man you did not just drop this monster of a piece. other youtube pianists won't even dare to touch anything except for the giant chords at the beginning.
WHAT THE ?!? the whole hammerklavier sonata being uploaded is insane man. You should be very proud of yourself as this is a monumental achievement. Great job. Even one movement of the sonata would have been amazing let alone all 4
I am highly impressed by your recording. Beethoven's monumental Hammerklavier sonata, about which he said that "No one will be able to play it in next 50 years". Btw when I hear this pasage 20:15 - 22:37 I always say that it is one of the most beautiful moments in whole music history. But You did something that only few people were able to do! Even though it's so long, it sounded very clean without any big mistakes. You shall be proud of this one!
Thanks so much for your comment. It’s certainly a monumental sonata, and I agree with you about that sublime passage in the slow movement. I’m glad you liked my recording 🙏 😊 🎶
Thanks for the advice - I agree with you certainly for the slow movement where I tried to create a very calm atmosphere to contrast with the rest, but it could have done with more rubato. Next time…
The way you played the fugue so good and peacefully is just amazing I know for a fact only a few people play the fugue, and they say it's hard, but you played it like it was nothing. your just like Daniel Barenboim.
Thanks so much for your message!! I’m glad you liked the way I play the fugue - I can’t say it feels like it’s nothing when playing it though 😉 - and thanks for the comparison to Barenboim, even if he is light years ahead of me technically and musically… Thanks again for your encouragement 🙏 😊 🎶
I heard the whole piece during a special concerto in a church of my city. The pianist, before playing, insisted about how this is a huge piece from Beethoven that was even considered "unplayable" during its time. Congratulation for the achievement :) In this piece, you can hear a lot of style, a lot of genre, a lot of inspiration, and a lot of precursion. This is an amazing piece of art for music !
Commenting while still watching this mammoth of a sonata, you're doing a great job, your channel is truly a gem, really appreciate your hard work! Keep it up!
Well done Priceless! This is a monumental achievement for the piano community. It’s rare to see a complete performance of the Hammerklavier, let alone by a synthesia pianist. And your interpretation is wonderful, its both touching and triumphant. Remember me when you have a million subscribers!
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic comments 🙏 😊 🎶 Yes, of course I’ll remember you if I get a million subscribers - but it may be some time - only 400 for the moment 😉
As has been said before, I will say it again: This is an achievement of monumental scale. Very well done. This is an incredible video and will live down as an incredible performance. You deserve much more recognition.

@@PriceLesS-nf1zd Thank YOU a lot for the great content, seriously! :D For some many content creators it would take something as great as a "1 million subscribers special" for them to play this sonata, congratulations!

Yes - I guess you’re right. My reasoning for crossing hands, apart from just making it easier, is the possibility to get a more powerful low Bb than with the left hand 5th finger. But I think you’re right about it being part of the spirit of the piece…
Grande idée que de montrer les mains du pianiste du haut et non son visage son crâne, sa nuque, une femme dans le public, le piano...

Merci infiniment pour ce message qui m’a fait bien plaisir! Je suis d’accord que c’est bien plus intéressent de voir les mains du pianiste qu’autre chose dans ce genre de vidéo. J’entends bien pour les effets visuels - je devrais peut-être trouver quelque chose de plus adapté, ou simplement laisser les mains et le clavier - à réfléchir…
Huh! This is an insane feat, will be listening for the next 40 minutes but a strong start! One of my favourite of Beethoven's sonatas, something to be very proud of!!
😊 Thanks so much for your comment and for listening all the way through ! It felt like quite a feat recording all the movements but pleased to have done it…
I actually think it's kind of funny that Beethoven sonatas aren't that popular, especially the Hammerklavier, which is tediously long to listen to and painfully difficult to play, so I never thought it would beat the algorithm! Hahaha, anyway, I'm so glad so many people recognized you!
Yes - I know. I wasn’t expecting so much interest in the Hammerklavier either! But I’m not complaining 😉 Thanks so much for your continued support and encouragement 🙏 😊
@@PriceLesS-nf1zd Hammerklavier is one of those things where you won't draw much attention from those who are not already in the classical scene, but you will absolutely grab the attention of everyone who is
This straight up sounds like Rachmaninoff. Not to mention, do you guys hear those ragtime-like scales in some of the passages? Those were influences from the composer N.P. Hummel, a friend of Beethoven and also one of Mozart's students.
Wow, having the musicality to understand the last movement, but also the technical skill to express it so clearly as well is amazing!! I normally find myself lost and distracted when listening to this bit, but your interpretation was amazing and never lacking direction or clarity, so good!! Hope to see more (request for Beethoven's last sonata (no.32 op.111)) please!!
Wow - thanks for your comment. I had trouble understanding the last movement for a long time, and certainly haven’t grasped it completely, but that means a lot to me if you’re hearing some clarity and the direction through the movement. 😊 🙏🎶
Thank you !! 🙏 😊 🎶 2 reasons for the left hand crossover: the first is that it allows you to play the bottom Bb with more power than the 5th finger of the left hand. The second is that it’s easier 😉 When you start playing this piece there’s a high risk, for me anyway, of fumbling at least one of those leaps in the 1st movement - this gives you a bit of much needed confidence when starting this sonata…
Great recording! How hard do you think this is compared to Liszt Transcendental Etudes? I'm not good at the piano so there's no way for me to tell on my own, and I couldn't find anything online.
Thanks! 😊 🙏 🎶 I suppose they’re a different kind of difficulty - the Hammerklavier has awkward parts and needs stamina to play, whereas the Transcendental Studies are more outwardly virtuosic, but obviously extremely difficult to play….
That’s a very good question. Liszt B minor sonata is certainly more outwardly virtuosic and needs some serious technique to perform, but the Hammerklavier has quite a lot of awkward passages and in my opinion is harder to grasp musically, as well as the stamina required to perform it live. But both very challenging pieces to play…
Thank you!! 🙏 😊 🎶 Yes, I would certainly change a lot in the last movement if I did it again - and, you’re right that it needs more dynamics. Glad you liked the other movements.
never thought i'd see a hammerklavier synthesia
