- Beethoven Piano Sonata Op 109 No 30 in E major by Anastasia Huppmann
Beethoven Sonata Op 109
Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30 in E major Op. 109 is the antepenultimate of his piano sonatas. In it, after the huge Hammerklavier Sonata, Op. 106, Beethoven returns to a smaller scale and a more intimate character. It is dedicated to Maximiliane Brentano, the daughter of Beethoven's long-standing friend Antonie Brentano, for whom Beethoven had already composed the short Piano Trio in B♭ major WoO 39 in 1812. Musically, the work is characterised by a free and original approach to the traditional sonata form. Its focus is the third movement, a set of variations that interpret its theme in a wide variety of individual ways.
That has been much speculated and philosophized about the character of the individual keys. Often it has also been doubted whether the keys have any meaning at all.
But it is precisely in the last three piano sonatas of Beethoven, which in a certain way may be regarded as a pianistic summary of Beethoven's world of ideas, that the choice of keys is certainly no coincidence, but well-considered.
This becomes clear when one recalls the role played by the keys in Beethoven's only opera, Fidelio. C minor and C major stand for the evil and the good, for tyranny and freedom, for darkness and light, for hell and heaven.
In the same opera, Fidelio, E major is the key of Leonore, who in the E major part of her great aria climbs into heroic pathos of loving self-sacrifice. The idea of salvation through the "eternal feminine" (Goethe) is certainly also reflected in Beethoven's mysterious "immortal lover". Against this background, it can hardly be a coincidence that the Sonata op. 109, dedicated to "Miss Maximiliana Brentano", is in the key of E major.
One of my great teachers, Paul Badura-Skoda uses to say to this sonata:
“The music is a woman, a woman is the music intended. - Stay, you are too beautiful, seems to be the secretive message. The root E lingers throughout the sonata. If the harmony lingers on long stretches, then all love and care must be given to the garlands, the embellishment of the melody. As changeable as the valuation of the word beauty may be. In no sonata did Beethoven spread her cornucopia richer. "
This movement consists of a theme with six variations of differing character and piano technique.
Theme
The movement opens with a 16-bar theme. The dotted notes emphasise the second beat of the bar, giving this song-like theme something of the character of a Sarabande.
Variation 1
This variation keeps the tempo of the theme. Compared with the quartet-like theme, it is more pianistic. The melody is an octave higher, thereby becoming more emotional. It is formed like a "ceremonial Waltz".
Variation 2
This variation is marked leggiermente. Whereas the theme and first variation were a binary phrase structure, here we have three variations collated and presented as one. The first texture is a call and response which strongly recalls the beginning of the first movement. The second is a two-voice canon in the right hand over a steady quaver accompaniment.
Variation 3 (allegro vivace)
This variation breaks away from the original tempo and is marked allegro vivace. It replaces the theme's 3/4 time signature with 2/4. It is a virtuosic Allegro in a two-part contrapuntal texture reminiscent of a two-part invention. This is the only variation in this movement to end on forte.
Variation 4
This variation is a little slower than the theme ("etwas langsamer, als das thema. un poco meno andante ciò è un poco più adagio come il tema."). It is in 9/8 time. The first half (repeated) is a contrapuntal texture varying between two and four voices. In the second half, between zero and two voices continue in the same vein over an accompaniment of broken chords.
Variation 5 (allegro ma non troppo)
After variation 4, Beethoven abandons numbering the variations and just provides tempo indications at the head of the remaining ones. The reasons are unknown. In spite of this, it is usual to refer to the remaining variations as numbers 5 and 6.
According to Udo Zilkens, the driving rhythmic energy of the fifth variation gives the impression, at least to begin with, of a complex, many-voiced chorale-like fugue.
Variation 6 (tempo primo del tema)
In extreme contrast to the energy and speed of the previous variation, this one begins with a four-bar passage marked cantabile, in quiet, slow crotchets at the tempo of the theme. Its peaceful, static character is emphasised by the repeated B in the top voice.

