This 56-minute video lesson explores an in-depth look at the third movement of Beethoven's Sonata No.17 in D Minor, Op.31 No.2, often referred to as the "Tempest" (Anton Schindler's biography on Beethoven states that when he asked the composer about this sonata, Beethoven told him to read Shakespeare's The Tempest). Areas of focus include techniques for creating the proper articulation, pedaling suggestions, formal analysis, creating a variety of characters and how to contrast these characters effectively, fingering suggestions, how to play more accurately, shaping ideas, developing a better touch, interpretation, and more tips to help you become as efficient as possible in your practice sessions.

Thanks for the tutorial. I have always adored this piece, on of the loveliest things ever written, filled with passionate love. Most people play it too fast, in my opinion, and it turns the passion into an agitated delirium. I am so grateful to Beethoven for having written The Tempest.

A really useful video, especially regarding the pedalling as Beethoven himself provided no markings for this at all - thank you. Just a couple of points as I am currently learning this movement: firstly particularly at a slower learners tempo, I am finding it quite tricky to feel the correct 3/8 pulse rather than triplets in 2/4. Would have appreciated a thought on this, though it is much easier with the bars I have got up to speed. Secondly, both my reputable editions (Henle Verlag fingered by Murray Perahia, and Weiner Urtext) finger the semiquavers* in the opening bars as 5 421 ie separating the loose D semiquaver in the bass in bars 2,3 and 4, and repeat this as 5 421 with the loose A in bars 6,7 and 8. I realise everyone has to work out their own most effective fingering, but I find that outlined above to be preferable and so may others; both the fingering outlined above and your 5 321 and 5 132 however need careful thought given to the pedalling and I appreciated your advice. By the way, Beethoven told Czerny that this movement was prompted after he heard a horseman galloping past his window. * Avoiding the ‘brain freeze’ American-English (ie German) fractional notation, I use the more universal English names which are in line with the non-mathematical ones also found in French, Italian, Spanish, and many other languages; a semiquaver being a sixteenth note.

@@siriasouza5264 ah i understand that but please do it at your own risk. This piece requires very good technique with very loose fingers and wrists, which most beginners do not have. If your serious about this piece, you may leave longterm in your wrists because this piece requires speed and precision. Try and learn the first 2 lines but please do not go farther, but other than that, happy learning!

@@bryvnxiii4632 i have started this movement recently and i have to agree. it's a challenging piece that is not as easy as you'd think. i would argue this movement is harder than the first, which sounds more difficulty imo. there are so many leaps that need to sound smooth and have to blend into the background (bass in the closing theme for instance).

Great! I love this, but I would also love a lesson on Schumanns Bunte Blätter op 99. Why is Schumann so hard to learn - just learning to arrange the patterns on the keyboard? My goodness! That basic skill is hard, when the composer is Robert Schumann! I wonder why.

@CordeliaWilliams 3 жыл бұрын

Great comment @mette holm! I totally agree. Schumann is one of my favourite composers because his music is so personal, emotional and constantly changing - like quicksilver. Or quick sand! But for the same reason I think he makes you crazy when you study his music, just as crazy as he was. Maybe not quite as crazy. I feel like Scriabin and Schumann are similar in that regard. Especially Scriabin 3rd Sonata. @Josh Wright I love how you break down the softness and subtlety of the pedalling and breaths of air in this video. You're an excellent teacher.

Beethoven was very specific with his pedal indications : it should be applied on some specific areas. He really used it to give an effect not just to avoid legato.
