　　Happy New Year!　May this year bring you peace and tranquility! 　Now, at the beginning of the year, I have been thinking about how I will proceed with DTM this year. CDing Beethoven's piano sonatas Last year, I CDed Beethoven's piano sonatas Nos. 30, 31, and 32.　I have been working on Beethoven's...

　Finally, I finished No. 17.　I have finally finished No. 17, with my teacher's comment, "Let's listen to it again in a while.　The structure of the three movements is well calculated, and even so, each of them is full of singular beauty.　I am sure you will be able to see where we are going in the future...

　An acquaintance of mine who runs a small publishing company sent me a copy of a book she has recently published.　The book is called "Yes, Noh Naomi Seki," and is about the life of a female Noh performer. 　What surprised me when I read it was that this woman, Naomi Seki, came to this world at the age of 34 from a completely different world...

　Well, this time the string quartet is the third movement of No. 17. I saw Beethoven's String Quartet 5th movement "Cavatina" typed last time, and I'm doing a little bit of it in between typing the Tempest.　"Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der...

　Now, finally, "Moonlight". 　The title "Moonlight" is not quite right for the first movement, but for the rest of the piece, it is far from the impression it gives.　The title "Moonlight" is not given by the maestro, so it is not surprising.　However, the first movement is so famous that everyone...

　I am currently typing Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight", and in between, I suddenly thought I would try string quartets. 　Well, "string quartet"... I have never really liked to listen to it.　However, for a long time, Beeth...

　I lived for a while on the island of Saint-Louis, Paris, about 50 years ago.　It was when the price of one franc was about 80 yen.　After dinner, I was always listening to Radio France or Antenne 2 (or was it Radio France or Antenne 2?) while wrapping up the day's work.

　In fact, there is one area where I had difficulty in typing Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathetique".　That is the treatment of the "fp" that follows the opening chord. 　Piano Sonata No. 8 was composed between 1797 and 1798, and the pia...
