Translation to English by Mrs. Miyoko Weissenberg<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"\/?page_id=2427\">Kun-Woo Paik<\/a> in 2017 has been continuing his pilgrimage with Beethoven&#8217;s piano sonatas for over 6 months. From the end of March to the middle of October, thirty-two recitals were given in 24 cities of Korea, the same number of recitals as that of complete piano sonata works by Beethoven. He kept playing exclusively Beethoven\u2019s piano sonatas. The recital was titled as \u201c Kun-Woo Paik and Beethoven, Endless journey\u201d. I found it is a well-thought title, as the concept of \u201cjourney\u201d is not linked to classical music in Japan. The climax of these continuous recitals cycle was the complete 32 works of Beethoven piano sonata\u2019s recitals held at the concert hall of Seoul Arts Center from September 1st to 8th. It has been 10 years since Mr. Paik had presented the complete sonatas in 2007, and he must be surely the first Korean pianist having performed complete sonatas recitals for two times.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VYrKXBjC6V8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the past when \u00abBeethoven performers\u00bb like Backhaus, Kempff, Serkin or Arrau had been active, they were presenting Beethoven\u2019s complete piano sonatas wherever they went. Even nowadays, there are pianists such as Rudolf Buchbinder, whose specialty is Beethoven\u2019s complete piano sonatas performance. But they do not have repertoires as large as that of Mr. Paik\u2019s, and it was not necessary for them to have that. How Mr. Paik who acquires such diverse repertoires of piano music represents his second performance of complete piano sonatas by Beethoven, a decade after his first recitals? It is an \u201cevent\u201c for not only Asia but also in the whole world of piano performance. I, who heard his performance of complete works 10 years ago at Guangzhou in China, went to Seoul to listen all of the recitals as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The most important aspect of performing the complete piano sonatas recitals is to construct the structure of the program. How these 32 works can be combined, by period of composition, tonality, scale of the piece or level of difficulty, or where \u201cThe well-known sonata\u201d shall be included in the program (obviously one must think of marketing), etc., the pianist is tested to be intellectually insightful and musically analytical, and for listener it brings pleasure of discovering the performer\u2019s intention of the program.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">What Mr. Paik has represented in his program must be one of a \u201cmodel response\u201d. One shall pay attention to the fact that it is not the same program structure as that of 10 years ago. He was also using the score by Heinrich Schenker\u2019s editions for this recitals. As far as I remember, he must has been using score by Henl\u00e9 editions\u00a0at the recitals of 10 years ago.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Sep. 1st.:\u00a0 Sonata n\u00ba 20, n\u00ba 1, n\u00ba 19 \/ n\u00ba 15\u00a0\u00abPastoral\u00bb, n\u00ba 8 \u00abPath\u00e9tique\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 2nd.: Sonata n\u00ba 5, n\u00ba 3 \/ n\u00ba 12, n\u00ba 14 \u00abMoonlight\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 3rd.: (afternoon) Sonata n\u00ba 6, n\u00ba 7 \/ n\u00ba 16, n\u00ba 17 \u00abThe Tempest\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 4th.: (evening) Sonata n\u00ba 10, n\u00ba 2 \/ n\u00ba 22, n\u00ba 23 \u00abAppassionata\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 5th.: Sonata n\u00ba 11, n\u00ba 18\u00a0\u00abThe hunt\u00bb \/ n\u00ba 9, n\u00ba 25, n\u00ba 21\u00abWaldstein\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 6th.: Sonata n\u00ba 4, n\u00ba 24 \/ n\u00ba 13, n\u00ba 26 \u00abLes adieux\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 7th.: Sonata n\u00ba 27, n\u00ba 28 \/ n\u00ba 29 \u00abHammerklavier\u00bb<\/li>\n<li>Sep. 8th.: Sonata n\u00ba 30, n\u00ba 31, n\u00ba 32 (without intermission)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I will give you a brief summary of my impressions as follows. The first recital which gives an overview of the early period of Sonatas known to be the three core works for piano students (n\u00ba 1, n\u00ba 19, n\u00ba 20), was a the most pedagogical and a rare opportunity to be performed by such a great Piano master as Mr. Paik. The second movements of \u00abPastoral\u00bb and \u00abPath\u00e9tique\u00bb were performed with such deep feeling and became the moments of the night.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The second recital was combined by related tonality in major and minor in each session; one could feel at the latter part that there was the image of a funeral procession. The dotted rhythm that appeared in the first movement of the moonlight sonata implies a funeral bell and not the moonlight shining upon\u00a0lake Leman* if the musical-rhetorical figure is taken for granted. He performed the 2nd and 4th movement of the\u00a0 \u00abFuneral March sonata\u00bb and the last movement of \u00abMoonlight\u00a0sonata\u00bb lively with plenty of energy, displaying the contrast between life and death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">At the third and fourth recital, he performed sonatas from the early period to two works (n\u00ba 16, n\u00ba 17) which led to \u00abnew road\u00bb, then \u00abAppassionata\u00bb, offering various styles of 8 sonata pieces in one day held listeners\u2019 attention. How marvellously he played at the short cadenza of 90 measures in the second movement of n\u00ba16! His performance of \u00abThe Tempest\u00bb and \u00abAppassionata\u00bb which he also performed in Japan in the past, reminded me of the important Sumo match between highest-ranged \u00ab\u014cyokozuna\u00bb sumo wrestlers\u2019. He dominated the hall by his sense of uniformity in concentrated expressions at the last movement of \u00ab\u00a0The Tempest\u00bb, or by the coda in \u00abAppassionata\u00bb which made me imagine an explosion of galaxy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mr. Paik\u2019s\u2019 fifth recital was quite brilliant, with his dynamic and passionate performance at the last movements of \u00ab\u00a0The hunt\u00bb and \u00ab\u00a0Waldstein\u00bb, or with optimum expressions given to n\u00ba9 and n\u00ba 25 sonata which were like chamber music. At his 6th recital, three sonatas in E-flat major were aligned, he carefully represented each characteristic part in these movements, and the splendid performance of \u00abLes adieux\u00bb deserved to be the final to conclude this recital.