【Q.What is your favorite piece？】
mezzopiano）〈Piano Concerto in A Minor Op.16〉. When I heard it for the first time, I was hit by lightning from the beginning. From his representative collection of piano pieces 《Lyric Pieces》, I like 〈Gangar〉(Op.54-2, volume 5). From the opening melody with a simple and innocent atmosphere, it is just out of this world to change the key for a moment. The sound took my heart with one ear. It’s also good when the dynamic range is intense. It’s not flashy, but it’s earthy and cool.
