In July 2017, Genzoh Takehisa performed "Confrontation with the Fortepiano Chapter 3: Afar, from Father". Osaka University Hall hosted the recital as one of the serial concert activities of OCCA/One-coin Concert for ALL. The concert moved uninterrupted through the eras of J.S.Bach, J.C.Bach and eventually to W.A.Mozart. We set-up two replica fortepianos on the stage: a fortepiano manufactured by Gottfried Silbermann that J.S.Bach used in his later years and a Walter fortepiano used at a later time in Mozart’s era.

The replicated Silberman piano was first manufactured by Mr. Kenta Fukamachi, a period keyboard maker, based upon a detailed and faithful blueprint of the original Silberman piano from Bach’s era. Mr. Genzoh Takehisa, a renowned Japanese keyboard player, noticed its enormous potential owing to Mr. Kenta Fukamachi’s virtuosic craftmanship, he started renovating the piano himself. The reasons for his renovation are summarized below. This captivating story can be found at URL: https://sites.google.com/site/concert...

-Missing information: the fatal limitation of the blueprint
-His ears: the powerful strategy for the renovation with no information available
-The renovation: fulfillment of the real musical demands of J.S. Bach or something else?
-The process: deepening the understanding of J.S. Bach

After the whole program was played, Mr. Genzoh Takehisa started playing "Strange & Charm" as an en core. This piece is his own composition prepared for this day. Guess what strange and what charm mean!
