Richter is great as always.. so beautiful..

The very beginning is somewhat like the beginning of bach's g major french suite

Wow it a wonderful pieces can’t wait to play it

beautiful timelles, Richter has amazing articulation

7:57 to 8:04, i hear the Waldstein sonata

There is a few places that echoes me his emperor..

I like the E major, and the double sharps, at 3:35.

1:13 love it

In 1:33 it sound like the instrumental part from A Kind of Hush by the carpenters

The second to last chord I was wrong, he plays that as written... I don't hear the high G in the last chord at ALL... nor any of the other notes below it. Just the G below.

6:17 it’s interesting that he wrote out this trill this way (assuming this is true to the autograph)

1:09 this looks SOOO much like a page out of Czerny

Dazzling playing

Cool

@Astathis I know, it's just that when I checked the Op.51 Rondos by Beethoven, and they are these ones. WoO 51 is an uncompleted Piano Sonata in C major; only the 1st movement and a fragment of the 2nd movement survives of it.

@brianbernsteintv I don't hear a difference - G-H-d-g-h'-d''-g''-h'' and G'-H'-D-G-g'-h'-d''-g'' (german denotation). What would be the differing notes you mean?

Clássico.

Lele Adani brought me here

@GreatMoaning Richter is playing the last two chords one octave lower than written with his right hand. I'm pretty sure the left hand is played as written. I just thought it was curious.

...the last two chords he played weren't the ones on the score... ?

Hewrotethisfor his gf , but she don't care

I listened to it several times, I guess he plays the correct octave in the right hand. Just that the bass is a little loud may give this impression.

Но это не Бетховен. Это смесь Шостаковича с Шопеном. А вот Эрих Тен Берг играл Бетховена.

rondo for beverly

Richter is a good reference point if you want to see how to get all Beethoven's note-values at the right speed. His performance is good in that he mostly follows what musical indications Beethoven writes but there is little of the pianist behind the notes. Beethoven writes grazioso at the beginning, but some of Richter's notes are too staccato for this observance, and the notes in the right hand at 2' 13'' + are played as a spread chord instead of being clearly distinctly-separated notes.

Rondó para Beverly

I believe you mean Op.51.

Was this written in 1803? The Mozart influence is clear.

zauber!

Don't like.
