“The works of Chopin are very important to us pianists,” Fujita tells Apple Music Classical. “But the Polonaise No. 6, Op. 53 is particularly famous.” However, it’s a piece that he has never recorded before. “I wanted a new challenge,” he reveals, “and I chose it because I wanted to showcase my own ideas about this music, including decisions of where to take pauses and how to play the rhythms. It’s a piece that evokes beautiful imagery.” The second piece in Fujita’s Classical Session is Ichiro Nodaira’s <i>At the Ball (Au bal)</i>, recorded here for the first time. Fujita first encountered this short piece when he was asked to perform it in a competition at the age of seven or eight. But it was only recently that he encountered the score again. “It had such sublime harmony that I immediately fell in love with it,” he explains. For Fujita, Nodaira’s piece makes the perfect companion piece for the Polonaise. “Chopin’s piano works were mainly performed in salons, and I realised that <i>At the Ball</i> was reminiscent of many of those salon pieces. Everything about it is so pure, and so beautiful.”
