Episode 513 features Mao Fujita, a young pianist Japan proudly presents to the world. In this classical performance ― a first on THE FIRST TAKE ― he captivates with an unmatched level of concentration, conveyed solely through his piano performance.
The Clara Haskil International Piano Competition winner and second-place finisher at the International Tchaikovsky Competition, Mao Fujita, who has consistently achieved outstanding results at numerous other competitions, will perform Beethoven: Piano Sonata No. 23 D minor Op. 57 “Appassionata” Mov. 3.
Written in 1805 and regarded as one of Beethoven’s 3 greatest piano sonatas, it is said to be a piece that requires the performer to meticulously and musically build upon flaming passionate emotions, demanding exceptional technique and fearlessness.
