Description complète

Le koto est pres de deux metres de bois de kiri avec treize cordes de soie tendues sur des chevalets mobiles, et c'est l'instrument que la plupart des gens ont entendu au Japon sans jamais le voir. Il est arrive de Chine au huitieme siecle, est devenu un instrument de cour, et a l'epoque d'Edo etait ce qu'une personne accomplie etait censee savoir jouer.

C'est une lecon privee avec une musicienne professionnelle, limitee a deux personnes, ce qui signifie que vous jouez reellement plutot que de regarder. Vous portez des mediators sur le pouce et les deux premiers doigts de la main droite et pincez les cordes ; la main gauche presse derriere les chevalets pour faire glisser la hauteur, ce qui est l'origine du son glissant caracteristique du koto et ou se trouve la difficulte.

Les fondamentaux sont ce que quatre-vingt-dix minutes vous apportent : la posture, les mediators, le mouvement de pincement, comment les chevalets mobiles accordent chaque corde individuellement, et assez d'une melodie simple pour sentir l'instrument fonctionner. C'est quelque chose de physique a etre assis derriere : le corps est grand, le son est plus puissant qu'on ne l'imagine de pres, et la resonance monte du sol.

La salle est une classe japonaise traditionnelle, en tatami et silencieuse, et le cadre fait vraiment partie de l'experience, la musique de koto a ete ecrite exactement pour ce type d'espace et sonne faiblement ailleurs.

L'instrument et tous les accessoires sont fournis. Une note pratique sur laquelle l'operateur insiste : apportez des chaussettes. Les pieds nus ne sont pas acceptes dans une salle de style japonais, et c'est le genre de detail genant a decouvrir sur place.
