Rregret to Mrs. Yoshiko Kawamura

河村義子先生への弔辞（改定）　英訳

        At the funeral of the Mrs. Yoshiko Kawamura on December 27, 2018, Mr. Shigekatsu Tanaka, Executive Secretary of the "Enjoying First-Class Music in the World association", gave a regret. I had heard this for the first time. I had known the greatness of Mrs. Yoshiko Kawamura's activities.

 

Achievement

        Mrs. Yoshiko Kawamura had a close relationship with the German Stuttgart Strings Sextet, Dresden trio, and cellist TIMM, and was bridged by music between Ogaki and Stuttgart. Yoshiko-sensei had contributed to the promotion of Ogaki culture at the world level.

        Yoshiko-sensei, who reproduced on the stage of "Rokudan　in WINE" by Mrs. Maru Kiwako Toda, taught us the history of Ogaki-Vienna's music exchange. That's why I was able to visit the Vienna Musikverein and pay a courtesy visit to Dr. OTTO BIBA , the director of the Vienna Musikverein who visited Ogaki 30 years ago.

        Yoshiko-sensei had pioneered Ogaki's musical culture through music activities such as “the Kanadenowa contest”, “Kotone” and , "Enjoying First-Class Music in the World association", in-housing contact concerts, and nursery concerts. Yoshiko-sensei had built many music heritage sites in Ogaki and had raised her successors.

 

 

A turn of fate

　　When Yoshiko found a lesion five years ago and found that she could not live as a pianist after surgery, she stopped the surgery and chose the course of treatment for coping therapy and decided to live as a pianist until the end of her life.

　　It is also a turn of fate, I had met her as a piano teacher at the same time. She didn't notice it around, didn't emit a loud sound, and I have awe of her. As I thought, I was suggesting from her words in many scenes, but I was not aware of it.

　　Since I got along with Yoshiko-sensei, I had met many good friends. I am more than grateful to see the good relationship with Yoshiko-Sensei rather than the sadness of parting. If there is a encounter, there is a parting, this world's impossibility. The better you meet, the more sad you are.

 

Summary

　　Mrs.Kawamura Yoshiko, discipline name " Holy watch temple teach music righteousness love sister", means to watch over his disciples with a Kannon-like eye, teach music and dedicate to love for Righteousness. Yoshiko-sensei was a warm person who made one stay in the rain during the hard times in life. This name is a wonderful name that summarizes Yoshiko-sensei's life. I pray for the well-being of Mrs. Yoshiko Kawamura. Conspiracy.

 

 Below is Mr. Shigekatsu Tanaka's Regret

 

Regret

 

Yoshiko-sensei

I am very sad. I have to say sad farewell words.

Yoshiko-sensei had loved the music hall of the Ogaki City Suitopia Center.

　　When I was the Executive Director of the Ogaki Culture Corps, I asked for support as a music expert, and I was happy to be an advisor for he Ogaki Culture Corps.

 

　　I agree with the desire that the piano always resonates with Suitopia Center, and when I go to purchase a piano that can be used in the lobby to Hamamatsu, Yoshiko-sensei choose the piano. She said that he is wanting to come to Ogaki.

 

　　Also, when we overhauled the culture hall and the Steinway & Sons piano in the music hall, I was thinking about giving away to everyone the hammer of the piano played by many people. At Ogaki Municipal Hospital, we asked you to purchase the piano at the lobby concert together. All the pianos were selected by Yoshiko-sensei.

 

　　Yoshiko-sensei had been continuing nursery school concert for the children as one of the activities of Kasumi-kai. When we decided to work on such a project to give children a dream as a cultural gift, Yoshiko-sensei had added a program to train students to the next leader.

 

　　Furthermore, I also had asked Yoshiko-sensei Christmas concerts at the music hall and the cultural hall, for the sake of classical music to children. Moreover, it was a first time, accompanied by foods and drinks that I had never been to.

　　They listened to music, ate sweets, enjoyed only juice, and also enjoyed music and the valley. In the culture hall, we decided to enjoy caramel popcorn in the lobby, so the whole lobby was surrounded by the smell of caramel and the cheers of children. Yoshiko-sensei had told this many times as pleasant memory that such a thing was able to be done.

 

　　In these activities to bring up children, Yoshiko-sensei had started up “Kotone(child and sound)”, developed into “Kotone kids”, and they were bridged to the next generation.

 

　　After I resigned as Executive Director of he Ogaki Culture Corps, Yoshiko-sensei wants children enjoying the world's top music. For this response, we had been helding the conncrets, Ashinaga concert. After this concert, the collection of impressions of the concert was filled with the excitement of the children, and we were delighted to be with you.

 

　　At the second concert of this year, Yoshiko-sensei was forced to be hospitalized due to her illness on the way, and on the day before the operation she was forced to create a program in a difficult time. Besides, she was not able to listen to the concert. However, when she received the review from children, she was really happy and I was just hapy too.

 

　　The other day, when I went to the hospital room, Yoshiko-sensei told with a bright eye about the third concert scheduled in September next year. As a performer, I received an e-mail immediately after saying that I had a letter asking President Sawa of Tokyo Art university to promote it.

　　But for this Henschel reply, Yoshiko-sensei cried ”I can not keep my life until November!”.by an e-mail to me.

 

 

I'm surprised at your death too early.

Yoshiko-sensei was raising people through music.

 　　What kind of tone is it in now? Are you listening to Brahms and the Rokudan in Wine?

 　　A great tone is engraved in the mind of many students, and the power to live with music must grow. Music is a source of heart.

Please keep an eye on the growing students.

Thank you very much Yoshiko-sensei!
