That first statement of the theme at 10:44 is one of the most simple, yet gorgeous and heartbreaking passages in all of Beethoven - and Mahan voices it so beautifully and judges the tempo perfectly.
The most accomplished of all Beethoven's sonatas, magnificently played.
As she finished, especially those difficult trills near the end, I told myself, "Please audience, don't clap. Just sit there in stunned silence." That's the best way to honor this piece, stunned silence.
I’m 80 and have listened to performances by 90 different pianists over the years. I agree 100%
Solomon was very good also !
According to Reine Gianoli, this actually happened after a performance by Edwin Fischer in Lucerne (from the liner notes of one of Edwin Fischer's vinyl editions of Bach's WTC, probably the one including the St Anne Prelude and Fugue BWV 552)
That smile at 18:00, while the pianist plays the second and third variations of the arietta ! Thank you for this version of a jubilant piece of music..!
Another smile at 27:00
I've adored this sonata since the second time i heard it (the first time i didn't "get it"). I've heard many performances since but this is sheer magic! A wonderful performance that conveys the depth of this wonderful work in its full glory
Beautiful. To me this is the most difficult Beethoven Sonata as even with the technical skills to play the notes, extracting the musicality as you have, is exceptionally hard. I wish I had your talent.
The most beautiful piece of music played by the most beautiful pianist. Divine.
そうですね
This pianist’s control of rhythm is superb! The best I’ve heard of this piece.
Î Î Î Mon dieu... notre Eternel Ludwig Van... soufrant de la pire torture pour un Vieux Compositeur : ne pas pouvoir la sentir ELLE venant de l'exterieur... a le plaisir TOTAL... avec vous.. VOUS êtes une Incarnation Merveilleuse de son dernier Poème pour la Baleine 88... et j'espère pouvoir continuer encore 38 ans a vous écouter avec les yeux... et a vous regarder avec les oreilles... Madame BRAVO BRAVO BRAVO Î Î Î 🤍🖤🤍 🖤🤍🖤 💙💙💙 ❤❤❤
I didn't expect to find my favorite version of this... I'm stunned. Thank you for your life's work. Looking forward to learning of your french impressionist's interpretations. Thank you. Steinway sounds wonderful with this composition and your performance. Congrats to Steinway's supporting you and crafting the instrument of Beethoven's composition. What a divine way to set aside a day a week for the Lord's day. A better world awaits.
Thank you, thank you so much, Katia Mahan! It is one of the finest renditions, so pure and Beethoven-ish! I couldn't imagine that it is something more to play/say after Arrau, Gieseking eiusdem farinae, all of them demigod of the piano.
Good God, this is so glorious.
I didn’t think I would hear a version of the Opus 111 as brilliant as Claude Frank’s 1972 recording, but now I have! Such crispness, joy and passion. The trills are particularly stunning. Wow!
The birth of jazz at 17:50. Mind blown🤯
60 ans que je dit que c'est Ludwig van qui a créé le jazz... et c'est un plaisir vous trouver monsieur "The birth of jazz at 17:50. " Alors... bien lointain dans le temps... un jour on a demandé à Pierre Boulez sur le jazz... et il a répondu : Tout le jazz est en Alexander Scriabin... ...Cecil Taylor est toujours vivant Madame et Monsieur... La 9ème sonate Op.68 "Black Mass" a un orgasme pianistique très difficile a sortir... lumineusement... et lui arrive... ...presque...

Bravissima!
What a divine combination. Immortal music played by a beautiful woman.
Dear Katie. I really admire your artistic qualities. For years, the top interpretation of tthe last Beethoven´s sonata represented for me the genial Sviatoslav Richter. I cannot say that you overpassed him, but almost equalized him. I wish you all the best in your career. I wonder if you plan to give concerts in the Czech Republic. I would certainly attend.
