Maestro, I just wanted to say, you are the best pianist I have ever heard! I am a disabled vet on a fixed income, so I have no chance of ever hearing you play in person. But I know good playing when I hear it, and I've NEVER, in 62 years, ever heard better! Particularly with Beethoven sonata #13. God bless you , sir, for giving the world such a priceless gem of music!
Thank you very much for your illuminating observations on the Moonlight Sonata. As someone who started playing the piano very late in life (age 46), they give me a better understanding of the effect Beethoven might have had in mind. I would like to add that listening to your renditions of Beethoven's music is absolutely thrilling!
The hypnotism of grief. One of the most fascinating elements of musical interpretation for me is to discover the mind of the composer and explore possible narratives of the work.
J'ai tours considéré que Beethoven était un musicien les pieds dans le classique et la tête dans un romantisme nouveau, très puissant, mais pas du tout dans une guimauve bėlante comme on voudrait nous faire croire avec ce titre de sonate au clair de lune. J e suis enchantée de vos explications si judicieuses et professionnelles; cette référence à Mozart ne fait que conforter mon image de Beethoven successeur direct de Mozart et de Haydn.

Daniel's version is the best I have ever heard. Amazing dynamics and emotion are put into the often-overlooked first movement, so much so that I mentally place myself at Lake Lucerne on a cold winter night watching the clouds slowly traverse the moon with the passage of each section. Although I am a longtime Rock keyboardist with no musical training, I have taught piano for the last 12 years, and my Classical students are implored to listen to Daniel's rendition of this and other pieces. I once glimpsed (a copy of) Beethoven's original hand-written manuscript of the first movement. I noticed that all the arpeggios are written using leggiero style (small) notes while the octave themes used normal size notes. I personally believe Beethoven wanted the player to keep these arpeggios in the background for most of the piece while highlighting the main octave theme. I definitely hear this implemented to some extent in Daniel's version but in no others. I employ this technique and I ask my students to do so as well as it really brings out the beauty of the theme while at the same time making the piece less robotic.
Herzlichen Dank, Herr Barenboim!👏🏻👏🏻 Der wiederholende, einfache, komplexe Klang des Lebens, welches unaufhörlich marschiert und träumt durch alle Zeiten des Seins. So verstehe ich dieses Werk, von Beethoven.
You are awesone and A Master..wish there was an entire documentary on your work. Iam farely new to this kind of music but iam thoroughly enjoying it. Sgaron from South Africa
100 pour cent d'accord, j'ai toujours assimilé ce mouvement à la mort, et certainement pas à un sentimental clair de lune ! Barenboim et René Duchable sont les deux musiciens qui analysent le mieux Beethoven !
❤ Yo toco todos los días el primer movimiento desde que falleció mi amada Madre, porque le gustaba mucho y es lo primero que hago al levantarme para honrarla y nunca me canso de tocarlo ni de oírlo.
Danke. Ihre musikalischen Highlights und Ihr Zugang werden mich in einer schweren ChemotherapieZeit als Zusatzmedikation für meine Seele gut begleiten. danke. allein die Vorfreude wirkt sich gut auf mein Gemüt aus.
ADMIRABLE DANIEL BARENBOIM . GRAN MAESTRO Y MEJOR PERSONA.- ESTUPENDO SU ANALISIS, JUSTO Y CLARO. QUEDAMOS EMBELESADOS CON SUS INTERPRETACIONES. DANIEL ES ARGENTINO Y DEL MUNDO TODO.- ESTAMOS ESPERANDO UN NUEVO CONCIERTO EN BUENOS AIRES.- DANIEL.... !! EXCELENTE MAESTRO !! .-
Thanks a lot Maestro .... Before you i played this piece imagining stones floating above german forest through clouds .... now i feel and play this piece same way i feel Trio op100 Schubert .... and it's sound more true ... You understand Beethoven so well. Thanks to exist in this world.
What can one say? This is a truly beautiful and excellently delivered 5 minute sample of this famous piece; surely, no one could possibly dislike this excellent extract and the manner through which it has been so well delivered.
What a pleasure to observe someone speaking so candidly, from an entire lifetime's worth of experience of great music, and to watch him frame his comments with such care, so unhurried in his desire to speak clearly and succinctly. Bravo, maestro!
This so called moonlight sonata with all three movements reminds me a death of a person, like a film strating from the end: First part is Post Funeral scilence, second tells about the youth and limited joy, third is definately struggle for life and at the end life takes over, after all death is not the worst thing that occures to a person, presto is a real heroism and here we human beings prove our eternity by marking our steps: we pass away but our steps are there indeed beethoven left his own and that way proved his eternity. Thanks dear Daniel for it ❤ And thanks for playing Mozart piece that influenced this sonata
Thank you so very much for this splendid video. You have allowed me to interpret this wonderful work of Bethoven in a new light. Again, THANK YOU !!! 🤔🤔🤔
Sono video evidentemente creati per coinvolgere gente non propriamente innamorata della musica classica.. che forse a malappena ascolterei ascolterebbero 5 minuti.. grande iniziativa.
En mi concepto el maestro Barenboin es el pianista que ha interpretado de mejor y más fiel manera la música de Beethoven y es el más grande pianista vivo. Ya tiene un lugar en la historia de la música.
Really every time i listen to the first movement of this piano sonata, I can noy see any match with moonlight, the maestro is absolutely wright , I am surprise that Beethoven wrote that sketch from that scene of Don Giovanni, and exactly the same. WOW WOW WOW
This video gave me a new view on Moonlight Sonata.I never felt or heard it as a "funeral march". I like being inspired by new ideas of hearing. Thank you so much for this! Classical music needs people like you: Serious speaking, but not only for people who studied music. Respecting the pieces but not hiding their character from the hearers by using cryptic language. Using (social) networks in a responsible way. Thank you so much!
Moonlight Sonata is true beauty. I have never had a mental picture of a funeral in connection with this. Something so beautiful cannot (in my mind) be connected to something like death. It may be wrong, but that is the way I like to keep it personally.
I think he's right about the first movement and the martial quality, and the funeral dirge quality of it. Who named it, and why, we may never know, but it does affect the way it's played. I like Daniel's interpretation, and his playing is just too excellent to believe.
I could watch these videos all day. They are each brilliant and thought-provoking. I find myself absolutely mesmerized by his explanations and examples. I only wish they were longer! I would pay for a subscription to watch a longer series presented by this musical master.
Gracias . soy de un pueblito de Córdoba Argentina .. y sus interpretaciones , explicaciones , su mirada del mundo me hace mejor la vida . gracias Daniel.
It's in the main hall of the Schiller theater in Berlin, nowdays the place of Barenboïm's Staatsoper Unter den linden (because of the restauration works in the Staatsoper Unter den linden theater).
He has pulled the Moonlight Sonata back to where it should be with dignity and beauty. If only more musicians were like him, concentrating on the music more than themselves. 👍👍 His interpretations are faultless.
Wish you'd come to New Zealand and conduct our NZSO and if we were lucky enough to have you hold a masterclass. After 30+ years in the popular music business, successfully producing, playing, writing etc, I returned to classical roots when my dad died some years ago and I took possession of the old family piano. I play 5 Beethoven Sonatas, aspiring to the Gold Standard set by yourself, (in my opinion) you are the greatest interpreter of Beethoven of all time. Maybe it's the warm weather here but currently I'm in love all over again with the Pastorale sonata. Rubinstein once said the most vital thing in music is soul and I agree, and it's all about how you make people feel when listening to a performance, at least that's my take on things.
Master Barenboim, thank you very much for teaching me about this beautiful work. I am already a man over sixty years old, from my childhood I always stated that at my funeral the only thing heard was the first movement of the Moonlight sonata of L v Beethoven (Quasi a fantasy). With total respect and admiration, a hug in the distance. 🤗😀 God bless you. 🙏🎹🎼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hello daniel Baenboim. i am Gilad Haclili from israel. as a boy in my kibbutz NaaN - Israel , we have plyed this beginning of moonlghit sonata in the memorial ceremony every year' so it is connecting very much to your explanation about the funeral feeling in this music. you solved my contrast feeling between moonlight music atmosphere' and funeral sadness . thank you very much for that and for all great moment of your playing and music making.

