　I've been playing 17 "Tempest" for a while now. I have never tried it before, and this is my "first" attempt at all.　It is a very famous song (Moonlight, Tempest, etc.), and I have been a bit hesitant to play it.　But I've tried to type it up to number 32, and now...

　The cabatina was finally finished.　The maestro's playing instructions were quite detailed and it was difficult to balance each string.　Especially, I heard that it is Beethoven's 18th piece, and there are several instructions of cresc.+p. Normally, when you cresc. the next volume should be stronger....　Normally, when you cresc., the next volume should be stronger...

　Now, finally, "Moonlight". 　The title "Moonlight" is not quite right for the first movement, but for the rest of the piece, it is far from the impression it gives.　The title "Moonlight" is not given by the maestro, so it is not surprising.　However, the first movement is so famous that everyone...

　I am currently inputting Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14 "Moonlight", and in between, I suddenly thought I would try string quartets. 　Well, "string quartet"... I have never really liked to listen to it.　However, for a long time, Beeth...

　I lived for a while on the island of Saint-Louis, Paris, about 50 years ago.　It was when the price of one franc was about 80 yen.　After dinner, I was always listening to Radio France or Antenne 2 (or was it Radio France or Antenne 2?) while wrapping up the day's work.

　Last October, my teacher gave a recital at Mitaka Performing Arts Center Kaze no Hall, where he performed the complete Goldberg Variations.　It was quite a wonderful performance, so I thought it would be nice to share it with you. https://youtu.b...

　I uploaded Bach's Goldberg Variations, Aria (piano version) to YouTube and immediately received the following two copyright infringement claims from SME (Sony Music Entertainment).　Again, I immediately filed an objection, but this time to a rather curious copyright infringement claim...

　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...

　I am typing an aria from the Goldberg Variations as a trio of violin, viola, and cello.　I am using the score arranged by Sitkovetsky for string trio.　I have restored the slurs in the violin part, which were omitted by my teacher's suggestion...
