Tsujii says, \"It's a long piece, so it was very difficult to maintain my concentration.\" \"I spent a lot of time preparing for the recording. The third movement was particularly challenging. The more I played it, the more I felt its depth, including making the music my own. Beethoven's circumstances resonate with my own experiences. Despite losing his hearing, he left behind wonderful and complex works like this sonata. That's why I approached it with respect for Beethoven.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"auto\"\u003eIn preparation for recording Liszt's song cycle \"To My Distant Beloved,\" arranged for solo piano in 1816, Tsujii delved deeply into the six poems, just as he did into the music. \"I was deeply moved by the poems.
