　I spent until last year inputting Beethoven’s piano sonatas up to the final 32nd one..　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...

　I uploaded Bach's Goldberg Variations, Aria (piano version) to YouTube and immediately received the following two copyright infringement claims from SME (Sony Music Entertainment).　Again, I immediately filed an objection, but this time to a rather curious copyright infringement claim...

　This is a piano version of Bach's Goldberg Variations "Aria".　I have been typing for string trio and harpsichord, but finally arrived at piano.　At first, I tried to type it on piano, but it was difficult to handle polyphony...

　The original title of the Goldberg Variations is "Aria and Various Variations for Clavicembalo with 2-step keyboard".　This time, I decided to play the theme aria on harpsichord. 　Nowadays, since Glengrood, most of the arias are probably played on the piano...

　 　Beethoven's piano sonatas number up to 32 in total, and especially the later three, Nos. 30, 31, and 32, the more I listen to them, the more profound and atmospheric they are.　I happened to meet up with an old friend in Germany and decided to put together a CD of these three pieces that I had composed myself...

　I managed to type the aria from the Goldberg Variations.　I realized that a string trio is much more difficult than I had thought.　While playing, I felt that unless each soloist's sound blended well with each other, there would be no music at all...

　I am typing an aria from the Goldberg Variations as a trio of violin, viola, and cello.　I am using the score arranged by Sitkovetsky for string trio.　I have restored the slurs in the violin part, which were omitted by my teacher's suggestion...

　After having played Beethoven's piano sonatas up to this point, I feel that these three pieces from the latter half of his career are not particularly like Beethoven's works up to that time.　Compared to "Waldstein" and "Passion", which are said to be the masterpieces of the middle period, the emotional side of these three sonatas is quite different...

　As soon as I uploaded Beethoven Piano Sonata No.32 Rev2. to YouTube, the following Content ID was filed.　I guess they are searching automatically. 　Well, "Content ID complaint" means "a complaint that a copyrighted content is being used...
