　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...

　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...

　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...

　How about Schubert?　My teacher recommended that I type D.935, Op.142-1 from 4Impromptus.　I listened to several pianists play it while following the score.　But it took me quite a while to get to the point where I thought, "I would like to play this...

　No. 24, commonly known as "Thérèse." A beautiful little piece in two movements. The opening four measures are probably the most crucial part. It took me quite a while to get this section right. I just couldn't bring myself to say "Well, that'll do." Title: Piano Sonata No. 24 in C minor, Op. 73, No. 2.

Next, please listen to No. 31. This piece also took me quite a while to master. As a result, the lesson notes compiling the teacher's comments became quite substantial. They're truly a treasure to me. Now, there are two key points to listen for in ”Klagender...".

　I was quite impressed with this song that was played in the background when I saw Oliver Stone's "Platoon" a long time ago. It was apparently used at Kennedy's funeral, but that in itself was a great shock and I never noticed the funeral music that was played.　I've never been a piano...

This time it's Piano Sonata No. 21 in C major, Op. 53. The famous "Waldstein," isn't it? I imagine it's one of Beethoven's piano sonatas that many people enjoy listening to. Numerous great recordings are available. But rather than from the perspective of listening, from the perspective of playing...

　　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...
