In 2016, I recorded Beethoven’s complete cycle of 32 piano sonatas as a private, non-commercial artistic project. The aim was not to produce a studio album, but to document a major personal achievement: engaging seriously with one of the greatest monuments of the piano repertoire from beginning to end.

For any pianist, the Beethoven sonatas are not simply a collection of works. They represent a complete world of musical thought: discipline, drama, architecture, lyricism, struggle, humour, spirituality, and transformation. Recording the full cycle gave me a way to measure my own growth as a performer and to confront the demands of Beethoven’s language on a deeper level.

This project also became closely connected to my identity as both pianist and composer. As a pianist, it strengthened my understanding of form, sound, character, and long-range expression. As a composer, it sharpened my awareness of musical structure, motivic development, emotional contrast, and the power of large-scale musical imagination.

These recordings remain a personal document of study, commitment, and artistic ambition — a milestone in my journey through the classical piano repertoire.
