Sonoma news site rehashed article "Blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii to share his 'view' at Weill Hall ": Blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii to share his view
It is too bad that the Sonoma publicity keeps labeling Nobu as "blind pianist" -- those of us in California should know better.

This Q&A on Yahoo Japan infuriates me.
Q: 辻井伸行と吉田秀和 Tsujii Nobuyuki and Hidekazu Yoshida (a literary and music critic)
昨年5月音楽評論家吉田秀和さんが逝去されましたが吉田さんは辻井伸行さんの演奏をどのように観ておられたのでしょうか。ご存じの方、ご教示ください。
私見では辻井さんの演奏は、吉田さんが愛好していたSolomonに通じるように感じるのですがいかがでしょうか。彼の演奏は、眼で楽譜からではなく耳で体から覚えた音で あって、昔の検校さん（宮城道雄や今井慶松など盲人音楽家）のような、小脳の底から鳴っているように感じますがいかがですか
Although music criticYoshida Hidekazu-san passed away in May last year, I imagine that he observed the playing of Nobuyuk Tsujii. In my opinion, the playing of Mr. Tsujii is the kind that Mr. Yoshida loves, but how do you feel? His playing is a sound that he learned from the body in the ear rather than from the score in the eye, such as old Kengyo's (Michio Miyagi and Imai Keisho such as the blind musician); to me it sounds like coming from the bottom of thecerebellum.
There was only one answer from musicum2012さん
さぁ～、どうなんでしょうか。
辻井さんについて書かれた記事は皆無です。
世界中の、無数の素晴らしい音楽家による演奏を聴いてきた人ですので、辻井さんごときの演奏には「ふ～ん、目が見えないのに上手だね」程度にしか思わなかったんじゃないですかね。
辻井さんの演奏を聴く機会が間違いなくあったにもかかわらず記事が無いということは、あんまり良い印象が無かったのでは。
Well, there was no article that he wrote about Mr. Tsujii. I guess, having heard the world's great musicians, he would probably say the performance of Mr. Tsujii is "good, for someone who cannot see".
And since he surely must have had the opportunity to see Mr. Tsujii perform, the fact that he wrote nothing about him probably means the impression was not favorable."
Isn't that the most ridiculous argument? I wanted to post a response, but the question has been closed. If I could, I would have posted a response that says:
The revered critic, who lived from 1913 to 2012, probably had other matters to occupy him in his advanced age by the time Nobu came to fame. And, in any case, surely a wise critic would realize that during his own last years on earth, the young pianist was still at his formative stage and so no conclusion should yet be drawn. If you dislike the piano music of Tsujii-san, please say so as your own opinion, instead of hiding behind the presumed opinion of a deceased critic who could no longer speak for himself!
And then there is this tweet:
『THE PIANIST！辻井伸行×加古隆×レ・フレール』やっと見られた。行こうか迷ってたら全公演完売だとか…ピアノだけのコンサートで完売ってすごいなぁ。勿論、皆知名度も実力もある人たちだけど、地方だとツィメルマンみたいな巨匠が来ても席が埋まらないことあるからなぁ。 I finally saw "THE PIANIST! Nobuyuki × Takashi Kako × Les Freres". I didn't go to the performance before it was sold out. It is amazing for a piano-only concert to sell out. Of course, it is the personality as well as the ability, even a maestro like Zimerman could not fill the seats.
Exactly, Krystian Zimerman may be a virtuoso, but by all accounts he has a difficult personality -- he walked out of concerts and he lectured his audience about their behavior. With all due respect, he seems someone "full of himself." Nobu, on the other hand, has a friendly and humble demeanor (which is genuine) and as so many people have written on the web, "he and his miusic make people happy."

