Jeeyoon, I found you at Anna's channel and by your comment, I knew you were an accomplished pianist, so I decided to listen. I LOVE this performance! First of all, I prefer raw, emotional performances over perfect robotic ones. For myself, I learned to be gentler on myself after an accident took out my ability to move as quickly and smoothly, so I simply reinvented myself. I always thought that passion reigns over anything and this is living proof. To your comment about the facial expressions, this is you living the joy, pain, and sorrow.....and conveying what you feel from your soul. Absolutely beautiful and yes, I enjoyed the RAWNESS immensely! BRAVO and of course a new subscriber for you :-) All the best to you as you grow and mature as an artist!! ~Jackie
Thank you! How thoughtful and insightful comment! I forgive myself about misnotes most of times as I know music and passion lived within me in any of my live performance. But I was always a bit reluctant to share with the world via video forms afterwards as I know there are always people who criticize performance with only judgement measurement of perfect notes and tempo, etc. Sometimes it is hard to accept for anyone from those other people’s bullets with some intention of hatred. 😜 I am learning to toughen up if I am gonna continue doing this TH-cam.. (never easy) Thank you for your comments! Looking forward to sharing it more with you. 😘
@@jeeyoonkimpianist Hello again Jeeyoon. You are very welcome!! Yes, the passion is more important I think. There are plenty of people in TH-cam land that would/could even pick away at a "perfect" performance and the way I see it, we would like to see THEIR performance then....haha :-) Yes, we do need a thick skin out here to handle people that are not so nice. Back in my own days of recitals, which was a very long time ago, I remember that I just had to be perfect. After the accident, I at first felt sorry for myself and did not play for 25 years. Later on, everyone knew music was really missing from my life and my husband bought me a piano. I can't do what I used to do and I accept that now, so the way I compose/play is all adapted to what I CAN do and I no longer beat myself up over a missed note or two. Be well and keep going. Glad we connected! ~Jackie
Way back in the day, I studied classical piano, and found myself in a competition where we all played various Beethoven sonata first movements. During that period, I had ample opportunity to hear the famous slow movement, and to listen to people in nearby practice rooms working on the last movement. I agree with the majority here in applauding the rawness of the emotion in this very moving interpretation. It was interesting to watch your expressions during each movement: Painstakingly channeling your energies in the 1st, happy and playful throughout the 2nd, and appropriately, ferocious and agitated in the 3rd. We could see it all, and hear it all, as you played. As a guy who ultimately chose Billy Joel, Billy Ocean, and Billy Preston over the other three B's, I'm all admiration for the level of virtuosity and expression you bring to this repertoire. :)
How wonderful! It is very cool that you studied classical piano, which explains your passion for music. You can never get tired of listening Beethoven sonatas... it sounds like you had a great experience in those competitions! Thank you for your comments and support! Happy making music for yourself!
Bravo! 👏👏👏 If I was at this concert, I’d be the first one to jump on my feet and clap my hands profusely! I love it so much. Everything about how you played it. So impressive in the third movement. I’m drooling from watching your fingers flying on the keyboard! And the left hand running! Oh my! Love it! Thank you for sharing! 🌹🌹🌹
This is gorgeous you did such an amazing job the way you convey your emotions into the piece is so clear, you truly are good at what you do. Breathtaking! ♥️
This piece has been my favorite piece of piano for i don't know how many years. I've been looking for a good live performance of this. And you just win it, and by far. You took my breath away and made me tear up a little bit. The raw feeling, the absolute roller coaster of emotions that we can feel is absolutely majestic. Thank you, for making my favorite song feel a bit closer to my heart.
I have an Xbox 360 game: Eternal Sonata and this performance brings back those memories of playing it. The story revolves around Chopin on his deathbed as he drifts between this life and the next. On the border between dreams and reality. Chopin captures every emotion in his compositions.... BRAVO! BRAVO! I loved your performance! Well done madame!!!
Amazing! This is my favorite piano, perhaps my favorite all time classic music, and you make it come to life in such a wonderful way. It’s like you channel Beethoven’s feelings and distress while you were preforming. The recordings I have of this of one is always so dull and uninspired.
many can play the first movement, but not many can play it like THAT "To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable"- Beethoven
Thank you for this performance. I liked most the second movement and how you were almost literally dancing at the piano. I think it's more important that the message of the composer is conveyed than just playing perfect notes. Music is a process and if you didn't share this performance we would be poorer of one great concert performance.
So wonderful to hear that, Stefan. 2nd movement is often neglected but I feel it is really needed break between 1st and 3rd movement musically, providing that dance bridge between those 2. Thank you for your comment! I appreciate it!
Yes! I love this piece! I love every aspect of your moving, empathetic, and triumphant performance - it brings back good memories of a live Funday performance :) Hint, hint 😉 Thank you, Jeeyoon!!
Dear Jeeyoon @Jeeyoon Kim It was lovely to meet you on Tuesday 3/21/23 at Poetry and Ocean. I am very happy to hear and watch you play here. Your brilliant playing expresses genuine emotion and we as your listeners can feel the emotions of the "Moonlight Sonata" through your sincere performance. Thank you for sharing your music with us. 'Wishing you all the best. Aloha, Cher and Steve Pendarvis
Not note perfect? I honestly don't think it had to be, that was sublime - for me the most emotional rendition of a wonderful piece. Literally blown away.
You are a great artist, and im a nobody, but still, what happened to the 3rd movement? You've kinda massacred it xD Congratulations anyways, well done!
Haha. You mean some misnotes in the 3rd movement? I know. We are just human. Definitely it is not the note perfect performance, but I still wanted to share it for the sake of rawness of the live performance. Hope you can still see the beauty of this piece, bypassing some imperfect humaness of the performance.
@@jeeyoonkimpianist of course, i already said youre a great artist, ive seen it on the 1st movement. But i wasnt talking about the wrong notes, but the fact that you seemed to push it too hard, like tou were angry with the piano, or somebody :)
Haha. Understood. I was actually expressing some anger or some frustration, well at least that kind line of emotional expression. 😜 there is always, always more room to get better and explore. Thank you for the note.

