　No. 23, also known as "Passion".　It is said to be one of Beethoven's masterpieces of the middle period of his piano sonatas.　The range of the piano is much wider (68 keys made by Erard), and the effect of the piano is said to have been used very well in the composition.　However, the octave "Do" in the third movement 310, bar 312, and the third...

　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’ve sequenced the second movement. I’ve finally made it this far, but there’s still a long way to go! The real challenge will be the third movement. Still, it amazes me how Beethoven was able to compose such a magnificent piece despite having completely lost his hearing. I can’t begin to imagine what was going on in his mind.

　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 number 31.　It took me a long time to reach the end of this piece as well.　As a result, I have a thick notebook of lesson notes with the teacher's comments.　It is truly a treasure for me.　Now, let's listen to "Klagen...

　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...