<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7kR6xG5jfmk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Only the later period of 6 sonatas are left for recitals at last. The Sonata n\u00ba 27and n\u00ba 28 played in the first part of 7th recital could have been even better performed and be excellent by such an experienced and accomplished pianist as Mr. Paik. This was because probably at the beginning of n\u00ba 27, the chord of his right hand did not play as he intended and the first movement became incoherent due to this unexpected occurrence. It seemed to me that there is still some room left for consideration for tempo of each movement of No.28\u2019s. The second and last movement\u2019s allegro could have been adequate with a slightly calmer tempo. It is normal to have such occurrences, as recitals are organised almost every day, for 8 times.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His performance of \u00abHammerklavier\u00bb deserves to be one of the best performance one could listen at present. Among other active pianists, maybe Mr. Grigory Sokolov is the only one who can perform as same level as Mr. Paik. Mr. Sokolov\u2019s Hammerklavier can be described as if he constructs in more than 50 minutes a great complex of Buddhist temples, while Mr. Paik will let us hear with large scale of lively grace of \u201cQi\u201d (energy flow according to Chinese tradition), which he brought from the space. When it comes to the third movement, there is no one aside from Mr. Paik who could express such human and profound emotions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the eighth recital, Mr. Paik performed the three last sonatas perfectly, bringing the whole audience to completely a different world. The profound silence that came after he played the last cord of the last sonata, was the most noble and sublime moment achieved after the performance of 32 works by this superhuman pianist. Even if it was not done this time, I hope one day the 6 sonatas live performance would be recorded on CD.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It shall also be mentioned that the audience listened motionlessly to each one of 32 sonatas. Korea is at present a leading country of piano in Asia where they produce many young talented pianists. This is made possible due to people such virtuosos as Mr. Paik, teachers who have a global vision, and audiences who have great sensibility and ability to grasp musical expressions and emotions. The audiences who sincerely enjoy the performance, and give an explosive applause as soon as performance is finished (also endless requests for autographs and souvenir picture taking), are the ones supporting the foundation of Korean Piano world\u2019s prosperity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All together, the interpretation of Beethoven\u2019s sonata by Mr. Paik during the cycle of these recitals was different from that of 10 years ago, and also from what we hear from CD. His free performing style was quite astonishing. He split in two hands for leaps of octave and chords in \u00ab\u00a0Hammerklavier\u00bb and beginning of No.32, also in the same way for the opening part (so called the phrase of \u201cMannheim rockets\u201d) and in bar 16-17<sup>th. <\/sup>of the No.7 on the third movement. He is often at a standstill when his impulsive desires for musical expression exceed the capability of piano as the instruments, but this shall be accepted as one of his characteristic side of his art.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5354\" src=\"http:\/\/acmconcerts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/11\/kun_woo_paik_portada_disco_sonatas_beethoven.jpg\" alt=\"Kun-Woo Paik portada disco sonatas Beethoven\" width=\"614\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">His pianism from technical, physical and mental aspects are all at a complete maturity state. In my opinion, the essential qualities in his performance is his capacity of \u00abspirit\u00a0channeling\u00a0\u00bb. While the ultimate goal of occidental music is to go beyond, ascending to heaven, to an ideal world, Mr. Paik communicates with composers\u2019 spirit in heaven when interpreting his compositions, and brings them back to be possessed as he likes. It is an opposite vector.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This \u201cpossession\u201d creates a particularly realistic atmosphere as if Beethoven himself was playing during Mr. Paik\u2019s performance, and became a source for such a strong persuasion to the audience. In other words, Mr. Paik is a Shaman piano performer (or, Mudang and Baksu in Korean Shamanism), with the aesthetics, which have Asian particularity. Such \u00ab\u00a0possessive\u00a0\u00bb style of pianists are not seen in Korea nor in Asia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spiritually rich and sophisticated \u201cTheatricality\u201c, in his production of music and gesture during his performance is also his particularity and not seen with other pianists. I wonder if he obtained this capacity through the influence of his beloved Partner Yoon Jeong-hee. This quality brings the best effect when one interprets works of composer such as Beethoven, whose musical works are mainly constituted of dramatical contrasts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Previously, Mr. Paik had realized \u201cTheatricality \u201c and \u201cpossession\u201d though great amount of concentration and strong determination. But since this recital, these elements are more relaxed, and we see as \u201dTwo beings\u201d, Beethoven and Mr. Paik appearing freely one after another during performance. He succeeds to give the ideal expressions depending on the musical character of each movement on sonata, and made almost the best interpretation we can listen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is another thing that became clear to me. It is his future picture. Mr. Paik will probably be the first Asian master pianist who will be successful at forefront throughout his life, like Mr. Horowitz who was recording until the day before he passed away, or Mr. Rubinstein who gave recitals until 89 years old, or Mr. Horszowski who was an active performer until 99 years old. Mr. Paik\u2019s achievement of this second integral Beethoven piano sonata recitals, brought his pianism and as a person too, to a new higher level. One shall keep more eyes on his further success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Prof. Satoru Sakaku, musicologist, professor at Tokyo University, for Auditorium Magazine.
