　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 ...

　　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..."

　First, listen to the last piece, No. 32, from the last three piano sonatas.　Until now, I had been popping in small pieces to study MIDI.　However, a former colleague of mine, a pianist, was going to play this as the main piece in a recital, so I recklessly decided to play this piece's...
