I remember playing this when I played a sonata. I agree with you on this being the entry-level Sonata

Interesting interpretation, especially dynamics

This sonata is extremely helpful for the student. First movement teaches the basics of the sonata form in a clear way. The Menuet is a sort of reduced version of the one in the 8th Violin sonata. It'd be good to complete the study with the op. 49 n. 1 which has a first movement with more elaborated development section and most of all a very nice small Rondo example.

Thank you for introducing this sonata, just I‘m looking for.

Thanks for the great video ❤❤❤

This is excellent. I absolutely love it

Bravo Denis, Brillantissimo played with great dynamics and taste !! I enjoyed this more than a Mozart sonata. I have also returned to the classical repertoire. it feels like a bowl of natural fresh air and an open sky after being in the heavy and tormented cluttered romantics dungeons. You probably remember me from earlier exchanges trying to solve my right thumb cramp tension that is ruining all my piano progress. Well, i have decided to pause Chopin Etudes entirely ( i covered all 24 but am not fluent with them to perform) and am now learning Czerny Op 849 Studies in Mechanism. A huge step backwards. It's for "young pupils" but my right hand even struggles to play that effortlessly because of the thumb tensions. In fact i cannot even play all the 30 studies well !! What is more haunting me is why do I have this problem ? I vaguely remember at around age 13 i sprained my right thumb in schoolyard ball sports ball game and a second time not long after, nothing major but enough that i had to keep the thumb immobilized for almost 3 weeks. I don't remember any sequels from that, i thought i recovered completely but now i wonder if this has caused the problem. At the time i was not piano trained, i was an organ music student which is a different technique but I remember thumb tensions started to happen when playing pieces with a lot of thumb passing but i thought it was just poor technique that i would overcome. Well many decades later, and having learned the piano for 15 years now this is my major issue. I am unable to find any physiological anomalies with my right hand that would be evident sequel of an accident. But i still believe maybe something subtle could have been altered and healed but i hope not. It seems nobody has this problem, do you have any students with this problem ? and my left hand sure does not. I don't feel any movement limitation in either hand. It always "wants" to happen when passing the thumb under and back out while playing with the other fingers. Basically scales, repeated note with 3-2-1 or the worst is crossing down the index or middle finger over the thumb and uncrossing it. It seems to build a tension that insidiously within a page of music score or two becomes a cramp where the thumb literally stays bent under even if i stop playing, and i have to bent it backward with strong intention.

hello dennis, i'm just curious about your articulation choices - could you tell me as to why you detach some of the notes marked legato?

🐾👻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ plz post more videos of playing I truly love your playing soooooooo much

Thank you Denis for a very enjoyable piece , but can you please explain the reason for your hand movements especially the left hand. I have not noticed that before, at least it is more exaggerated .

If this is entry level then I'm way back at the end of the queue 😂👍. Told my teacher I'd like to tackle Beethoven Pathetique one day. Maybe in 15-20 years 😅.
