Small Talk-6 Cello Sequencing
I decided to try to type the Prelude from Bach's Suite No. 2 for Unaccompanied Cello, which I am just now reviewing. Interestingly, when I was reviewing the score in detail with this intention, I began to see new sound structures that I had not paid attention to when I was simply practicing... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.26 - DTM
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... -
Beethoven Violin Sonata No.9 Mov.1 - DTM
This is the first movement of Beethoven's Violin Sonata No. 9, the so-called "Kreutzer". It was composed around the same time as the piano sonata masterpiece "Waldstein" was composed.

Small Talk-5 My instruments
This is a picture (below) of how DTM (Desktop Music) works. The display on the right is a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) screen, which corresponds to a piano keyboard and inputs the basic behavior of the notes.

Beethoven Piano Sonata No.23 "Passion" - DTM
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... -
Mozart "Unfinished" Fantasy K.397 - Digital Performance

Beethoven Piano Sonata No.28 -DTM
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... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.31 Rev.1 -Digital Performance
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... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.32 Rev.1 - DTM
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... -
Beethoven Piano Sonata No.28-2 2nd mov. - Digital Performance
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.
