on Electone, it is important to be broadly expressive. It is especially important to convincingly convey a sense of self-assurance and to confidently express what you want to express through the music.
<The Compulsory Performance>
Being able to make full use of various tone colors is one of the appealing points of Electone, but too many tone colors within a single musical work, the more crucial being able to arrange them skillfully becomes. In this competition the connections between phrases, etc., from the performers who used relatively reserved tone colors came across more clearly.
<Other>
On-stage performance qualities such as stage manners and facial expressions after finishing performances were good.
We would like you to take the opportunity to think about how much concentration is required, how much thought goes into your performance, and how you have to play in order to reach your audience in these four or five minutes. Treasure everything, both the joy and the regret you gained in this opportunity, and continue enjoying music from here on as much as you can.
Dec. 16 (Junior Age Group 1 and Senior Group)
< Junior Age Group 1>
It was good that you could make the music your own with your life size musicianship.
The free-selection pieces were also good.
We want you to definitely have opportunities to listen to music such as live orchestra performances, etc.
We want you to continue playing Electone far into the future.
<Senior Group: The Compulsory Arranged Piece>
Both unpredictability and pre-established harmony are particularly necessary when arranging these well-known melodies, but the key point is how to balance these two aspects.
(Compulsory pieces)
The compulsory pieces are comparatively simple pieces of music that can be played with various styles. The important point was whether the performer could fully read from the music the detailed, nuanced expressions that must be mastered.
Performers should fully refine their ear and technique, including touch, phrasing, how to express linear movements in three dimensions, and how to express balanced polyphony.
<Senior Group: The Original Piece>
There were many performances with numerous mood changes and climaxes that felt like too much for the five-minute time limit. As you compose your piece, we would like you to remember the importance of natural flow of musical.
Whether your theme is appealing is very important, so we would like you to put careful consideration into composing it.
There was a notable difference between the pieces that had well-considered connections in various ideas and assorted moods, and those that did not.
<Other>
Being able to freely manipulate various tone colors is an appealing point of Electone, but we would like you to learn not to put too much into a single music, and to carefuly and objectively listen to your own sound.
People have taken the time to come hear you perform, so we would like you to aim for a performance that shares emotions and inspiration with your audience.
