Notes on how I'm progressing with DTM. The right display is the DAW (piano roll) for inputting performance data. The left display adjusts the sound quality of each instrument, like piano or strings. The iPad Pro displays sheet music and notes. I check with headphones while working leisurely with the mouse instead of a keyboard...

　No. 23, also known as "Passion".　It is said to be one of Beethoven's masterpieces of the middle period of his piano sonatas.　The range of the piano is much wider (68 keys made by Erard), and the effect of the piano is said to have been used very well in the composition.　However, the octave "Do" in the third movement 310, bar 312, and the third...

　　Happy New Year!　I wish you a peaceful new year! I've been thinking about what pieces I'm going to play this year: 1. Beethoven's piano sonatas - newly composed No. 23 "Passion", No. 26 (Farewell), and my longed-for No. 29 "Han...

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...

　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...

　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...

　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...

　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...

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...