Is it just me but that final reiteration of main theme at 25:10 onwards is always giving me tears and chills 😪 especially the climax starting at 26:05 when it strikes the G9 LH chords
Prachtig . . . indrukwekkend en gevoelig gespeeld en een fantastische jurk, een bijzonder mooi gewaad! Heerlijk . . . al die schoonheid, prachtig om naar te kijken en te luisteren en meegenomen worden in andere werelden.. 👌🏽🌱🌹💚🌹🌱 Dank 🙏🏽
The Ragtime (some say Boogie-Woogie or Jazz, I think Ragtime is more appropriate) part is one of the best I've heard! I think it should be played like this, not like "classical" music. There should be swing. Beethoven broke the old paradigms. That's why he is one of the greatest! Trifonof is also fantastic in this piece.

How do you like Luís Rabello’s version? This is the best I heard
22.00 mn je rentre au paradis et je vois enfin la lumière divine. Merci ludwig ❤ et quelle sublime interprétation 😮 merci
I love this sonata and how you play with such passion and feeling really makes it come alive! Thank you!
Danke Katie! ganz herzlichen Dank! vor mehr als 50 Jahren habe ich diese Klaviersonate in mein Herz geschlossen, aber noch nie habe ich eine so gefühlvolle Interpretation gehört.
Es macht nicht nur große Freude dein Klavierspiel anzuhören, es ist auch wunderbar dir dabei zusehen zu können wie dein Gefühl über Deine Hände in das Klavier fließt und die fast verzauberten Töne entstehen läßt. großartig!!
Thomas Mann said of this Sonata (in Dr. Faustus) that it takes the tradition of composing sonatas beyond itself and brings it to an end.
Non sapevo di Katie Mahan. E pensavo che la sonata più impegnativa di Beethoven non potesse avere esecutori più bravi di quelli da me ascoltati. Katie Mahan mi ha smentito.
フォルテッシモの強打音、それに引き換えピアニッシモの何という繊細さ、その二つを完璧に弾き分ける卓越したテクニック!! まったく素晴らしい。
Magnifique !!! Plans sonores extraordinaires !!!
Das Beste sind ihre ausladenden Armbewegungen. Perfekt zum Kleid.
Brava!
You have no idea how happy this makes me! Thank you Katie & Ludwig .
An excellently produced video with very special camera work. My favorite Beethoven sonata; his most profoundly beautiful and moving in my opinion. I am in support of the slow tempo at the beginning of the Arietta. Well-recorded piano sound too.
Loved the reflected image in a dolly shot off of the piano lid. (25:28)
The slow zoom-in's were at the tempo of her poised performance.
The editing contributed when it could have been a hindrance.
The cuts were accompaniments instead of authoritarian templates.
The editor seemed to be a pianist themselves.
Inspiring.
She held the audience quiet for 17 seconds at the end, at it worked. There's something more going on with her career than others.
What a wonderful recording! This pianist is new to me, but this recording has certainly taken it's place among my favorites along side Schnabel, Solomon, Ashkenazy, Pollini and Michelangeli. There's something of the Jorg Demus about her approach; the music flows forward effortlessly, the Beethoven is first, the performer a discrete messenger.
I've heard Katie Mahan in person; I've played in the orchestra when she performed Chopin's F minor Concerto in Colorado. She is one of the finest. And this performance stands with the very best of Opus 111. I especially love her seamless transitions in the finale. She's got the grand line, the flexibility and architectural approach this music demands.
What a marvellous performance! Katie delivers everything that makes Beethoven's opus 111 so great, so unique, so otherworldly. I am completely thrilled.
What a wonderful interpretation, so clear, so sensitive. Must be very close to LvB:s expectations.
Also very good audio and video.
And what an amazing dress ❗
Merveilleuse Katie Mahan. Je viens d'écouter plusieurs version de la sonate n°32 et tout à coup l'ensemble du morceau apparait dans une clarté inédite. Cette version rejoint celle de Maria Yudina, pourtant beaucoup plus violente. Eclairages différents pour ce testament.
You are fantastic! Thanks Katie
Grazie Magnifica interpretazione ❤ Gabriele
Splendide, l'énergie et les contrastes sont rendus comme rarement !
