Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique" - II. Adagio Cantabile

At Studio M, we present classical music by performing directly from the composer's original score, rendered on a computer and distributed digitally (performance instruction scores are created using KAWAI's Score Maker).
For this release, we present one of Beethoven's most beloved masterpieces as a single.
The Piano Sonata No. 8 "Pathétique," composed around 1798, is a representative work from his early period. Consisting of three movements, its second movement-marked "Adagio cantabile " ( " slowly, in a singing manner " ) - is especially well known. From the very beginning, the gently unfolding, song-like theme can truly be described as a "song" expressed through the piano.
In this recording, while embracing the unique qualities of computer-based performance, we aim to portray its beautiful and transparent sound world with utmost simplicity.
We hope you will enjoy it as a peaceful accompaniment to a quiet evening.
