Mobara Piano Association 32nd Mobara Piano Festival Unofficial

The 32nd Mobara Piano Festival is a local music event consisting of a piano competition, an awards ceremony, and a talk recital by Asuka Jitsukawa. This year, the competition format has been revamped, with the solo and four-piece divisions being held independently, in pursuit of more specialized and profound piano expression. The main program, a talk recital by Asuka Jitsukawa, will feature masterpieces such as Mozart's Piano Sonata No. 3 and Schumann's profound and fantastic "The Vienna Carnival Clown Theater. In particular, Mr. Jitsukawa's unique perspective on the duet as "chamber music at its most intimate" is sure to bring a new fascination of piano music to the audience. Through the performance and commentary, the audience will have the opportunity to experience the depths of music and the full potential of the piano as an instrument with a wide variety of sounds. We hope you will have a heart-enriching time at this festival that transmits the excitement of music from the region.