J'y vois dans le 1er mouvement comme un sursaut du mythe prometheen libérant l'homme de la matière brute,
Dans le second ,comme un testament du compositeur exténué, cloîtré et transcendé dans son mode sonore intérieur.
Grazie. Per avermi portato nelle più lontani mondi celesti dell’universo. Ti abbraccio dà cuore a cuore❤️🌺
It is an important sonata in the piano literature, not only because it is the last of the Master's , but because it opens up unprecedented perspectives for the future. If it were not for the genial inspiration contained in the second movement, where one has the impression of already being in the era of ragtime, but almost everything in this work, cast in a prodigious synthesis of the decades of music before him, bears the mark of genius. Everything here is ideas, daring, mastery that still rings to our ears with an astonishing modernity. I would also like to note the exemplary performance given by Katie Mahan. No trace of exaggeration, everything is natural and clear. The incredible difficulty and sophistication of the musical writing reaches the listener's ears with the utmost naturalness. I did not know this artist, and today this discovery is precious.
i discover Katie Mahan today with this op.111. It is divine. The subtility lf the Arietta is impressive, mit innigsten empfindung. It is a miracle of beauty and meditative stimmung. Absolutely incomparable. What a contemplation! Gift of God, sure.
This is my favorite performance of this great work.
Gorgeous Katie!
Mind blown!😮
This is my favorite performance of opus 111, very moving and the tempos were perfect
My favourite Beethoven sonata. Beautifully played. For me it seems to explore every human emotion and at times expresses the inexpressable, if such is possible. Thank you.
same here
beautiful
Congatulations for your performance!
Love the part from "16:16" on to the end. Absolutely emotionally riveting, beautiful and quite peaceful at times.
Mozarteum, Salzburg is so beautiful
Ahhh pero muy bien que suena esto, gracias por compartir.
とてもすばらしい
Hello, Katie, those first few bars of the "Arietta" are like an amalgamation of love and infinity rocketing into a radiantly blue sky. The master saw love and eternity and left his vision for all mankind to behold. The iridescent hues of the validity of the eternal return. Love, Noel ❤️
Gran interpretación entre las mejores de su época. gran musicalidad belleza de sonido y encanto de mujer ...felicitaciones. 10 puntos
Re the opening of the arietta. It IS marked Molto Adagio. For me, she gets it spot on.
Thanks for ❤️ Katie. I am 80 year old Englishman who has been listening to this wonderful work for 60 years. It has been a support and solace for me at bad times. And I have used it to salve the sorrows of a mourning friend. I have listened to 90 different performances via TH-cam and yours gets closer to LvB than anyone. Xx
Beautiful!
Awesome interpretation of the most beautiful Beethoven sonata!
Excelente tempo e ênfases (dinâmica).
Merci Katie pour ce moment de découverte de ton talent
Bravissima 💚
17:40 its time to boogie
Гениальная пианистка!!!
Very good
I can't believe how she can play so easily with long nails. Guess it works for her (not me) Can anyone out there?
sensitive, sensual, spiritual
This really is a truly sublime interpretation. Every single note, and it's essence, and etherealness is perfectly ecked out and expressed. And what a piece of music this is, although it sees to have transcended music : music morphed into raw nerves, the inexpressible expressed. And the final movement, "Eternity in a grain of sand " as William Blake put it..... Thank you, Katie, Noel 🌹
I find it interesting to note that Wagner was a Young Hegelian. That was an intellectual movement in the 1840s particularly popular in the German universities. (Marx was also a Young Hegelian--at first.) For Wagner, all music originated with the voice, but music itself split into two dialectical components that developed separately: vocal music and instrumental music. For Wagner, a great admirer of Beethoven, Beethoven represented the full and final development of instrumental music, as witnessed by opus 111. Of course, as a Hegelian, Wagner needed to synthesize the two halves of music into one as the final result of history. Wagner reserved that role for himself; his operas unified into one the vocal and instrumental halves of music. Quite an ego.
