You can almost hear the stages of grief imitated in music in this piece: 0:04: Shock/Denial 0:49: Pain/Guilt 1:50: Anger/Bargaining 5:20: Depression/Reflection/Loneliness 6:11: The Upward Turn 8:27: Acceptance
This is the best performance of Beethoven Pathetique period. It is the best interpretation I have ever heard. Barenboim is a master the artistry that went into this performance is incredible.
Stan Lyman no its not he exaggerates so much and in the trill section uses so much rubato almost sounds like his English. no offense to barenboim, I think his dynamic is near perfect sometimes but not everything else
I have a vinyl recording of Barenboim playing this when he was much younger. Even with some of the extremely talented pianists in the present era, I can't really think of anybody who was better than him, a truly brilliant pianist.
You have to have great physical strength to play this. Your hands have to be able to endure long passages of fiery expression. This is an extremely clean and pristine rendition.
It helps to lift 10 lb weights fairly often. The Pathetique is a walk in the park compared to the Appassionata, especially the bass, m.s. parts. Try the adagio to begin with on both sonatas.
it's so tough to keep the allegro molto e con brio part soft...yet barenboim does it so masterfully and still keeps the passage so well-articulated. perfect.
@@nikkd7636 taking gcses and already at this level? You guys are seriously impressive! Meanwhile I'm taking my A levels this year, and am still struggling with mov. 3
I keep coming back to this - Even with a a few small technical things, it just seems like this guy is in the mind of Beethoven --- like this is how Beethoven would play this today, were he alive. Most excellent.
It is a disservice to everyone to use the label "best performance", etc., in fact of all classical composers would not Beethoven be the most pleased by others' passionate interpretation of his work?
the best best best best!! topflighter!!! thank you! barenboim beethoven yorumlarına bayılıyorum ve beethoven gibi bir dahi iyi ki dünyaya gelmiş bizler de hem böylesin müthiş eserlerini dinleyebiliyoruz hem de çalabiliyoruz çalmaya çalısıyorum kısasa:)en sevdiğim piyano sonatı...no:8 pathetique... her bölümü 1-2-3 hepsi müthişşş....
I found the sheet music for this in my piano bench once again. I haven't played this in about 8 years and my fingers are so rusty. I've been classically trained at piano for about 18 years now. Sucks how reality gets in the way of my playing.
He's just my role model. I am playing this piece of music myself, but I keep thinking that nobody would be better than Barenboim on playing Beethoven :)
I'm playing this right now! I just learned it; it's definitely one of my favorite songs. I'm 12 BTW so I think it's a really good accomplishment to play this as well as he does. :) thanks for reading this, if you did :)
i feel so happy to learn this piece. this is my favourite execution of pathetique. can someone please tell me the tempo mr barenboim is playing at? with metronome marking? thanks in advance :)
No, a 'piano sonata' usually has three movements, typically a fast 1st mvt in sonata-form, a slow 2nd and fast 3rd mvt. 'Sonata-form' has exposition, development and recapitulation sections. For example, mvt. 2 is in a different key, tempo and has completely unrelated themes to mvt. 1. Hope this helps!
This is the same piece that George's girlfriend plays when Jerry puts the Pez dispenser on Elaine's purse during her performance. It's a lovely combo of this beautiful music and one of my favorite Seinfeld moments.

Imagine how many hours Barenboim have practiced this piece, to be able to give us 9 minutes of pure perfection
Don’t forget about movement 2 and 3
And the other 31 sonatas
I played this for my mock GCSE music when I was 15. I did okay but er it wasn’t a patch on this ❤❤❤
@@joannakneafsey1964 wahou !

I once saw a five year-old playing air guitar to this...that's when you know it's timeless.

Pathetique Sonata : 5 stages of grief

For sure! Beethoven was the best at playing emotions imo
@Сергей i dont think you understand what the word ‘literally’ means
Im 14 and I also played Sonata Pathetique 1st movement on my channel! It would help if you could check it out!

