Small Talk-11 Happy Birthday by Beethoven
Listen to it first in the Audio Player at the bottom. A German friend of mine who I worked with for a long time is turning 70. He asked me to send him a short message video to be played at his party. I typed this Beetho for the background music... -
Small Talk-10 Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 29
I asked the teacher to listen to the audio file of all the movements of No. 29 that I had typed. The teacher commented, "As for the order in which to begin, I think it is best to go in the order of difficulty in embodying the structure of the piece: third, fourth, first, and second. The third movement is the most difficult. And if you can't do that, the 3rd... -
Small Talk-9 Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 3
I am currently working on Beethoven's Cello Sonata No. 3. Since I have already typed Kreutzer, I decided to work on a cello version of Kreutzer's Sonata No. 3. This piece is said to be a revolutionary cello sonata. Kreutzer is a bi... -
Small Talk - 8 Copyright Strike on YouTube
A copyright infringement warning was issued for Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 21, which I posted on YouTube earlier. (see below) This is the third time. Each time, I have filed an objection and had the warning lifted. This time, too, the warning was issued on the grounds that the music was "typed by midi editor using a DAW... -
Small Talk-7 Again Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 29
I have finished checking the midi files for all the movements of "Hammerklavier," which I have newly started working on. I'm almost done with correcting the mis-touches and the sound movement, so now it's time to start working on the music. While checking the notes one by one, I thought... -
Small Talk-6 Cello Sequencing
I decided to try to type the Prelude from Bach's Suite No. 2 for Unaccompanied Cello, which I am just now reviewing. Interestingly, when I was reviewing the score in detail with this intention, I began to see new sound structures that I had not paid attention to when I was simply practicing... -
Small Talk-5 My instruments
This is a picture (below) of how DTM (Desktop Music) works. The display on the right is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) screen, which corresponds to a piano keyboard and inputs the basic behavior of the notes. The left display shows the sound quality of the various sound sources (piano, strings, etc.)... -
Small Talk-4 "Henle Library"
When I started typing Beethoven's piano sonatas, I downloaded the scores from IMSLP, a free download site, and printed them out for use. However, there were occasional discrepancies between my scores and my teacher's comments. In the course of our correspondence, I learned that it was the score I was using... -
Small Talk-3 Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 29
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... -
Small Talk-2 Beethoven's Piano Sonatas
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...
