Prospectus
Do you refrain from playing the piano due to a disability?
The 4th Washington D.C. UNHEARD NOTES Piano para in U.S.A. 2018 is an international piano music festival for pianists who have overcome great challenge. We are encouraging all pianists with a disability to communicate that challenge themselves to express their musical .feelings through the piano and share the enjoyment of making music with the audience. It shall not be forgotten that Ludwig van Beethoven who became deaf has left us a great inheritance of his music. The career of one of the greatest pianist Paul Wttgenstein who had lost his right hand in World War １,was reborn as the "Pianist of the Left Hand ",and remains as one of the greatest pianist in the history of music. The famous Japanese Koto Player (Koto is a traditional Japanese string. instrument). Michio Miyagi, who had a visual disability, is well known for having laid the foundations of this Japanese instrument and has given the roots to Japanese traditional music.Beautiful and heartfelt music can be produced by a sensitive and keen artist even with a hearing impairment, a pianist with one hand, or a pianist who creates music with just a single finger. We would like to welcome all and establish a world-wide piano music festival filed with new ideas to overcome the impossibilities. Let us say that the possibilities of the human ability are unlimited.The real purpose is not to compete for superiority but to encourage, appreciate and praise special skills through music and to bring awareness of such achievements to the general public. Through this kind of international exchange we also believe that we can contribute to World Peace.
Purpose
1. To increase knowledge of the disabilities around us.
2. To learn, encourage the possibilities and exchange information about each disability.
