Music videos where performance and notation synchronize Ayako Ishikawa's extraordinary technique
Turtle Music, which handles CM music production, released a music video (MV) on November 12 featuring violinist Ayako Ishikawa performing "Caprice No. 24 in A minor, Op. 24" (Paganini), known worldwide as an extremely difficult piece. This MV visually conveys the complexity of the piece—unfathomable through listening alone—by synchronizing Ishikawa's virtuosic performance with the real-time writing of the musical notation.
Paganini is famously known as a composer who left no written scores. However, for this work, the original handwritten score documenting Ishikawa's bowing technique can be downloaded directly and free of charge from the YouTube video. This marks the first attempt to distribute sheet music using the MV as an entry point. |
In November 2012, at the "PLAY FOR JAPAN Charity Concert with Bonds Connected by a Thousand Sounds" held at Dentsu Hall in Shiodome, Tokyo, to support recovery from the Great East Japan Earthquake, Ms. Ishikawa performed using a violin crafted from driftwood from the disaster-affected areas.
