And by 24 years of age, Beethoven unlocked beast mode. By 30, he was the final boss.

of all classical masters, Beethoven evolves the most. year to year, his style changes completely. old baroque structures revived, new harmonic languages implemented, and yet it ALWAYS somehow sounds "like Beethoven" due to the jolting dynamic contrasts, expanding forms, drama, and signature motives

In "Rage over a lost penny" you can notice the birth of what made Beethoven "Beethoven": his fury, his passion, his greatness, and that powerful bass progression over the cute and light melody; just the like the 3rd, the 5th and parts of his 7th symphony (specially the third movement). What a great mind!!! Viva Beethoven ❤️ Thanks for the video.

As a guy who learned most of his classical music from Bugs Bunny episodes.. I am still amazed at how these composers so skillfully use each hand so independently of one another and create such harmony and rhythm.

Goosebumps, his work when he was 43 was amazing. He was deaf and still managed to compose something like that?? geeez i love this mans' talent so much

"Even beethoven looked serious throughout his self-pictures, he is delightful in insides." That was a good sentence. His last musical thought as his last requiem always settle his death good. Unlike Mozart, always having the vibe but on a sorrow look at death which he wrote "unfinished" lacrimosa. Schubert isnt excluded any of all, his "Unfinished Symphony" was full of witherness. Like Mozart, his symphony was unfinished like a requiem. Back to Beethoven, person whom never upsets welcoming his end. Or he thought that,"Every goodness must come to an end."

people come and go into this world. Some left with trails of destruction and death, most are just passing by, but a rare group will leave such great contribution. Beethoven is one of such positive people that graced the world with his talent. Much appreciated!

When I was eleven, I wrote a little song, similar to hot cross buns, and was so proud of myself. Listening to his earlier musical compositions, I feel both awe, and my newfound crippling self esteem😅

Man, the composers of old. Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, Bach, etc, GENIUSES.

You can tell by when he was 43, he found it hard to adapt to his loss of hearing. But he definitely leant how to adapt shortly after. He really was a true genius. Just by watching this, it was like watching a mini musical adaptation of a journal. It give you such a real insight of his progression as a musician and how his style evolves throughout his life. I really enjoyed this clip thank you 👏 👏 👏

It is very interesting to me to listen to his emotional evolution through his music over the years. he start light and chirpy, as a small child usually is. As he gets a little older his tones become deeper but still with that lightful-ness of youth with am anticipation of things to come. The prospect of love eternal. Even Rage over a Lost Penny is light and trill, almost as if he finds the experience less angering and more amusing. Why worry over such trivi9al matters?.. at 26 his childhood is squarely behind him and I think we begin to hear the first true 'change' of young Ludwig into a more mature Beethoven; the music reveals an intimate glimpse into a mind who is, perhaps for the first time, thinking about the future. This tune seems, to me at least, to be a little more wary and cautious, reflective of that place between youth and innocence lost. His music at this point takes a darker, more frustrated tone. The Viennese Classic period was pretty much at its peak at the turn of the century. By now newer, younger composers were coming out with cloned styles of the greats such as Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn as music moved from primarily being written for the churches to expand in to the realm of public enjoyment. This meant that the music of these clones were becoming more popular and widespread. Perhaps this led to a sense of frustration in Beethoven, et al. Maybe that frustration reveled itself in his music. Or, perhaps, he was becoming more aware that his hearing wasn't as good as it used to be... Maybe none of this is true, but we can still hear that cheeriness of youth slipping away by the time Beethoven is in his mid to late twenties. Moonlight Sonata is one of my all-time favorite pieces despite evoking feelings of depression and anger. The 1st movement reminds me of a man coming to the realization that nothing lasts forever. As he looks back on his life his vision is perhaps filled with images of his childhood; a boy who would be dragged out of bed by his father when he came home drunk just to force Ludwig to play. What joy could possibly be found in that? A desperate sadness and a longing to be free from the oppression of the ivory keys, with no one to confide in or express how he feels. The 1st movement is pure sorrow and longing. The 2nd movement is an answer to that sorrow. It reminds me of a daydream where life is better, where he can just BE himself without a drunken father leering over him. Then the 3rd movement. That daydream is shattered by reality. This piece is pure frustration and anger. Resentment. He mocks the music because it is the music which chains him to this unfortunate life. Every part of this piece is a series of questions and answers being asked and answered over and over again, never changing. Never resolved. He's fully trapped in this life and he knows it now. Nearly every piece of music to follow is tainted with that same mocking frustration. Even Ode to Joy, seen as one of the most triumphant pieces of music in history is, in my opinion, LVB basically screaming, spittle-mouthed and flashing eyes at the audience "THERE! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!" As fast-paced and bright as some of his following works are, you can still hear the vibrant undertones of sadness and frustration. All except one.... Für Elise. Many believe this to be a love letter from Beethoven to the woman he loved, although her true identity has never been confirmed. The piece is pure emotional torture; as if he loved her from afar but, for whatever reason, never dared to get close. Maybe she was out of reach, possibly already married or of a completely different social standing, but if you listen to this piece carefully, you do not feel love. You feel longing - that reaching out for something that lies just beyond your grasp. A heart which aches but can never be soothed. It's not about love. It's about unrequited love. A love that he probably carried with him until his death. Anyway, that's my emotional take on his music. Ludwig van Beethoven has always fascinated me because his music was the first to ever give me an emotional experience when listening. It opened a sense in me that allowed me, I feel, to 'see' beyond the music composition and in a way have a conversation with the composer. Well, maybe not a conversation wherein I take part - more like eavesdropping on the very personal and innermost thoughts of the composer. The only other piece that has affected me in such a way was Mozart's Lacrimosa. That piece is emotional torture as well but for an entirely different reason...

