He played the Moonlight sonata in the sense of a very powerful sound. The most amazing part of this piano sonata is its dynamic changes throughout the whole music. The emotion went from quiet and somber notes like the moonlight to strong and powerful notes like Danube river. We seemed to see no more difficulties in life, sorrow, worries and unhappiness but a magical and beautiful world

He played the Moonlight sonata in the sense of a very powerful sound. The most amazing part of this piano sonata is its dynamic changes throughout the whole music. The emotion went from quiet and sombre notes like the moonlight to strong and powerful notes like Danube river. We seemed to see no more difficulties in life, sorrow, worries and unhappiness but a magical and beautiful world.
If we were deeply touched by the Moonlight Sonata, the Triana and Menuet brought us dynamic experiences and belief in life. Besides his performances, Tran Phuong Nam pianist also talked about his music pathway. Next to the works: Ballade No.4 of Chopin, Prelude, Menuet and Toccata of Ravel.
