Believing in myself by believing in you all

About Me

Sumire started to play piano when she was four years old. She graduated from Musashino Academia Musicae, and after she quitted her career in music education at a primary school, she started to be a professional pianist and a piano instructor. Also she plays as a duo, four hands on a piano, with Tomoko. The audience always love her in either solo and duo. Passion and reason live together in her performance in the best manner supporting each other. Composers she got mostly inspired by are listed in Influences.
What she says to be important when playing is "to sing". Even if you play an instrument, she says "sing! sing!". If you can not sing the music you play even if it has no lyrics, she says, you can not play it.
Everybody loves her and she loves everybody.
Sumire thanks everybody who may not be listed here knowing how she has been helped by others to be herself, and knowing the influence her neighbours made on her life without which she would not be what she is today.
Thanks a lot.

Johann Sebastian Bach:
Chaconne, BWV 1004
Sumire says Bach's Chaconne describes scenes from Mythology "Orpheus and Eurydice". It reads as follows:
When Orpheus' wife, Eurydice, was killed by the bite of a serpent, he went down to the underworld to bring her back. His songs were so beautiful that Hades finally agreed to allow Eurydice to return to the world of the living. However, Orpheus had to meet one condition: he must not look back as he was conducting her to the surface. Just before the pair reached the upper world, Orpheus looked back, and Eurydice slipped back into the netherworld once again.
Orpheus was inconsolable at this second loss of his wife. He spurned the company of women and kept apart from ordinary human activities. A group of Ciconian Maenads, female devotees of Dionysus, came upon him one day as he sat singing beneath a tree. They attacked him, throwing rocks, branches, and anything else that came to hand. However, Orpheus' music was so beautiful that it charmed even inanimate objects, and the missiles refused to strike him. Finally, the Maenads' attacked him with their own hands, and tore him to pieces. Orpheus' head floated down the river, still singing, and came to rest on the isle of Lesbos.
