Volume 1 Since many readers have not heard the songs in this book, I would like to briefly introduce them here. However, the track introduction breaks a lot of plot points. It is recommended that you turn over the track name when you see it in the story and compare it - but this is very troublesome, sorry. ●Little Star Variations by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart This piece reminded Xiao Nao of Mafuyu’s identity after hearing it at the station. Well... the melody at the beginning of this piece is the famous song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that everyone knows, composed of twelve variations composed by Mozart. It may often be misunderstood, but the piece "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" itself was not written by Mozart. Although the melody in the first few sections sounds very simple, the difficulty increases greatly after the eighth section changes to the key of C minor. This piece is full of elegant Mozart-style decorative variations (the melody form has not changed much), and it should be a very suitable introduction to piano variations. By the way, some railway fans may specify the location as Tsuchiura Station on the JR Joban Line (Note: the East Japan Railway main line connecting Tokyo to Miyagi Prefecture) because of the departure music. In fact, I didn’t think so at all. many. Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 in C-sharp minor Franz Liszt Xiao Nao first heard the song when Mafuyu was playing guitar in an empty classroom. Pianist master Liszt composed nineteen piano solos based on folk songs from his native Hungary and collected them into a volume. This song is the second and most famous one - to be honest, I have only heard this one. There is also a legend that those songs were actually Gypsy ballads, but Liszt mistakenly thought they were Hungarian ballads. So should it be renamed Gypsy Rhapsody? In fact, all I have heard is the piano version. Is there anyone who can play it for me on guitar? ●Etude No. 12 in C minor "Revolution" by Frédéric-Fran?ois Chopin This is the song that Xiao Nao asked Mafuyu to listen to with headphones. It is said that the title of the song "Revolution" comes from the fact that Chopin's homeland, Poland, was invaded by the Russian Empire and the people were filled with grief and indignation. As the name suggests, this song is like a strong storm, ending in one fell swoop. But this piece seems to be relatively simple among Chopin’s etudes, right? This is pretty simple... ●Piano Sonata No. 2 in B flat minor "Funeral March" by Frédéric-Fran?ois Chopin The song Mafuyu played after she kicked Nao out of the empty classroom. Speaking of the third movement of this sonata - it should be the most famous funeral march in the world, right? The melody at the beginning is often the GAME OVER music often heard in large game consoles in the past, and the melody in the middle is also quite beautiful. Chopin composed mostly piano music, and he was indeed an excellent composer. Unfortunately, he only wrote three piano sonatas. Maybe it's because he is better at writing short pieces, or maybe it's because the great predecessors have already written too many piano sonatas? Having said that, this "Funeral March" comes from the second of the three piano sonatas, and it is also a tribute to Beethoven's "Funeral March". ●Piano Sonata No. 12 in A flat major "Funeral March" The song played by Ludwig van Beethoven Mafuyu after he kicked Xiaozhen (along with the CD) out of the empty classroom again. It is also the last song of the third movement. famous. It is said that Chopin liked this piece very much. The aforementioned sonata is a tribute to this piece, and the two sonatas also have some similarities in structure. I am particularly fond of Beethoven's Sonata in A flat major, and this "Funeral March" is also one of them. But I still prefer other movements (the first movement is my favorite). ●Roll over Beethoven. The song that Xiao Zhi listened to in class when Chuck Berry was released along with the CD is probably known as the Beatles now. The cover version of Four is the most famous, right? It has also been covered by bands such as ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) into other exaggerated versions. Although Chuck Berry is still alive today, it is not an exaggeration to call him the "God of Rock and Roll". The songs he composed have had a great influence on later generations of rock teenagers. Because they are so often covered, there is often a phenomenon of "turning from legend to myth" such as "I don't know the original singer is Chuck Berry". This song The song is one of them. ●Kashmir Led Zeppelin This is the song that Xiao Nao played for the first time with his seniors and Chiaki. The bass part sounds simple, right? This is my favorite Led Zeppelin song. Oh no, actually my favorite is Stairway to Heaven, but I felt embarrassed to say it publicly (but I ended up saying it anyway), so I publicly declared that my favorite song is Kashmir. ●Peacock Dance of the Dead Princess by Maurice Ravel Xiao Zhi heard the music coming from downstairs on the roof. It is said that Ravel originally wrote it as a piano performance. Later, the more he listened to it, the more he liked it, so he rearranged it into an orchestral performance. It turns out that the orchestral version seems to be more famous? I heard there were various other arrangements, but I was lucky enough to find the guitar version. ●Revolution John Lennon & Paul McCartney The song played by Kagurazaka-senpai on the roof is included on the B-side of the Beatles' best-selling single "Hey Jude".

