- Piano Sonata No. 2, Op. 36 in B♭ minor
00:00 - I. Allegro agitato (B♭ minor)
08:53 - II. Non allegro-Lento (E minor-E major)
16:14 - III. Allegro molto (B♭ major)
Three years after his third piano concerto was finished, Rachmaninoff moved with his family to a house in Rome that Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky had used. It was during this time in Rome that Rachmaninoff started working on his second piano sonata. However, because both of his daughters contracted typhoid fever, he was unable to finish the composition in Rome. Instead, Rachmaninoff moved his family on to Berlin in order to consult with doctors. When the girls were well enough, Rachmaninoff traveled with his family back to his Ivanovka country estate, where he finished the second piano sonata. Its premiere took place in Kursk on 18 October 1913 (5 October in the Julian calendar).
Composition
The sonata is in three interrelated movements:
Allegro agitato (B-flat minor)
Non allegro-Lento (E minor-E major)
Allegro molto (B-flat major)
It is unified by two Non allegro bridges between the movements. The outer movements follow
Original edition
First Movement (Allegro agitato)
The first movement of the second piano sonata is in sonata allegro form. The exposition begins with the first theme, which has a descending arpeggio that ends with a low B-flat octave followed by a B-flat minor chord. The first theme area lasts until a cadenza-like passage creates a bridge into the second theme area. The second theme is in D-flat major, with a chorale-like texture that contrasts with the brilliance of the first theme.
In the development section, which is split into three parts, there is much tonal instability with constantly changing key centers. Parts of this section use the left hand to imitate bells, with chromatic descending, alternating sevenths and thirds.
The recapitulation restates the first two themes in B-flat minor. The final section of an extension to the recapitulation alternates between B-flat major and B-flat minor, leaving the tonic unclear until the coda. The coda, clearly in B-flat minor, repeats two themes seen earlier in the movement.
Second Movement (Non allegro)
The second movement of the Piano Sonata is in two-part ternary form. A seven-measure interlude in G major links the first and second movements, after which there is a relative minor key area (E minor). The second movement's main theme is based on a motive of a sequentially repeated falling third.
WIKI.
The second movement references material from the first movement, which is the first instance of cyclic unity in the sonata. For example, in the middle-section of this movement, the bell texture from the first movement is reestablished.
Third Movement (Allegro molto)
The third movement begins with a repetition of the interlude to the second movement, with the meter shifted from 4/4 to 3/4. This movement, again in sonata-allegro form, further utilizes cyclic unity by using themes from the first movement. The transition to the second theme area of the exposition introduces a new theme (in D major), unusual in sonata-allegro form.
The development section, as in the first movement, is also split into three sub-sections. Similar to the exposition, it uses themes from the first movement in addition to the new themes introduced in the exposition.
The recapitulation is in B-flat major, and states the first theme from the third movement only once. It utilizes another past theme expansively to lead toward the coda. The coda utilizes themes from the first movement and is highly chromatic and brilliant.

I am not sure what's crazier.. that somebody composed this or that she can not only memorize this but also play it to perfection.
Playing is not a matter of memorizing the score, but of reflecting on life. I explain. Those who play and also those who listen, do so according to the life story of each one. Every time you play, you play under the influence of what you live and lived in real life. That is, the only memory that the interpreter uses is the memory of his own life story to interpret the music. The memorized scores practically cease to exist, it's as if the pianist doesn't even know how he is able to play such music, because the music itself has become a living substance in the pianist's soul and time. Likewise, for those who listen too. Only we will understand this. To those who listen to Lady Gaga, never. BUT, of course, I agree with you. I just wanted to philosophize. hahaha
@@rodrigo.magalhaes , хорошо отписался,- про гагУ: для некоторых мучительно.
Я не знаток( сказать более: даже в начальном уровне) но мне представляется,- что Лисица- лучшая пианистка, современности.
I love both😅Valentina Lisitsa and Lady Gaga... I could watch them for hours
I’m not sure what crazier bombing kids in another country or supporting it
she is not human. human cannot do it. that is why.
Вы просто великолепны. Нет слов. Браво 👏
Браво! Преклоняюсь! Обожаю!!! СПАСИБО!!!
What did we do to deserve this treat! Wow! From the opening chords onwards, absolutely majestic. This might be the recording that finally upends Horowitz 1968's recording of this sonata for me. Same intensity, power and playfulness. I'm so happy this video is released! Thanks Valentina!
Валентина,Творческих Успехов Вам и в дальнейшем нас радовать своей виртуозной и неповторимой игрой!
God, how much I needed to watch this today. This channel is gold.