This tweet, from Editions Parentheses in Marseille, France, instantly brightened my day:

4月19日は「木もれび、春のコンサート」で辻井伸行作曲「川のせせらぎ」を演奏させて頂きました。
「木もれび」は素敵な庭を持つギャラリー。すぐ下には好間川が流れています。
全盲のピアニストである辻井伸行氏が作曲した「川のせせらぎ」を知った時、「是非、木もれ日で弾きたい！」と思いました。 全盲である辻井氏は「川」を見たことはないでしょう。父親と川沿いを散歩していた時に聞こえて来た「川の水が流れる音」をこの曲に表現したそうです。昨日は、辻井氏の素直で純真な心が捉えた「川のせせらぎ」を演奏することができ、とても良い時間を過ごすことができました。
"Sunlight, Spring Concert" was held on April 19, and I was allowed to play "Whisper of the River" composed by Tsujii Nobuyuki.
The "Sunlight" gallery has a nice garden that overlooks the Yoshimagawa River [in Fukushima].
When I learned that "Whisper of the River" was composed by Nobuyuki Tsujii, I thought, "Some day, I want to play it on Sunlight Day. Mr. Tsujii, who is blind, never saw and will never see the "river". It is said that he heard the "sound of the flowing water of the river" when he was taking a walk with his father along the river, and wrote the work to express his love for his father. Yesterday, it is possible for me to play the "Whisper of the River" that captures the innocent and guileless mind of Mr. Tsujii. We were able to spend a very good time.

... some of our friends bought us this Kawai toy piano [video link] as a birthday present for our eldest. It’s not cheap as you can see, but highly popular. It may have something to do with the story that Nobuyuki Tsujii, the piano genius, had played one when he was a two year old. [video link] As he grew up to be this good [video link], many parents went out and bought a Kawai piano (in fact, it became a selling point) in the hope that some magic lay within its plinky-plonky-planky notes.

盲目のピアニスト辻井伸行の26年間。
ＮＨＫの夜の11時過ぎのラジオの番組で、辻井伸行と26年間という題で、
お母さんが出生から子育てと3日間話され、とても感激しました。
以前にお父さんが産婦人科医でお母さんがアナウンサーと聞いており、
番組の内容も素晴らしくアナウンサーらしくとても素敵なお声でした。
この中で、生まれた時から目が見えず、少なからずご両親は悲しんだことでしょう。
子育ての中で、お花がとても好きな伸行君。
全盲の方のお母さんの御本を読んで、においやお花の形を触らせることで、
さらにお花が楽しくなり、心に明るさが見えたそうです。
その後5歳のころからピアノの音に興味を覚え、
ピアノを習いはじめ、毎日楽しく練習していたそうです。
ピアノの先生からコンクールに出てみてごらんと推薦され、優勝するようになったそうです。
その後練習を重ね、いろいろなコンクールで優勝して天才ピアニストとなりました。
お父さんは産婦人科医、障害を持った赤ちゃんが生まれその後の成長ぶりを見て、
私自身もハンディキャップを持つ息子の父ですが、
ハンディキャップがあるからと絶望する必要もなければ、
悲しむこともないのだと息子に教えてもらいました。
周囲の方々の協力もあり、ピアニストとして活躍する場を与えていただいています。
コンサートの舞台に立つ息子の姿を見るのが一番の楽しみですと。
3日間共、放送の最後に伸行君のピアノの演奏が流れまた感激でした。

26 years of blind pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii
On the 11PM NHKradio programs under the title of "Nobuyuki Tsujii's 26 years", for three days his mother spoke about raising children from birth, I was very impressed.
Previously I had heard that the father is an obstetrician and the mother is an announcer. On the program her voice was very pleasant and the content of the program was also wonderful.
He was born blind, and often than not the parents would be sad.
Growing up, Nobuyuki-kun was very fond of flowers.
The mother read books about the blind so that the touch of the shape and the smell of the flowers make them interesting to him, and make his mind appreciate the brightness.
Then recognizing his interest in the sound of the piano,
she introduced him to piano lessons from the age of five, and it seems that everyday he practices happily.
It was recommended that she sought a piano teacher for him to try out at piano competitions, and he began to win. Then through repeated practice, he became a genius pianist and won in various competitions.
His dad the obstetrician observed for the first time the upbringing of a baby born with a disability ... it is easy to despair because of the handicap, but she had to teach the son so that he does not feel sad.
There is also the support of people around to give him the opportunity to be active as a pianist.
It is the most fun for the mother to watch the sight of his son standing on the stage at a concert.
On each of the 3 days, the thrilling piano playing of Mr. Nobuyuki was flowing at the end of the broadcast.

