ChopinThis is an interesting work that, while following the style of Western piano compositions exemplified by Chopin, incorporates Yamada's unique Japanese lyricism and sense of timing. With sustained notes, there is a joy in playing while feeling the tranquility and atmosphere of the night, savoring the resonance of each moment without concern for the subsequent notes. From the upbeat of measure 13 to measure 16, the melody unfolds like a heartfelt dialogue, a passage where each performer will want to imbue it with their own emotions. From measure 18, a very romantic night song is performed. A romantic melody is sung under the strong message of 'appassionato e doloroso', yet the dynamics range from mezzo forte to piano. That a passionate, unfulfilled love song is not played with forte or fortissimo might suggest a sensibility distinct from Italian vocal music.