Grandiosa ejecución, sus dedos como alas de mariposa en su vuelo, sutiles y fuertes a la vez
Hi Katie, do you use the word "jazz" to describe the variation that is often associated with that style? How did you like the 12/32 time signature?
I've heard things in this interpretation I didn't hear in many other performances. Love the bounciness in the second movement in that "jazzy" sounding section.
Hearing more and more each time. A musical/spiritual gold mine that keeps yielding forever. Thank you!
On the strength of this performance, would love to hear Katie play the Hammerclavier, particularly the slow movement !
Could someone post the time stamps for the sonata movements? Thanks very much, and well played, Ms. Mahan!
Beethoven would have fallen in love with Katie.
This has to be one of Beethoven's more difficult sonatas to play. I can't imagine any pianist who wouldn't be in TEARS after finishing with all those trills. Beethoven wasn't 100% deaf: he could distinguish very high and low pitches. Hence the high trills.
Randolf Voldish interesting but not a necessary argument as we know the facts from history. Beethoven’s hearing declined in his twenties and eventually completely deaf. And he could still compose when he was deaf.
Lets Boogie :-)
should get many more views. Brava!!!!!!!
👏👏👏
Es la pianista más rápida y precisa que he escuchado wouuu!
I listen to this interpretation from Katie so often. I heard many others, but Katie ist the best. Thanks very much and sorry for my English.
She can play Beethoven.
Wunderbarbar erlebt und vollendet wiedergegeben, doch weit übertrieben in estremen Tempounterschieden. So wird ein tiefes Erlebnis zur Karrikatur.
Hi.🇧🇷
👏👏👏👏👏
One of the most talented gifted artist in the world!
22:36 ?
Bravissima intenza
Take notes Lola astanova.. this is how to be glamorous and sexy and elegant while playing beautifully..
i dont understand ? why dis ? envious person ?
Wonder how she can play so well with such long nails.
Long nails? Are we watching the same video?
Very emotionally played, and a very nice performance. I just wish the voicing was more thought out, but that’s just me being pedantic.
better than Serkin and Sokolov, Gould and countless others!
What good reason is there for any pianist to take the opening octaves with 1 hand? The slow execution by this pianist of those sublime opening notes, was totally repellent to me. Dear pianists - why should you risk this happening to you? Even the greats - for the most part - took these notes with both hands. And those who used 1 hand, in almost all cases, took it too slow - without the requisite snap. The best I've seen execute this with 1 hand is the Russian pianist, Lugansky. Richter took it with one hand, but it was, unfortunately, too slow. Even the technical wizard, Kissin, takes it with both hands. Don't aspire to outdo them please. Know your limitations.
I don't think you comments about 'opening octaves' are well thought out. First of all, the first jump is not and octave, it's a 7th. More significantly, the next jump in the left hand IS an octave, so a bigger jump than the first and no option to use the right hand. In any case, taking the first jump in the LH is not particularly taxing or dangerous.
Good performance, but the coughing is soooo annoying. I could never become a professional pianist because this is the norm and its so respectless. Its not hard to cough silently you selfish, reckless fools. And quit smoking if you cant handle it omg
This is a live performance for living humans ❗
If disturbed, please go buy her record, that would make her more
happy than your complaints ❗
Is that the only reason you could not become a professional pianist?
Very nice indeed. But she could only mechanically produce music as there is nothing of her own insight to bring out herself.
In your opinion. What may be one person's interpretation, insight or lack of, to you can come across as a contrivance to someone else. Personally, I felt she allowed the music to speak for itself. No need for artifice...in my opinion.
Didn'r Richter once say (something to the effect of) the performer could do no better than to be the voice of the composer?
For my taste, she plays far too theatrical !
I have to point out to you that you are another woman trying to steal attention from the fantstic beautiful music you produce, don't... If the music can't stand alone without beautiful pictures and anything else that you know, the music isn't good enough... Sorry.
Vous êtes complètement SOURD, MISOGYN, et JALOUX @gert8033... "ANOTHER woman trying to STEAL attention"... quel horreur...