I made it into the video description! 🙏 Thanks for the great video, Val
Actually I'm pretty sure the third movement begins at 15:39 with L'istesso tempo. That's because it also states attacca subito, which means that there is no pause between the previous movement and the next movement. But I understand the difference in views, because L'istesso tempo is still slow, which you don't expect to be the case for a 3rd movement. As for the performance: bravo Valentina! Exciting and very original and inspiring interpretation, congratulations!
15:39 is the third movement as the other guy have said, i bought the actual disc itself and yes 3rd movement starts there
wait im wrong lol 16:14 is the actual third movement after looking at kocsis's disc and horowitz too
Wonderful music and wonderful playing, Valentina! And thank you for the introduction.
L'arte di Valentina vola sopra tutto. È sempre meraviglioso ascoltarla.❤
Amazing performance! I've listened to you for many years. Keep it up, and don't worry too much about what people say
You see with your ears and hear with your eyes!
I have seen Valentina playing live in the Netherlands 5 years ago. She was great then already, but for the first time I recognise pianists are like wine, the more they mature the better it is. Valentina is getting better each year. ❤❤❤
Te echaba de menos por aquí. Gracias!!! Luego te veo y te escucho tranquilamente, pero los primeros segundos de tu Rachmaninov son impresionantes. 👏👏👏
Beautiful and talented!!!🌹🌹🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
EXCELSA! VALENTINA you're The most Talented Pianist in the whole history!!!
Sophie Menter, Anna Essipova, Theresa Carreno, Wang, Buniatishvili, Darré, Bruchollerie, Marguerite Long, Annie Fischer abd so on. Lisitsa is very good too, I adore her!
Remids me of that unkown (in Spain, at least) Lisitsa that shocked us youtube viewers with little red riding hood prelude by Rachmaninov, too. Same strenght, same lyrism in your hands and body language. TY so much
A technique as outrageously excellent as the sound it produces.
Thank you so much for posting :)
So incredible. No one comes can rival your amazing interpretation of Rachmaninov ❤
This musical offering is fresh and alive! It's a treat to hear Rachmaninoff's original version of this sonata. It seems there are more complex, contrapuntal interactions in parts. The final movement, especially the ending, is electrifying, as if anticipating the most enthusiastic applause imaginable.
Usted es mi pianista favorita, toca el piano asombrosamente, felicidades y éxitos en todo lo que emprenda. Gracias por subirlo a youtube.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ok this is now my favourite interpretation of this piece, wow.
It's so incredible it's tough to put words to. The video angles, editing, and lighting were great, too. Also thanks for the detailed summary.
凄い演奏！魅了されます😊

Valentina, your music is song and poetry! The best!
The way those hands caress and tackle those keys ... Wow, insane talent

Καλησπέρα Βαλεντίνα.. είναι πάρα πολύ ωραίο.σε ευχαριστώ που ομορφαίνεις την ψυχή μου.με την μουσική σου.μεσα στα προβλήματα που έχω ξεχνάω να ακούσω.κλασικη μουσική.να είσαι καλά που μου το θυμίζεισ.και μου φτιάχνεις την διάθεση.να είσαι καλά.καλο Σαββατοκύριακο.ΧΜΚ...
I am in awe of you. And it’s the 1913 version! Couldn’t have asked for a better gift today!!
Magnificent, both the composition and the performance. Love the whole piece but the last few minutes are supremely beautiful. As if it’s from another world.
So many emotions with each note and the movement of hands themselves👏👏👏 you can hear (and see) this is something really difficult to play
Thank you Valentina! You are great!
Спасибо Вам за столь чудесный подарок!
Brava!!!!!
Emotional and technically perfect rendition of this masterpiece. Congratulations, miss Valentina.❤
Валентина, с Днем Рождения! Много-много бодрых лет впереди, много-мнгого творчества, и благоприятных условий для реализации твореских идей!
...Жаль, работаю 1-го апреля. Услышать в Вашем исполнении все прелюдии СергейВасилича - мечта (((
Ждем новых анонсов концертов!
Stupendous
Very beautiful, very well done - thank you!
Bravo
50 year old cant imagine you've reached the half century but until today you've been the greatest pianist in my opinion. we all age and what does matters to keep up with the good things we had learned in life!! and here i see you have proved it, one touch on the keys making all us go crazy love you soo much ❤❤God bless you.
Why, 50 years is not much, just enough to understand something that is not clear for everyone.
Rude old man
@@gdkabsbdkwkwm4187 im not old I'm just 18 ok and I'm trying yo express my feeling for bec i like her a lot.. And sorry if this was just a joke. 😊