It's one of my favorite sonatas of Beethoven. I downloaded the score, printed the first pages of this movement and this is the piece that I start at the piano. This music is beautiful to play. I would be very happy if I could play this whole movement. This music resonates in me. Thank you very much
Your talent is unsurpassed, you caress the piano. Keep up the great work.
This is a spirit of music in your magic fingers. I wish to see a live concert, where it takes place.
Thank You Anastasia, I Am a Subscriber. :)

Magnificent stimulation for both ears and eyes! Appreciate giving the ability for us to enjoy your mastery.
You know , when you play there is only two voices that can translate the emotion that you project. That's Annie Lennox and Maria McKee. Wow ! The music in my head, thank you Dear Lady.

Wonderful in everything. Piano Masterclass for ears and eyes. God is experiencing himself through you, Miss Huppmann.
Anna, it has left me speechless! Completely abstract in musical interpretation and immersed in the textual description of what it is to understand a genius from the perspective of a genius. Thank you.

🙏
Anastasia.... I so much waited for this. Thank you. ❤❤❤
You are intelligent! Only now I can well appreciate why you selected this sonata to record and why this recording is released only now! The thumbnail photo on this recording is very gorgeous.
Apart from unparalleled mastery of performing Beethoven sonatas, you are no less knowledgable as an expert in theory of music. I am sure you have a lot to share on this with the world. Consider writing a monograph. Seriously!
The quotations from your teacher and informative analysis on the six variations of the main theme underneath is very very readable. I have never seen such viewpoints anywhere else. This helps me to get a clear translation of the universal language called Music.
It would be nice to see all these three movements in a single video. Similarly, you should expand and publish the scattered write ups once you are done for all sonatas, hopefully soon.
Would you play and analyze them all? Please do this for Appassionata at least.
And coming to Beethoven's Leonore... While that is closely a personal story, I do not see an immediate connection to this sonata.
I think it would have been nice to have instructional videos of various compositions with themes and analyses presented on piano. We are interested to hear compositions or improvisations of your own, too.
Sorry Anastasia for writing too much. I know it takes a while for you to read so much text and so many numerous comments from all your fans and followers.
I am just too excited, not to talk a lot... although I wish we could
😊☕
"Stay, you are very beautiful."
🙏
Brutal Baby :-)
Echt wunderschoen, vielen Dank.
Liebe Grueße

It is a music to listen to with your eyes closed but when you wake up from the dream Isabel appears and the dream materializes in a beautiful girl who caresses the piano divinely.
How not to dream of being her piano to be stimulated by her to exploit her beauty.
🙏
Anastasia Huppmann 🌹
Always a pleasure and a treat to watch you play over the years. Calms my soul. Thanks Ana....
Bravo!
La Sonate pour piano no 30 en mi majeur, opus 109, de Ludwig van Beethoven, fut composée en 1820. Le compositeur la dédia à Maximiliana Brentano. :Anastasia par son interpretation sublime nous en apporte toute l'authenticité

Excellent, magnificent and beautiful performance Anastasia !!!
🙏
Magnifique interprétation ! L'artiste est habitée par la musique du compositeur auquel elle fait honneur. La musique est une chose spirituelle qui parle à l'âme. J'ai vraiment envie de me confronter à cette partition, même si je ne pense pas pouvoir accéder un jour à un niveau professionnel. Une oeuvre à écouter et réécouter...
🙏
Beautiful As Springtime !!!!!!

Nice. Thnx.

So meditative and romantic. Makes time stand still. Wish it could go on forever and forever. Oh if I were only 60 years younger. Perhaps a coffee and a sweet? God bless you, my dear! 🙏🙏😉
Beautiful in every way.

Podchodzę do okna, czuję powietrze nasycone chłodną mgłą, obmywa moją twarz, delikatni podnosząc moje powieki na szeroki horyzont , ogarniając powoli co raz czystszy obraz, oczom mojej duszy .....

Anastasia Huppmann ❤❤💕
Once again I am enjoying your sensible handling of the piano !
👍🏻
Amazing as always Ms. Huppmann, greetings from Argentina
🙏
Seriously ... I saw your email to say there was a new video and I stopped everything at once to come and listen and to look :-) The performance is ( as always ) impeccable and the variation notes are most informative!
Of course music is to 'listen to' and yet seeing Anastasia's hands at work and the deep and different expressions as she plays ... It adds something for which I do not have words!
Thank you seems so little ...
🙏
Für Elize Für Elize Betthoven ist schönn. Erstes Platz hat F.Chopin. In seiner Musik ist alles Liebe,Tanzer,Traurigkeit, Wut, Freude, Fantasie, Melancholie
