Mozart "Unfinished" Fantasy K.397
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
How about Mozart? My teacher recommended it, so I transcribed the Fantasy in D minor, K. 397. This short piece is a famous work often played at concerts, but it's actually also famous for being "unfinished." Mozart had envisioned a much larger work... -
Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 29
Creation Notes
I've started studying to see if it's time to go for No. 29 ("Hammerklavier"). I have been reading various literature little by little, and I have come to realize that it is extremely difficult even for pianists. It seems that even professionals have a hard time with this piece. Therefore, I am wondering if there are any con... -
Beethoven's Piano Sonatas
Creation Notes
When I type in my own way or listen repeatedly to the pieces from around No. 28 to the last period, No. 32, I find them differently appealing compared to the earlier pieces. There are certainly some great songs before that time, and I can feel the talent emanating from them. But apparently, for me now, they all seem to be... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.28
Piano Sonata
Finally, we got to the point where number 28 was "just fine". This time it took me more than 7 months. The recital was postponed for a year due to the Corona earthquake, so I was able to take my time and have a lot of lessons during that time. Next... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.31 (Revised 1)
Piano Sonata
I reviewed the areas of concern in #31. The main points are the correction of the legato part and the dina mique. I think the most important point is whether the third movement is well drawn or not. It's the interaction between the two "Klagender Gesang" and the fugue... -
To listen to good sound quality on a PC
DTM Insight
Computers have internal circuits that convert digital signals into analog signals for output (DA conversion). Normally, you listen to the audio converted by this circuit through the built-in speakers or earphones/headphones. Therefore, differences in sound quality stem from that circuit and the built-in speakers... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.32 (Revised 1)
Piano Sonata
I made some changes to #32, which had been bothering me for some time. The focus this time was on the balance of volume and minor corrections to tempo articulation. The following is a comment I received from a teacher who was giving me lessons through audio files. For example, I would have... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.28 2nd mov.
Piano Sonata
I’ve sequenced the second movement. I’ve finally made it this far, but there’s still a long way to go! The real challenge will be the third movement. Still, it amazes me how Beethoven was able to compose such a magnificent piece despite having completely lost his hearing. I can’t begin to imagine what was going on in his mind. -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.28 1st mov.
Piano Sonata
I am currently working on number 28. It is said to be one of the most difficult of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. It was difficult to get a "well, okay" and I finally uploaded the first movement. This piece is also going to take much longer. ... -
Schubert 4 Impromptus D.935, Op.142-1
Franz Schubert
How about Schubert? My teacher recommended that I type D.935, Op.142-1 from 4Impromptus. I listened to several pianists play it while following the score. But it took me quite a while to get to the point where I thought, "I would like to play this...