Get hold of an old recording from Wilhelm Backhaus. Make sure to have plenty of kleenex at hand :)
@@SeEyMoReBuTtS Yeah.You can tell he is enjoying himself all right.

Theresa Heidel i can't feel my hands when i'm done playing this i swear
Do some forearm exercises, that's not good. I play this and is not that extenuating.
You get used to it after a while

You don't need all that strength. This is being played way faster than originally intended by Beethoven.
He started to perform this sonata in 1964 and still he plays it with such emotion... He should live for 200 + years !
WOW that was good. He even emulated the lack of sustain beethoven had at the time. Excellent dynamics and wonderful use of rubato. What a pleasure.
I was wondering about that (the pedal) interesting... i like it :D
Best nine minutes and twenty nine seconds of my life.
this is an incredibly talented man performing the work of a genius. it's mindblowing
Saying "Not even one dislike!" on a youtube video is the SUREST way of insuring that it gets an avalanche of dislikes within the next few seconds.
goldenthroat86 Jesus Christ that's so true
Oh dear! Isn’t it pathétique?
What a glorious piece of music.
Beethoven was the first metal head.
uh actually im pretty sure not. theer has been alot of statues made of metal before him
i dont think so,Vivaldi was too
That may account for his continuing popularity :D
No way man, Beethoven was a jazzer. Bach was the metalhead
ToadGaming That's either a really bad joke, or you're just abysmally stupid.
it's so tough to keep the allegro molto e con brio part soft...yet barenboim does it so masterfully and still keeps the passage so well-articulated. perfect.
Oh, God...why did I decide to learn this piece?! XD
How's that going?
Not bad, though I had to abandon it, much to my chagrin.
how old are u

Barenboim: one of the greatest pianists to bring back classical music in today's era.
This was my pièce de résistance for my final piano recital. It's a testament to my good instructors.
8:07 is the Succession part if you’re looking for it
you're from heaven right
Noone understood Beethoven music more than Barenboim! I love it listening to him!
Error: Listen to Claudio Arrau.

Awesome,studying this for my GCSEs
Me too. How did it go? I have my mock a week on Tuesday
my mocks today ahhh

@@ColorOfIZONE good luck!
This is an incredible performance. I'm learning it right now, so I like listening to different interpretations of it. This one is by far the best.
fierce yet gentle and emotional at the same time..
smart but dumb at the same time
+ToadGaming Excuse me?
@@ToadGamingSubscribeIf you don't appreciate classical msuic like us, please keep it to yourself.
This is a fantastic piece to play in the room before the boss.
Remember, it's only the beta.
@@thunderknight4149 but it's still a badass theme 😎
@@TTChopper848 Now what would the final version sound like?
@@thunderknight4149 way worse. Who did they hire to choose the music? The beta version should've been used
I absolutely LOVEEEE this!!! I’ve learned this first movement but Barenboim’s interpretation and emotion is beautiful!!! Wish I could play this well!!
Man SiIvaGunner has some taste in his jokes
What???
Hehehe I get it
Yes
Now I cant't hear this masterpiece without remind Boshi fighting against Raphael the Raven!!
Yeah this is that one
This man definitely plays this piece the best compared to all of the other ones I've watched on TH-cam.
OMG!~ This is amazing !~ The best 1st mov of Pathetique I have ever heard
After listening to Barenboim's interpretation, I honestly feel that this is how Beethoven wanted this piece to be played.
Beautiful, simply just beautiful.
I listent it again and again...it always
makes me cry
Pretty sure this piece saved my life yesterday.
He makes it look so easy to play ! Oh my God !... Such a master !
thank you for the sound quality
This is so amazing. Such emotion!
I am learning this now :-) Thanks for posting because I like learning by ear (and music sheets, of course)!
I am playing this for my exam at the end of the year. The more I watch this video, the more I think I won't get my diploma.
i know it’s been 8 years, but did you get your diploma?
@@zerrinaa Haha finally I did :p
Mr. Lobotomy Sound oh HELLL YEAAAH congrats dude!!
@@mrlobotomysoundwhat score?
Whew! That was absolutely amazing. I would have given anything to see that live.
The best performance I’ve heard 👏🏼👏🏼
Wow! so beautiful, just loved it!
I always had fun playing the hand over hand part at 2:24. This brings back memories of my teenage years.
Absolutely beautiful!
One of the pieces of music that alone was worth coming into this world.
I've been listening this for n-times!
This is pathetique.
Hi there! I am you 2 years later. I don't expect a response. Hope you're doing well.

