Japanese pianist Mr. Nobuyuki Tsujii composed and played this elegy for the victims of the earthquake and tsunami back in 2014. It was so heartbreaking and very touching. I played this piece by myself for the victims of COVID-19 in the world since 2019.

【学习心得】
克莱德曼这首钢琴曲非常受人欢迎,这次趁活动的机会我也凑热闹学一学。实际上这首乐曲对我的难点就是那几小节,手指需要稍快一些,其余的就是简单的和弦琶音并没有啥难度。没有什么特殊办法,对于那几小节就是理顺指法,慢练再慢练。还有一个就是这几小节的速度要做到跟乐曲别的部分要一致。
【Learning experience】
Clayderman's piano piece is very popular, and this time I took the opportunity of the event to join in the fun and learn it. In fact, the difficulty of this piece for me is a few measures where the fingers need to be a little faster, and the rest are simple chord arpeggios and there are no difficulties. There is no special method, just straighten out the fingering for those few measures, practice slowly and then gradually increased the speed. Another reminder is that the speed of these measures should be consistent with other parts of the music.
