PTNA is supporting concerts promotion for pianists in various aspects; public announcement, ticket selling, introduction of sound data etc. We receive about 350 applications par year, among which, PCC Piano Duo (Toru Masuko, Masaki Saibara) counts the highest number of application since 2009, 36 times.

Rintaro AKAMATSU follows this duo group, who has applied 20 times in 2 years. He says that concert is the space that he can share the 'chemical reaction' between audience, and therefore, he believes it strengthens the willpower to put out nothing but the truth though music. He regards "PTNA public recording concert" as the stage of 21st century that keeps the excitement of live performance as well as the joy of sharing music with everyone online. Naomi SUZUKI, a piano teacher and the representative of 'Chiba-Sotoboh Station' in Chiba, plays on stage 9 times in the last 2 years. It enables her to feel close to her students and to share the experiences of repertoire building, preparation for performance and even choosing dresses.  Yuko ISHIKAWA, an ensemble pianist, began as a soloist but gradually became interested in ensemble performances. She says that ensemble is not just the music but the communication without words. She also would like to convey a sense of 'strength of cooperation' to the people who suffered in the northeast earthquake.

Then, how is the overall figures about concert activities that PTNA supported in recent years? A statistics on concert style proves that ensemble performances reaches 22%, while solo recitals occupies 53%. Still the latter is dominant, but demands for ensemble seem to be increased.
Another statistics shows that pieces most played were Chopin's Ballade no.1 (52 times), Grande Polonaise brillante Op.53 (43 times), and Barcarolle Fis-Dur Op.60 (40 times), followed by Chopin's Sonata no.3, Liszt's Grandes études de Paganini S.141 no.3 "La Campanella" and Beethoven's Sonata no.14 "Sonata quasi una fantasia" (39 times).
It is probable that choice of Debussy's music would increase next year as it will be 150th anniversary of his birth.
