Theme: Fujiko Hemming

Musicians who have left great music have also left great words. A nice interpretation of the subject. Words to live by, even if you have to use them forcefully in your daily life.

What is our topic today?

Name:

Fuziko Hemming

Quotation:

No matter how well-educated and respectable people are If they have had no heartaches, they are unattractive.
Because they do not understand the pain of others.

I saw a documentary on pianist Fujiko Hemming in 1999. In the world of classical music with its gorgeous image, she spent half of her life fighting poverty and illness. She is so empathetic to the bottom of her soul. Of course she is strong and does not show her weaknesses at all. From an early age she wanted her genius name in numerous competitions, but she missed opportunities, and lost her hearing on the stage. But she seemed to feed on such setbacks. The image of classical music is that it is elegant and gorgeous, wearing beautiful costumes, but what was projected there was everything beyond my common sense, such as playing while smoking a cigarette without getting dressed up. It felt off. However, her words have always been very persuasive. "It's okay to make mistakes. You’re not a machine." On the other hand, she also says "I just think about one thing so that I don't make mistakes during the performance" and then go on to say "The piano? It's a tool for my cats to climb on for meals." Everything seemed to represent her way of life. After the documentary, I felt "I want to hear her play piano!", she released the CD "Miracle Campanella" after the TV broadcast, and it became an exceptional hit in the classical world selling 300,000 copies in just a few months.

So, Ms. Fuziko's words. Every time there is a problem of bullying or abuse, TV critics say that it takes imagination to become a person who understands the pain of others. As you can imagine, it's hard to understand until you're in that position, but even then the reality is that it's quite difficult. Although the guarantee is said to be feeding cats, Fuziko donates a part of the proceeds to disadvantaged children and welfare facilities. She is not pessimistic about her past (though she may not think so) and she strives to entrust herself to the future. Everyone may have a wound in their heart. What a wonderful thing if we could convert it to something positive. An imagination that allows you to think of the pain of others as your own wounds would be invincible. An attractive person may be made up of such material. That is why the music she plays has a strong power and will strike the hearts of listeners.

I like this! One cushion!
