Date: May 21, 2025

This is the latest album by Shoko Kawasaki, a talented pianist who has won prizes at international competitions in Japan and abroad and is currently expanding her activities mainly in Germany. This album is titled "Die Tastenkunst" (The Ultimate in Keyboard Art) and features "Exercises" by three great composers. Through the genre of "Exercises," the album explores the pianism of Chopin, Debussy, and Ligeti. The order of the pieces, based on Kawasaki's ideas, is also noteworthy. Chopin's "Exercises, Op. 25" is interwoven with works by the other two composers, as if a magnificent new "exercise" work consisting of 22 pieces had been born, and we will be able to feel the new appeal of each composer. Be sure to check out Ligeti's "Exercises," which are becoming increasingly popular these days. Shoko Kawasaki's gorgeous tone and excellent technique will bring these pieces to life in vivid colors. Shoko Kawasaki's gorgeous tone and superb technique paint a vivid picture of these pieces. Please enjoy the world of keyboard art depicted through the "Practice Pieces.
