　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...

　I made some changes to #32, which had been bothering me for some time.　　The focus this time was on the balance of volume and minor corrections to tempo articulation.　The following is a comment I received from a teacher who was giving me lessons through audio files. 　For example, I would have...

　 I typed the second movement.　I finally got to this point.　Long way to go!　The problem will be the next third movement.　But even though I have already lost all hearing, I can still draw such a wonderful piece of music... I wonder what kind of mind is in my head.

　I am currently working on number 28.　It is said to be one of the most difficult of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas.　It was difficult to get a "well, okay" and I finally uploaded the first movement.　This piece is also going to take much longer.　...

　No. 24, also known as "Therese".　It is a beautiful little piece in two movements.　I guess the four bars at the beginning are the most important.　It took me a long time to type this part.　I couldn't get "Well, it's OK" out. 　　　Title: Piano Sonata No.24 in ...

　No. 25, also known as "Kakko".　It has three movements, and like No. 24, it is a beautiful little piece that brings to mind a somewhat relaxing countryside scene.　My teacher commented that I should pay attention to the notation "alla tedesca" at the beginning.　I'm not sure I understand...

　Then listen to No. 31.　It took me a long time to get to the Finale of this piece as well.　As a result, I have a thick notebook of lesson notes with my teacher's comments.　It is truly a treasure for me.　Now, let's listen to "Klagender Gesa...

　This time, I would like to introduce Piano Sonata No.21 in C major, Op.53.　This is the famous "Waldstein".　I think there are many people who like to listen to this piano sonata among Beethoven's piano sonatas.　There are various famous recordings of this piece.　However, I would like to introduce you to the "Waldstein" not from the viewpoint of listening, but from the viewpoint of playing...

　　Next is No. 30 of the last three pieces.　Although I have gotten used to the piano hammering in the previous number 32, I am puzzled each time by the teacher's advanced comment that I should think carefully about "why this note is necessary here and what Beethoven intended to place it..."