Next is Chopin plz

When listening to this I can definitely hear that from the ages of 11 to 20 he was still very much finding himself musically. What he was composing wasn't bad, it just didn't feel or sound like "Beethoven". But by his mid 20's he seemed to finally come fully into his own and develop that fire that I personally love Beethoven in Beethoven's music.

These chronologically-arranged videos provide great insights into the composers whose works are presented - especially for their earlier/youthful periods which we all too often overlook or discount. Thanks!

Something a lot of people actually don't know it that by around age 28-30 Beethoven had lost his hearing. He was a true master making songs without even hearing, but knowing they would sound marvelous.

you can clearly feel both classicism and romanticism…. What a legend!

Imagine him watching this video. A lifetime of brilliance and hard work only to be broken down into 10 minutes. We've come a long way.

an absolute musical genius

Beautiful!! Can you do Chopin next, please???

I think Liszt would be a good composer if you decide to do another one. He changed very much through out his life.

Beethoven was bold but also represented the advancements and innovations of the musical periods he was living through.

The ONLY musician who could outdo Mozart during his era.

ベートーベンは、本当に凄いですよね。順風満帆でない人生の苦悩のようなものも感じ取る事ができます。ピアノソナタ月光が私は一番好きなのですが、第一章だけ聞いても「あれ？これはひょっとして、恋の曲なのでは？」と思えますが、第三章まで通して聞くと確信に変わります。よくこんなに歌詞も入ってない曲で、愛する人を讃えつつ、暖かく柔らかなだけではない切ない、心が張り裂けそうな気持ちの表現ができるなと思いました。画家だとゴッホが好きですが、どうやら私は気持ちをストレートに、情熱的に表現する人に弱いみたいです。

Beethoven was highlight creative into his late 40's and early 50's. For you older musicians, it's a reminder that sometimes, your best work is deep into your life.

Awesome stuff! Love the one with Mozart as well. I’m sure you have some idea’s for who’s next but I’m sure many - like myself - would love to see this for Bach!

RIP to a great legend who never failed to pleasure our ears

I consider myself fairly knowledgable about Beethoven, and I was surprised to learn his Op 111- the last piano sonata he wrote- was completed before the Ninth Symphony, which I had considered essentially the gateway of his late period. The extreme hermeticism of the second movement of that sonata reminds me of the eccentricity of his Op. 135 string quartet- music that was written- as he said, for the future, and not for his own time.

I love how we get to his progression as a composer

So influenced by Mozart at a younger age! How fascinating!

You can hear the madness in this man.

he is just such an incredible man, amazing works of art. MASTER of piano. every pianist should look up to him 😊❤

What's really fun about these videos is how early you can see the distinctive styles of the composers show up.

The wonderfulness and greatness of Beethoven is immeasurable, and unfathomable, and off the charts

My favorites: 0:28 Rondo in C Major 1:20 Rage over a Lost Penny 3:20 Moonlight Sonata Mvt. 3 5:05 Symphony No.5 5:31 Fur Elise 7:27 hammerklavier 9:09 Ode to Joy "Symphony No.9" 9:45 Letzer Musikalischer Gedanke

This guy is sick, when is his next album dropping??

The visual representation enlightens the novice of the complexity of his music. Wow ♥️🙏♥️🙏

I am loving this series!

I love Symphony No. 9.❤❤❤❤ My favorite music.🥰 The Fouga-like counterpoint of this symphony is so cool.

