　I've finally finished inputting No. 17 "Tempest", with my musical advisor's comment, "Let's listen to it again in a while".　The composition of the three movements is well calculated, and even so, each of them is full of unique beauty.

　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...

　Now, the topic of this issue is about the third movement of Beethoven's String Quartet.　Last time I typed Beethoven's String Quartet 5th movement "Cavatina", and I am currently typing the 3rd movement of No. 15 in between typing the Tempest.　Beeth...

　I've been playing 17 "Tempest" for a while now. I have never tried it before, and this is my "first" attempt at all.　It is a very famous song (Moonlight, Tempest, etc.), and I have been a bit hesitant to play it.　But I've tried to type it up to number 32, and now...

　The cabatina was finally finished.　The maestro's playing instructions were quite detailed and it was difficult to balance each string.　Especially, I heard that it is Beethoven's 18th piece, and there are several instructions of cresc.+p. Normally, when you cresc. the next volume should be stronger....　Normally, when you cresc., the next volume should be stronger...

　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 inputting 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 execution of "fp" that follows the opening chord. 　Piano Sonata No. 8 was composed between 1797 and 1798, and the pia...

Over the past year, I've transcribed all of Beethoven's piano sonatas up to the final 32nd. And starting this year, I've decided to tackle the 8th and 14th, which I hadn't transcribed yet. First up is the 8th, "Pathétique." It seems he composed it before reaching the age of 30, while his later years...