Просто Божественно! Спасибо!
Большое спасибо! Учитель Валентина!! ❤❤❤
Blows my mind 😅wow
thank you
MERAVIGLIOSA
Wonderful pianist…
gracias Vale!
thank you!
always a welcome surprise
Don't ever remember being a fan of this Sonata years ago. But the way she rendered it here, I am now! Will listen again...
I appreciate that the artist mostly shows his hands. This is how music should be valued. The musical intensity is amplified by the intensity of the connection between the artist and his instrument. Do this with all the videos you create and you will create a historical brand!
After experiencing a performance of hers, I'm always left with an a grin stretching from ear to ear, as my usually tense face just gradually melts away. Thanks for blessing us, we are grateful.
Interprétation hors-pair comme toujours avec Valentina ! De plus la présentation de l'œuvre est très précise et passionante.🌹
Great job!
That was incredible Valentina 😮😮😮❤❤❤❤
Beautifully played as ever, even though you look so unhappy, as thousands of us around the world share your unhappiness. Thank you for all you have given us😘
beautiful!!!
I admire your fabulous technique and your ability to look serene while alternately caressing and punishing the keys.
Bravo...
Oh my gosh yayyyy!!
I've been waiting for this for so long!!
Thank you Valentina!!😁
Edit: It was worth the wait!
Amazing performance and the camera amd sound work is wonderful
Better interpreter ever
Becoming an artist is not easy at all but staying as an artist is the hardest one to accomplish!! And you are few of the people in the world who manages to stay as a true artist! Love you Val 💙💙💙
Your literally an icon oml.
Fantastica!
Thank you for uploading this recording! Nice start for the weekend. =)
Sublime... como siempre. Gracias!
Such a talent! Val, you are the best!
Woo, glad to see a new video from Valentina in repertory she pretty much *owns!* I'll be listening to this *carefully* tonight.... probably several times.
I think the piano probably refused to open its door for a while out of a need for rest after this. So much passion and very Rachmaninoff.
Fantàstica!! 🥰🎹
Эти руки❤️🔥проводники божественного❤️🔥пламенная душа❤️🔥непокоренная вершина❤️🔥
I am delighted to see a new video posted. Ive been really sad about everything thats happened in the last few years. An injustice! Bravo Valentina! Shes the best of our generation in my mind, and i wish her good fortune in the near future. Not all westerners are blind.
Как же прекрасно. Просто потрясающе.
Belle , Belle, Belle, Valentina, ...,.. ,..💘💝💗💞💕
Wonderful !
Просто прекрасно!
❤❤
I've been waiting to hear you play this work!
Sublime❤
Как долго я ждал услышать ее в вашем исполнении!
This particular expression is coming from the expressor of the human: the soul's heart, but sounds like there's some peace missing from the expression. I've played in like expression before (not the skill, just the numbing pain) and wished I had recorded it if only to remember that time. So, in light of this my somewhat presumptive observation, I would hear this again, but loudly, at midnight, on a Monday, on my stereo and not on my phone 😊. Thank you Valentina for this (forgive me) raw and bloody steak that is, if I may be quietly bold, waiting for some heat. I could "hear" the rendition I was thirsting for within it...but it was, to me, dimly obscured in the deeps, within a heart that would be most welcome in many ways.
Beatiful, for ever ❤
Bless you for your dedication, the endless hours of practice, and your willingness to share this glorious, transcendent music with people like me. ❤❤❤
Beuatiful!❤
wow
My beautiful Valentina - mesmerizing and incredibly talented as always.
I love you.
Please come Japan!
