Satoshi Inagaki Piano Recital Vol. II Beethoven + Bartok

The program will start in 2020, the 250th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, and will feature No. 30, op. 109, No. 31, op. 110, and No. 32, op. 111, one piece each year, as well as a program of 20th century composers who will celebrate their anniversaries in the year of the festival: Atsuhiko Gondai (55 years old), Atsuhiko Bartok (140 years old), and Debussy (160 years old). The program will also include works by 20th century composers who will celebrate their anniversaries in the year of the festival: Atsuhiko Gondai (55), Bartók (140 years since his birth), and Debussy (160 years since his birth), who are both modern and contemporary. Although delayed one year due to the spread of corona infection, the series will begin in 2021. The concert demonstrated Inagaki's maturity with the intimacy of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30, the dramatic expression of Bach, and the overwhelming performance of Atsuhiko Gondai's work. This year's Beethoven was Piano Sonata No. 31 and "Six Bagatelles. Bartók's fascinating program included the "Dance Suite," based on a folk song motif that is synonymous with him, the "Piano Sonata," an important work from his mature period, and the "Microcosmos" (microcosm), in which all of Bartók's musical language appears.