I suggest to make it about 10 minutes or maybe 15 minutes!!! What you present here isn't enough... It could be more than that. 😍
Why not 20 or 60? I think the point of these is to make them quick and summarize within 5 minutes some highlights not to go in depth in anyway

It is always best to leave dining table feeling you had room for a little more.

One of the most fascinating elements of musical interpretation for me is to discover the mind of the composer and explore possible narratives of the work.
What a stunning player.... my jaw hit the desk on that last run.
The most invaluable 5-minutes for piano players. Thank you, Maestro Barenboim
I could listen to you play the third movement every day of my life and never tire of it.
J'ai tours considéré que Beethoven était un musicien les pieds dans le classique et la tête dans un romantisme nouveau, très puissant, mais pas du tout dans une guimauve bėlante comme on voudrait nous faire croire avec ce titre de sonate au clair de lune.

My goodness! Those five minutes sure did fly. Thanks a lot for these insightful comments on such a magnificent piece.

The third movement ls Rock ! Some kind of Riff. Beethoven was so modern !
as a big artist from Argentina (Charly Garcia) said once: "Beethoven was the first heavy metal"

Maestro, please make a video about the art of fugue of J.S. Bach.
In only five minutes?? That masterpiece would need at least five hours to cover.
Bach played piano?
Well, Bach did try out an early fortepiano by Silbermann in the 1740s.
Why when Gould already discusses it better than anyone

Electronic Goat No Theater is German, so is Schiller and Berlin. He is right. Let's see who is stupid
Electronic Goat You‘re being very ignorant, theater is german.
Theater is literally the germany name, love it when people call other people stupid just to ridicule themselves afterwards.
Phenomenal skill, the amount of knowledge he managed to fit into a handful of minutes.
only a Maestro like Barenboim could find a similarity like this music has with Don Giovanni!
SO much better when played more like a funeral march than the dreamy sequence. Wow. Thank you for this analysis.
He has pulled the Moonlight Sonata back to where it should be with dignity and beauty. If only more musicians were like him, concentrating on the music more than themselves. 👍👍 His interpretations are faultless.
