　Finally, I finished No. 17.　I have finally finished No. 17, with my teacher's comment, "Let's listen to it again in a while.　The structure of the three movements is well calculated, and even so, each of them is full of singular beauty.　I am sure you will be able to see where we are going in the future...

　Well, this time the string quartet is the third movement of No. 17. I saw Beethoven's String Quartet 5th movement "Cavatina" typed last time, and I'm doing a little bit of it in between typing the Tempest.　"Heiliger Dankgesang eines Genesenen an die Gottheit, in der...

　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.

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

　By last year, I had worked my way through Beethoven's piano sonatas up to the last 32.　And from this year, I decided to work on No. 8 and No. 14, which I had not played before.　I started with No. 8, "Pathetique.　It seems to have been written when he was less than 30 years old, and it was in his later years....

　Last October, my teacher gave a recital at Mitaka Performing Arts Center Kaze no Hall, where he performed the complete Goldberg Variations.　It was quite a wonderful performance, so I thought it would be nice to share it with you. https://youtu.b...
