Music interpretation

‘Sakura’ means cherry blossoms. Cherry Blossoms is the national flower of Japan. In Spring, Japanese people feel excited to see the cherry blossoms. However, the period of the bloom is very short. So Japanese people enjoy the brilliance of cherry blossoms and the fragile beauty of falling petals. This folk song is said to have been composed for an etude of koto (a long Japanese zither with thirteen strings) in the Edo period.

How to play this Sakura Sakura Piano Arrangement

You should play the tune with legato to express elegance and fragility of cherry blossoms. And at the last part of the music, play arpeggios melodiously as if the petals of cherry blossoms were dancing.
