Over the past year, I've transcribed all of Beethoven's piano sonatas up to the final 32nd. And starting this year, I've decided to tackle the 8th and 14th, which I hadn't transcribed yet. First up is the 8th, "Pathétique." It seems he composed it before reaching the age of 30, while his later years...

　Beethoven's piano sonatas number up to 32 in total, but 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...

　It took me a long time, but I was finally able to review Beethoven's last piano sonata No. 32. 　I got into this world to try Beethoven's piano sonata with DTM, but I couldn't create the sound as I wanted due to technical difficulties...　Furthermore...

　We have reviewed Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 31.　　Among the 32 piano sonatas, I think many people like this No. 31.　It is also often featured in concerts.　But it is quite a difficult piece........

　I reviewed Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30. 　It took me a long time, mostly because I had a hard time processing the polyphony and properly expressing Beethoven's instructions given in the score. 　First of all, polyphony... I studied counterpoint and...

　The "Hammerklavier", which is considered the greatest of all piano pieces in the world, was finally "well okay".　It took almost 7 months.　I think the only other time it took this long was when I started typing in midi.　Anyway, it took more than 40 minutes...

I revisited Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 21, "Waldstein." When I transcribed it before, my teacher said it was high fidelity. That's right. I did feel it lacked a bit of human warmth... This time, relying on my teacher's strict comments, I...

I revisited my previous recording of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 23, "Appassionata." The level of feedback from my instructor has significantly increased compared to before—covering aspects like the volume balance between movements, the balance between right and left hands, adjustments to subtle nuances, and corrections for mistakes.

　This is Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 26, "Farewell." 　This piece is related to the battle of 1809 between the French army led by Napoleon and the Austrians.　The three movements are unusually titled by Beethoven himself: the first movement, "Das Lebewohl" (Farewell), the second movement, "Die Abwes...

　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...