Noah Johnson Not sure why,
but you made my day :D
hi there, I am not you 2 years later. I expect a response. Hope you're doing well. Haon
And you got one. Happy?
what's pathetic about this?
An excellent performance from Maestro Barenboim
i am not worthy to critique
We are to pathetique :)

Wonderful!
This performance is just perfect, I personally think Barenboim is the best pianist nowadays
anyone like him to play Beethoven
If you go to 8:06 and listen at half speed you get the Secession theme.
Finally!! Someone who plays these pieces at the right speed! I'm so tired of listening to people rush through this sonata.
the best best best best!!
topflighter!!!
thank you!

It’s just wonderful.
love both movements!
What a fantastic man
UN maesstro! fantastico Barenboim interpretando Bethoven
This is a great version.
Beautiful!
Learning this one.. simply amazing! Well.. not so simple.. Darn Beethoven.. Gotta love it!
I'm analyzing this piece for my form and analysis class. I love this recording!
He's just my role model. I am playing this piece of music myself, but I keep thinking that nobody would be better than Barenboim on playing Beethoven :)
he hates jews lol
this is one of the best dj's ive seen in awhile
THIS IS MY FAVORITE CLASSICAL PIECE EVER
LIKE A SNAKESKIIIN! (8)

Ah, so amazing, if I do say so myself. I feel like he really shows us how to play Beethoven's Sonata Pathetique.
That's because Moonlight Sonata was unique. In normal cases, it's what Daniel said...
1st: fast
2nd: slow
3rd: fast
Reading this comment with no context is very confusing.
Daniel may not be the Best, but he is certainly amongst the best. I could watch him for hours...and have.
brilliant! love those tremolos
love this. best movement
i love Beethoven's music !!!!!!
Ludwig van was the original throw-down, rock out, bad-ass...
btw, this is Clarice Starling's favorite interpretation ...
AMAZING i am truly amazed with the speed he has =)
The best rendition of all times...
Best version of this piece
Thanks for your words! Have a nice day.
flawlessss!
My favourite omgg can't deal
E belissimo che interpretazione che forza che tecnica che raffinatezza.....Bravo.
I'm playing this right now! I just learned it; it's definitely one of my favorite songs. I'm 12 BTW so I think it's a really good accomplishment to play this as well as he does. :) thanks for reading this, if you did :)
you should be 19 right now, thats crazy how are you? idek if you’ll see this but maybe being reminded will give you some nostalgia. hi!!
This is awesome.
Kind of feel like emulating this for my performance. Probably my fave recording of this movement.
wow what a performance! the best for this movement in my opinion
Such an intelligent person....and the way he plays is magnifique!!! 33
What a great master!
i feel so happy to learn this piece. this is my favourite execution of pathetique. can someone please tell me the tempo mr barenboim is playing at? with metronome marking? thanks in advance :)
inspirational performance. bravo!
simplly....wonderfull..!!
so awesome.
I'm going to start this piece. I look forward.
choosing what to play at my piano recital- this, the moonlight or the waldstein. this gets my vote!
TOTALLY TRUE LISTEN TO THIS AWESOME QUOTE!!!
