I don't think black would suit the music, it's crystal light.
I agree :agree: Black version looks gorgeous but it doesn't quite suit the music and its image in my opinion.

In The Lady of the Camellias pas de deux isn´t she wearing ablack dress during the ballade No.1 part? Also Mao´s costume was black...I will be delighted if his Chopin costume would be black.

I'll bet Yuzu will sing together with the choir while performing !!![]()

Thank you, awesome collections! as for the cake, it looks delicious, such talented sisters.
And about the pendant, is called a Dreamcatcher which is a Native American’s ornament, something that decorates and is known as a sort of protection from harm (as far as I’ve heard).
Yuzu is so beautiful even from this short clip....and those girls were so happy.

I don't think Yuzuru is portraying her in his program...

This is something that I love about R&J 2.0: the fact that he was able to portray both Romeo and Juliette, the feelings of the two characters. The costume helped, of course (how I love it!), and also his slender-curvy-but-masculine body, that he was able to move accordingly. It reminds me of Johnny's legendary "The Swan" SP where he's portrayed both male and female swans.Like he wasn´t protraying Juliette in RJ2.0?![]()

This is a whole that I love about Yuzu: he's able to play both roles if he has to. Sorry, I was a bit out of topic, lol!
I'm not sure he's portraying her either in Chopin, but he definitely can. But the original costume still fits him better for this program. The dark version is gorgeous, no doubt! But I'd need to see the program if Yuzu were to change style for Chopin 2.0.
I don't think his Chopin has any connection to that ballet piece you're talking about. At all. And I love it that way. When Jeffrey Buttle spoke about the program image he had in his head- he said the music gave him an idea of how Yuzu was busy fulfilling al his obligations with Fed, going to all the events and shows and basically was torn apart in so many directions. And it fits perfectly to me. It is not a ballet piece, it's an ice fantasy to the classic peice. And it has no any little "lady" image in it. Other programs- do. Chopin- does not.Like he wasn´t protraying Juliette in RJ2.0?![]()
As a non-fan of Chopin, I think I should share a bit of mine thoughts. When I was in college, I used to dislike Chopin a lot and I call his music as feminine music. To me, Chopin is over-rated still. But to be fair for Chopin, there are many of his pieces sound very strong, manly and not like fairy music at all. To be honest, I don't think Chopin Ballade is the music for lady. The piece does not portray any lady specifically. It's absolute music, and with absolute music you have to feel, not to image it. It's the thing with Romantic era of Western music, it's all about emotions.I don't think his Chopin has any connection to that ballet piece you're talking about. At all. And I love it that way.

IIRC Chopin's ballade 1 was inspired by Adam Mickiewicz's “ Konrad Wallenrod “ , a poem about revolution , which has really nothing to do with feminine music, may be just the opposite.
"Kondrad Wallendrod" isn't about revolution... It's about a fictional medieval grand master of the Teutonic Knights who is unexpectedly reminded of his Slavic pagan origins, does a bazillion verses of soul searching and monologuing on loyalty and decides to betray the Order (Teutonic Knights are always the Big Bad in Polish literature) and then commits suicide. The poem was significant for a later real-life uprising though. (Oh look ma, I remember something from the required reading from high school!) Kondrad Wallenrod is an epitome of a "torn" character, so the music, starting slow than getting turbulent up to the stormy finale depicts the story really well.
Thank you for your replay Moria!
Recently I read a Chopin's biograpy and it mentioned “Konrad Wallenrod” as an epic poem that reflects revolutionary ideals of Mickiewicz and his disdain for Czar tyranny. I discoreved that the poet himself set up a Polish Legion in my country to help the italian army in 1848...
lots of very different subjects connected to Yuzu someway !!!![]()

The biography was not wrong, lots of Polish poems of the era presented political ideas in guise of historical epics and "Konrad Wallenrod" turned out to be so influential and the less noble ideas ("patriotic treason") were given so much attention that Mickiewicz wished he had never published it.
But yea, I love the Yuzu thread because there's so many people of different nations here that you can learn lots of things (prices of tuna anyone?), even about your own country. Like, I didn't actually know that my country's premier composer wrote a music piece for a work by my country's premier poet...![]()