The version mentioned in the book is the faster version included in the single. The version later included in the White Album (note: THE BEATLES) is called the original version, but the tempo is slower. Not enough. Some people may prefer the original version in the album, and there are also legends that John Lennon himself wanted to include this version in the single, but I think the decision of the single producer at the time was the right one. ●Stand By MeBen E. King The first song he played when he was practicing bass, it became an instant hit with the movie of the same name adapted from Stephen King's original work. This song is an eternal classic. I don’t think anyone has heard it, right? Having said that, Stephen. King's original novel is called "THE BODY"! However, it is also well known that when Stephen King's non-horror short stories are adapted into movies, the titles will be very beautiful, such as "The Shawshank Redemption". By the way, the only bass song I can play is this "Stand by Me" ●The first piece of Paganini's Etudes, Franz Liszt, Konao, Chiaki and her senior are fighting on the roof. The music coming from downstairs during the meeting. The collection of music published by Li Sifu was originally called "Paganini's Etudes of Excellent Techniques". Because it contains many very difficult pieces, it is also known as Liszt's most difficult piano music. . I don’t know if the author himself reflected on it, but the second version of "Paganini Etude" was a little simpler because the third piece "La Campanetta" is so famous that it seems to be nothing. The first time I heard it, it seemed that no one knew how to play it. ●The Heroic Variations were played by Ludwig van Beethoven and Mafuyu. Because each variation is separate, it is not difficult to imagine that Nao was playing it. Which section is particularly difficult to play? The theme of this variation was deeply loved by Beethoven himself. He used it four times in his life: the first time in the "Twelve Antiphons" written for orchestra. The seventh piece is a piece that is rarely performed today. The second time it is used in the finale of the ballet "The Creation of Prometheus", the third time it appears in this piano variation, and the last time it is used in it. The last movement of Symphony No. 3 "Eroica". Because this last symphony was so famous, the previously composed piano variations were also named "Eroica". ●Olivia May Tori. The song played by Xiang Zhelang in the living room. Mei Xiang is a modern French composer. This song "Bird Song" is one of his representative works. It is also an experimental work composed of the melody of birdsong and played on the piano. Layla: The song Xiao Zhi was listening to before Eric Clapton Mafuyu climbed in through the window was probably the most popular song by Derek & the Dominos, a band formed by Eric Clapton. A very long guitar solo, and the piano melody suddenly changes the key in the second half of the song. This part is so cool that it makes you want to cry. ●"Experimentation in Harmony and Creativity" Violin Concerto No. 1 by Antonio Way. The tune played by the truck that collects waste is Vivaldi's most famous melody - "Spring" from the "Four Seasons" violin concerto. For me, it is the music of the primary school assembly. I am asking for comrades who have also listened to this song during the primary school assembly. ●Hey Jude. It is a song that Xiao Zhi sang casually when John Lennon and Paul McCartney were hiking. Needless to say, everyone knows that this is the most popular song of the Beatles. song, but not many people may know that it is the third longest song they have released publicly. It is said that John Lennon's first son Julian did not have a good relationship with him, but was closer to Paul McCartney. , and this song was written by Paul McCartney to encourage such Julian. ●The first piece in the Well-Tempered Collection, Volume 1, in C major, which Johann Sebastian Bach played in a garbage dump by Mafuyu, was likened by the famous conductor Hans von Bulow to "piano music." "Old Testament" is also the first piece in Bach's Well-Tempered Music Collection. The prelude, which is composed entirely of harmony, is very famous in itself. The famous French opera composer Charles Frabcois Gounod also used this melody as the accompaniment of the Ave Maria. ?●Black bird　John Lennon & Paul McCartney The song played by Xiao Zhi in the garbage dump at dawn. The Beatles' White Album contains many songs that are said to be "written and recorded by someone alone", and this song is the ultimate one. ●Piano Sonata No. 26 in E flat major "Farewell" A piece sent by Ludwig van Beethoven from Mafuyu. I personally particularly like the third movement of this piece. This piece of music was born suddenly when Beethoven was just entering his later years, when he was writing almost zero piano sonatas. The first and third movements were both written in a very frank and regular sonata form. In Beethoven's period, The work appears to be very special. ●Piano Concerto in D Major Maurice Ravel Finally, let me introduce the music Mafuyu played at the beginning of the story. The origin of the song has been explained in the text, so I will only briefly introduce it here.

In addition to Ravel, many others have written piano concertos in the same form, but this one is still the most famous.
