MONTH WELL SPENT !!!!!!

Day 21 will have you listening to my all time favorite piano piece of any kind or time - The Waldstein.

Sen Der I often fall in love with imperfection as its the players with most passion that will deviate ocassionally from the music due to their own powerful interpretations

lol I laughed in the end too! Such a witty, clever, funny and beautiful sonata! Absolute genius

No

@@nobody-ce9ut So you're saying he doesn't think that way?

@@anariondanumenor9675 I'm saying he doesn't have the best Beethoven recordings at all

Very fortunate!

This backround information is very intresting! :)

I play this sonata too and having read this lovely insight can imagine I will find it difficult to imagine the wife wanting and the husband (ie. me) not conceding. Perhaps it's just an Aussie thing. ;-)

Rainer Langlotz interesting...

Such fanciful bs.

What do you think Beethoven meant in the second part? Thanks for your comment, it has become very interesting to play this sonata.

Aaron tewelde Any art form can do that if it's quality art.

Hallie Kruger The most fabolous pianist of all time was Chopin, with Liszt and Beethoven.

Adria Torras and Mozart

Liszt

Short answer: It isn't Kissin, and their lives are dedicated to thumbing down everything that isn't performed by him.

Sebastian Skowron it’s pretty hard to find many interpretations compared to other sonatas on Spotify in my experience... it’s pretty tricky to get this sonata right I’m studying it now

0:13 is when it starts

A man who dealt with struggle but was never afraid to show the humorous side of his world! Great synopsis for this piece, the 1st movement being seldom and sort of operatic in its own respect! Your summary of the 2nd movement really perfectly captured what I had in mind, a gang of brothers enjoy drinks and laughter, and Beethoven goes on a drunken tangent, to me, this is the most characteristic movement in this piece because it parallels what you would expect from Beethoven! And the 3rd movement is just the great humour we've begun to see in Beethoven, you can't explain it but I could only say it's his way of pointing at life and laughing at it! So many sonatas after his plaguing deafness contain the humour that he has -- a stubborn student of the musical joker Haydn (my metaphor of Haydn), he really does capture his own characteristic humour in his works just as Haydn did. He once detested Haydn, but I could imagine he would never even attempt to ridicule Haydn later on as he surely would see how much he has learned from the old master in his reclusive period. Beethoven is a musical kaleidoscope which will never decay! He takes in the influences and reflects his own style separate from his contemporaries through effective use of the variation form and writing characteristic pieces which resemble the previous masters before himself!

Too slow? Everyone rushes his sonatas, slower tempi are always good. And he's not even that slow

Signature Beethoven style of surprising & defying expectations of listeners. It's like he's waking up the listeners to sit still right away with that sudden drop in tune out of nowhere like like throwing that tune off of a cliff! Really is a unique composer Beethoven is. So experimental & unorthodox. Beethovens works are such a treasure for classical music aficianados😍🎹🎼🎶

Beethoven be like: BOOYAH!

Nothing is perfect lol

+Liz Clegg xD

+Liz Clegg You feel like you're actually self-taught sometimes... I know the feelings! :(

+Orebit I think piano teaching is probably much better now than it was when I was young. I spent 6 years being made to play "Spanish Shawls" repeatedly !

Liz Clegg oh shoot. now I'll have to search for Spanish shawls:-)

Mike King Don't go there. I mean really, don't. Don't search for "The Taxi Driver's Dance" either.

Thanks