技術的な難しさよりも表現力を！
ピアノという芸事ですが…
For accomplishment on piano, the expressive power is more than the technical difficulties!
これはやはり小さな頃から習っていた方が有利であり、先日のブログにも書かせて頂きましたように持ち合わせたセンスや才能などもあるので、誰もが頑張りさえすれば難曲と言われる曲をマスター出来るわけではありません…
と言い切ってしまっては元も子もないのですが…
例えば、私もこのような仕事をしながら、手が異常に小さいので弾けない曲もあるのです(u_u)
[translation beyond me]
ただ…その分は表現力で補いたいと思っております^_^
勿論この表現力というのも抽象的な言葉であり、一目でこの人は表現力があるかないか？など数字で表せるものではないのですが…
But ... for the moment we want to supplement in the expressive power ^ _ ^ ...
少し具体的にお話ししますと
私は辻井伸行さんのオリジナル曲が大好きです♪
I love the original compositions of Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii
技巧的には、さほど難しくはないものが多く、ブルグミュラーやソナチネ辺りまで弾ければ演奏出来るだろうくらいの技巧レベルです。
They are artful, but technically not very challenging
でも、私は未だに自分の生徒に発表会などの発表の場で辻井さんの曲を選曲した事はありません。
But I do not assign the compositions of Mr. Tsujii to students
何故なら…
辻井さんの曲には心が必要だからです。
言い変えればそれが、表現力です。
Because ...
The to play Mr. Tsujii's song it is necessary to engage the mind.
In other words it is the power of expression.
小学生の子に、それを求めるのはなかなか難しく…（勿論出来る子もいるでしょう）
この子なら、表情豊かに弾いてくれそう…と感じた時には弾かせてあげたいと考えています。
少し前にブームになったリチャードクレーダーマンなどもそうです。
簡単な曲であっても… いえ、簡単な曲ならば尚更、表現力に重きを置きたいのが私のモットーであります。
If a song is simple, then it is paramount to play it with expressive power. [It is difficult for young students to be able to do that ]
さて…
私の自宅教室のピアノ発表会での選曲もだいぶまとまって参りました。
いわゆる難曲を弾くような子は殆どいませんが、この子の音色は素敵だな…と思ってもらえるような演奏に仕上るのを目標に私も頑張って行きたいと思います！
次回は、演奏曲をご紹介させて頂きますね^_^

理由ピアニストの辻井伸行さんが頭や体を揺するのは何か理由があるのでしょうか？感？ピアニストの辻井伸行理由さんが頭や体を揺するのは何か理由があるの でしょうか。感情表現の一つのようにも見えますが・・歩き方も少しぎこち感ないようです。辻井さんのこの様子については、報道も触れていないようなので、 不思議に感じています。触れないことがマナーなのか、とも思いましたが、触れずに・・と考えること自体が失礼な考えなのかとも思い、率直に質問致しまし た。この質問は、活躍中のチエリアンに回答を辻井伸行リクエスピアニストトしました。
Why does Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii sway his head and body? Feeling? It looks also like an emotional expression, but ...
And his walking gait seems a little awkward.
This appearance of Mr. Tsujii is not mentioned in the media reports, for some reason.
Perhaps it is bad manner to ask, but I frankly want to know.

