　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...

　This is Elgar's Cello Concerto, first movement.　It is a very impressive piece with the cello in the leading role, and is one of the most famous cello concertos.　Both of them are dead now, but Dupré's passionate performance under Barbirolli's direction popularized this piece. 　This time, a full-fledged concerto...

Saint-Saëns' "The Swan." It's the 13th movement from the suite "The Carnival of the Animals." I imagine this piece inspired many people to start playing the cello. It's an absolutely legendary masterpiece you just want to play right away. ...That said, it's surprisingly difficult, and at first, the opening...

　I have been studying the cello sound source "SWAM-S" which I recently acquired.　I have chosen a subject from a selection of cello pieces, the first of which is Fauré's "After a Dream".　Originally the first piece of the song "Three Songs Op. 7", it is a beautiful piece often played by cellos and other stringed instruments.　In the middle of the...

It took quite a while, but I finally managed to finish the piece I'd long wanted to play. Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata is a profoundly beautiful piece that I sometimes feel an overwhelming urge to hear. Though it was originally written for the now-obsolete six-string arpeggione, playing it on a four-string cello...

　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...

　This is Albinoni's Adagio.　It is truly one of the most crisp and beautiful masterpieces of Baroque music.　But it really seems to be composed by Raymond Diazotto.　The first edition was published in 1958, so it was not really Baroque music of about 300 years ago....　...

　This song also took a lot of time to type.　It took less than 30 minutes to create the sound of the cello and the piano when they were played together, so I guess that's about right for a piece that takes less than 30 minutes.　 　The most difficult part was the second movement, the scherzo.　It is in three beats, but I had to tie the third beat to the first beat of the next...

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.