A lovely reading by a beautiful artist. Thanks so much for this.
눈물이 날 것 같은.. 아 격한 감동.. 말로 표현이 힘든.. 이 다양한 감정과 깨달음. 나 그리고 나의 과거.. 지금.. 모든걸 돌아보게 하는..
너무나 감사합니다. 이런 귀한 연주를 이렇게 라도 들려주셔서요 ㅠㅠ
아, 감사합니다. 콩쥐님의 글에 제가 더 감동이네요.

What a great interpretation! The 2nd movement has become my favorite version right away!
So beautiful! Your entire way of being during the song helps me feel it in a way I had not accessed before. Thank you.
How wonderful to hear that.
Tears..

This is my favorite version of this sonata third movement, your performance really conveys the anger and frustration of the piece.
absolutely love the way you play. my kids and I enjoy listening 🎶 thank you!
good performance
교수님이 한국인이라는게 너무 자랑스러워요
당신은 신이 만든 최고의 창조물입니다
아, 감사합니다.
Bravo, great playing of this beautiful sonata by my favourite composer 😍
Love the emotions. Sounds amazing !
+The Russian Troll Network thank you!
연주자님께서 연주하실때 보고 느끼고 상상하는것을 함께보며 들을수있는 기술이 없음이 안타깝게 느껴졌어요 연주보면서 처음 든 생각입니다 이제껏 내가 느끼는게 중요하다고 생각했기에 연주자가 몰입한것같은 이런것에만 관심이 있는 정도였는데요..넘 궁금해지네요...👏👏👍
저도 가끔 그런 생각해요. 제가 지금 느끼고 보고 머릿속으로 상상하는 것을 관객들이 보면 어떨까하는 상상. ㅋ 그런데 또 어떻게 생각하면 음악을 통해서 그 각자의 사람의 상상속으로 빠져들게하는 것이 음악의 진정한 힘이 아닐까 하는 생각도 들더라구요. 😊
@@jeeyoonkimpianist 음악의 힘을 느낍니다, 한국은 자정을 훌쩍 넘겼어요 열심 하루의 끝자락에 공감가득 다정한 댓글에 미소를 짓습니다 물리적인 거리는 아무것도 아니네요 선생님! 건강하세요!
I love it so much! Bravo! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!! I am glad!
Beautiful Song Dr. Kim🙏😃

What a great interpretation ! Like and sub !
Thank you!
there always is somebody who wants to cough
Someone sneezed right when you ended the first movement?????
Another sneeze 6:38

Isn’t it supposed to sound angry though?