辻井伸行さんに限らず、視覚障害者は、体を揺することが多いです。報道がふれていないのは、それが視覚障害者の特徴の一つだからで、それにふれることが視 覚障害者の差別につながるからです。またふれなくてもいいことであります。視覚障害者はなぜ体を揺するのか。私には、視覚障害者の友人がかつていました。 彼が教えてくれところによると・・・視覚障害者は、光を感じることができないわけです。そうすると自分の立っている位置がどこなのかを感じ取るためには、 風の動きを感じるとか、何かのものにふれるとかしなければなりません。そういうものがまったく周辺にないところでは、自ら体を揺すって空気を感じるしかな いわけです。そうやって視覚障害者は、自分のいる位置を感じ取っているわけです。健常者が目で見て当然のようにとらえている世界を、視覚障害者は自分の皮 膚で感じ取ろうとしている、それだけのことではないでしょうか。歩き方がぎこちないとありますが、光が全くないのだから、むしろ当然だろうと思いますが。 辻井さんについて、音楽とはまったく関係のないところで、心ない「質問」が目立って、悲しく思っていたところでした。
[rough translation]
It is not limited to Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii . It is not unusal for someone visually impaired to rock his body.
It is one of the traits of the visually impaired that is seldom mentioned in reports, for fear that exposing it may lead to discrimination of the visually impaired.
Why do the visually impaired rock their bodies? I once had a visually impaired friend who told me ...
A visually impaired person cannot see light.。
To establish his position, he senses the movements of the wind, and he must touch something.
When there is nothing to touch, then there is no choice but to shake the body.
The visually impaired do so to give himself a sense of his position.
Sighted people can perceive the world around them, but a visually impaired person can only sense through his skin.
As for his awkward gait, I think that comes from being in the dark. It does not affect the music of Mr. Tsujii. The question does not bother me, but it makes me feel sad.

This posting may be considered a compliment to Nobu, except that the description of him is so riddled with errors that it is laughable:

Top 10 Most Popular Blind Musicians of All Time

[It is amusing to see Nobu mentioned in an an online science fiction (X-rated) written in English.]

Ya know, I saw Nobuyuki Tsujii preform once. My parents and I were vacationing in Amsterdam -I know, not the place you'd expect to see a Japanese pianist- but he was really great."
[To my knowledge, Nobu has never performed in the Netherlands.]

Yuko Kokubun, a prize-winning Tokyo female artist, was apparently at one of the Tokyo performances, and posted the following interesting tweets -- my translation of them is shaky:
辻井伸行《熱情》in サントリーホール／あぁ圧巻の第二章突入感。神様と交信してガラス玉の音を奏でていたデビュー時の少年は、昨年あたりの過渡期を経て、自立し思考する大人の音に…雄々しさを確固たるスキルで見せ付けるプロらしい、息の長いピアニストに声変わりした。
Tsujii Nobuyuki "Appassionata" in Suntory Hall / ah, we have been rushed into the second chapter of a masterpiece.
At the time of his debut he was a boy in communication with God, playing with the sound of glass beads. Last year seems to have been a transition period to an independent adult of sound thinking ... he is now a professional showing off his firm skills. He is breaking his voice into a sustained pianist. -tweet
辻 井伸行《熱情》／ショパン:舟歌 嬰ヘ長調作品60や、ベートーヴェン:ソナタ第23番ヘ短調《熱情》作品57の、猛々しい迫力はもう武者震いもの。声変わりしゆえに、ショパンには、以前 のような眩しすぎる程のキラキラ感はなくなり、リストのラ・カンパネラも別物だった。曲は生きていると実感。
Tsujii Nobuyuki "Appassionata" / Chopin: Barcarolle in F-sharp major, Op. 60 and Beethoven: Sonata No. 23 in F minor Op. 57 "Appassionata" -- the ferocious power shook the heart. The voice is breaking. The Chopin is no longer as glittering as before, and Liszt's La Campanella is also different. His music reflects his living experience.
辻 井伸行《熱情》／辻井さんの変化(ガラスの少年が重厚さを得た)を絵画で例えると、ルドンのパステル画のように音色がキラキラと歓びに踊っていたエンジェ ル少年は、ターナーのような堅牢で壮大な構成力と描写力を獲得しようと、思考する一人の人間の苦悩を露にした、という印象。
Tsujii Nobuyuki "Appassionata" / The metamorphosis of Mr. Tsujii (The glass of the youth has gained depth) -- When compared with paintings: the angel boy whose tone danced in glitter and joy as in the pastels of Rodon is now trying to acquire a robust force and magnificent structure and descriptive power, such as Turner. This is the human suffering of one person as they say in Russia - that's my impression.