OMG 😭 my childhood song is from Beethoven, which is ode to joy, i used to love this song when i was 4

Loved it, thank you, also for Mozart

The way his childhood music pieces were hugely influenced by WA Mozart in his early years. Grown up in between classical and romantic music eras.

He gets grumpier as he gets older. Just like me!

Please do liszt next he lived for a long time so I think it would be a cool video. Especially because his music changed soo much throughout the years.

It's time for another round, this time with the great works by Beethoven. What's your favorite piece? ♫ Sheet Music: gumroad.com/l/hdnya

Moonlight sonata act3 is absolutely the favorite among his craft. It is very, extremely emotional. maybe the moonlight sonata was the first song he actually wrote by himself. usually in childhood, parents affects their musical performance

Beethoven lived long enough to pick up two periods of history, in the case of Classicism and Romanticism (he practiced the musical style of Mozart's time as he practiced the musical style of Chopin's time), therefore, and that is why he is called a transitional composer, because he used both styles of each period. Now, what I didn't know is that the musical transition started in the beginning of the 19th century and I had never heard that transition style either, it's a little strange. But what left me confused is the new style of the period of romanticism that started to emerge in the beginning of the 19th century, whose, in architecture, clothing fashion and painting, classicism lasts until more or less 1815, the period of classicism is accepted that it ends between 1810 and 1815.

What a rebel. I think Beethoven really tried to break the piano in his day. From soft, to HARD, from sensefull to INSANE. Here I come, bang in your face. Genius and revolutionary. He did not want to be ordinary.

What a cool idea for a video series! Thank you.

id give some of my years to him. just to hear more of the work he could have written

I like your talent and skills, Keep on going!

Exceptionnel!! Merci

You gotta do this for every composer!

By the time Beethoven was 28 he was the best composer of all time. When he was 30 he invented a new style unmatched, unequaled and not imitated to this day

I literally got goosebumps on the Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor. How could he create such beautiful melodies even when he's deaf?

When art was wordless...

2:12 Sounds like Moonlight sonata

9:09 Liszt : "Am I a joke to you ?"

Bro practices 24 hours a day 😭

11 yrs. old and already dropping his talent. So fascinating!!!!!!

Outstanding 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 vedio, thank you!!!

He was one of the greatest composers but reached his final form at the age of 47 years by composing of the hardest piece "HAMMERKLAVIER SONATA".

So Beautifull music write just Ludwig van Beethoven. His best compositor! My soul fly...❤

my fav part 27 years

So my level as a 38yo amateur musician is around 10yo Beethoven, good to know

Amazing pianist!!!

Thanks. This is a cool project.

Do one for Chopin, these videos are priceless

I need one of these to start my piano adventure

Amazing bravo

Wow, Beethoven mastered Guitar Hero before it’s release

I like the concept!

My favorite ❤parts were 5:05 and 5:31

I've heard a lot of these but I didn't know that Beethoven played them 😅😅 I have a strange feeling, a combination of feeling stupid, discovering something you've been looking for for decades 😅😅 I wish I would have known earlier that these are Beethoven's works 🥲 I have heard them almost everywhere, street, TV, radio 🥲🥲

Your lie in April has driven me here and it’s gorgeous.

Sonata #17 - this is absolut Masnerpiece!!!!

Thank you i'll wait for it 🙏🙏🙏🥺🥺🥺

Такие таланты я ещё не ожидала,молодцы.😊😊😊😊

Thank you!

0:28 you can hear so much influence from Mozart here and later at 1:21

Fur Elise.

Something to keep in mind while watching this video: Beethoven was totally deaf at the age of 44.

he is just such an incredible man no one can describe his skill level

What a versatile and unconventional Beethoven was 🌸💮

Nice birthday present for me because l loved Beethoven’s music

Damn this was AWESOME! reminds me of that old video game ROCK BAND

Amazing video!!!

39 amazing🎉😮

Quando ele era jovem a melodia era alegre,quando vai ficando mais velho fica sombria e amarga

Wow thank you.

11 years old and he drippin in heat and having music bangers

Beethoven was (age 20) when Mozart died (age 35)

He has three arms.

Could you do one for Franz Liszt? I can help you gather the pieces together, he composed very influential works that opened the door to the impressionist era

3曲知ってた！ あとなんかドラクエで流れてそうって印象受けたよ。

symphony nighting is beautiful😢❤

piano im im so good of tis and piano are so good

ショパンの動画も拝見しましたが、ショパンは早熟でベートーヴェンは大器晩成な感じですね。並べて聞くと30歳辺りから一気に進化していくのが良く分かりますね。

Haha. That smile in the ending

By 55 he had just about got the hang of it...😁
