Beethoven on Board
Introduction
Our Beethoven on Board project is an extensive undertaking in which we will be creating detailed video-walkthroughs for each of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. Presented by pianist Masayuki Tayama, the series is being filmed on board The Piano Boat which offers a new way of bringing classical music to audiences in and around London, surrounded by the intrigue and beauty of the canals. Videos exploring background, style, interpretation, technical challenges and practice methods for the following works are available to date with more to follow in due course:
- Sonata in F Minor, Op. 2 No. 1
- Sonata in A Major, Op. 2 No. 2
- Sonata in C Major, Op. 2 No. 3
- Sonata in E-Flat Major, Op. 7
- Sonata in C Minor, Op. 10 No. 1

Masayuki Tayama
Masayuki Tayama has maintained a highly active schedule as both international recitalist and concerto soloist. Tayama’s Wigmore Hall debut early in his career was a sell-out, and he continues to appear regularly at eminent London venues, including Queen Elizabeth Hall, Cadogan Hall and St. John Smith’s Square. He has taught some of the country’s aspiring pianists as tutor at Chetham’s School of Music, and his teaching incorporates the method taught by Sumiko Mikimoto on tone production, muscle relaxation and training for pianists. In 2020, he was appointed Director of the Piano Teachers’ Course UK, the country’s leading professional development course for piano pedagogy. Tayama is also currently in the midst of a project to record Rachmaninov’s complete works for solo piano.
