　I am reviewing the Beethoven piano sonatas I have been working on to burn them to CD under the guidance of my teacher again.　This time it is No. 14, "Moonlight". 　It's a strange thing, when I re-listen to the piece I uploaded to this blog thinking it was good enough, I find that there are various...

　I have been listening again to the "Piano Sonata No. 8" that I had performed before, in order to burn it to CD. 　First of all, I would like to talk about the fp, which is indicated in the symbolic chord from the beginning of the first movement.

　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.

　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...
