This one starts in a joyous mood. Then it becomes rather distant and official, only to get playful again in the end but in a more subtle way. The first part remains, however, our favourite. Happy listening!
The credit goes to Bunji Hisamori for creating the midi file and allowing us to post an audio rendering of it on our blog. The file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives. Here are the other “concerts” from this series.

Saturday Noon Concert (4): Beethoven – Piano Sonata in Eb, Op.7, No. 4
Perhaps you are wondering why we are using midi files instead of “real” interpretations of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. Well, we think that for a first audition (especially if you don’t listen much to classical music) these midi versions, apart from being of very good quality, have a particular advantage.
That is, they are, of course, interpretations of the scores, but the interpretation does not come first, so you may focus on the musical structures better. And here is the fourth sonata:

Saturday Noon Concert (3): Beethoven – Piano Sonata in C, Op.2, No. 3
As you might already suspect, we’ve started this series with Beethoven’s piano sonatas and now we can’t stop. At one point, however, we’ll get to other classical music composers, so please bear with us for a while. That being said, let’s listen to the music:

Saturday Noon Concert (2): Beethoven – Piano Sonata in A major, Op. 2, No. 2
At the end of the second part you’ll hear a theme from Queen’s Bohemian Rapsody. Don’t freak out, it might be a coincidence. 🙂
This “concert” was posible due to Bunji Hisamori, the author of the midi version of Beethoven’s sonata.
Technical details: The midi file was downloaded from The Classical Music Archives. We’ve used the Steinway model C grand piano soundfont and FluidSynth to render the midi file. Jack was the audioserver and the output was recorded with TimeMachine, edited with Audacity and converted to mp3 with Lame.
Saturday Noon Concert (1): Beethoven – Piano Sonata in F Minor, Op. 2 No. 1
You should listen to this even if you don’t usually listen to classical music. Really, it’s beautiful!
We want to thank Bunji Hisamori, the creator of the midi version of Beethoven’s sonata, for his kind permission to make an audio rendering of it and post it on our blog.
p.s.: Yes, this is a new project. We’ll post audio renderings (created using open source software and free audio fonts) of classical music on our blog every week.
