I listen to this all this time, and normally the coughing doesn't bother me. But today, for some reason, it has been frustrating to listen to. But lol. True.
What's also nice is the "hey let's open the crunchy packaging of candy and then munch it furiously with our loud dentures during a piano concert" crowd.
There was a video on the internet this morning. A lady had a piano out in the countryside, in I assume Africa.She was playing Movement two of Beethoven's Pathetique for an elephant, who stood there beside her listening and making a musical sound. It made me gloriously happy. Nothing is more beautiful than Movement two of Beethoven's Sonata No. 8.
@@matinatheartofrolling4606 I was going to say this is unusual slower than I expected her to play it. But she picks up tempo later. I think a lot of Beethoven is played too slow in general. Remember his was a student of Mozart, and contemporary composers also wrote fast sonatas. The piece suddenly opens up and you hear some Liszt and Chopin in it! Playing Beethoven slowly bring its own set of problems, the fingering becomes a case of perfect timing and you get some strange Bossa Nova rhythms into it, to get your timing right.
My huge and sincere THANK YOU for that wonderfull cough. I liked how its upper tones reverbs within the halls walls filling room with passionate feeling of scratching inside ones ill throat. Blessed throat. It makes me envy.
Одна из самых прекраснейших сонат за всю историю фортепианной музыки!... Исполнение - за гранью возможного!... Эта интерпретация - на уровне гениальности!
I do not believe I have ever heard this played with such a high degree of expression - throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed this performance by Ms. Lisitsa. Her dexterity was impressive, as usual. Ron
Валентина, слушаю сотни раз ваше исполнение, ваши руки - это нечто! Можно смотреть бесконечно! До слез! Благодарю вас! Вы дарите людям такое наслаждение!!! Брависсимо!!!!
Bravo! As for me, Beethoven's work is absolutely about "time and tempo". IMO, Valentina Lisitsa is the most accomplished pianist of any I've heard (I'm 69 years old and heard many), and whose interpretation is flawless (Beethoven and others)! Her interpretation of Sonata, OP 27, Mov 1, 2 & 3 shows this as much as any other Beethoven's work. Ms. Lisitsa proves her expertise in time and tempo with her rendition of Moonlight Sonata above ALL pianist throughout 'recording' history.
Krystian Zimmerman! This is what is said about him: Music for Krystian Zimerman is the art of organizing emotions in time. The Polish pianist's interpretations of everything from Beethoven and Chopin to Schubert and Szymanowski reveal infinite expressive subtleties and the underlying clarity of his story-telling through music. Zimerman's place among today's greatest artists remains not least on the freshness and originality of his performances, always intensely personal and prepared in meticulous detail. He may study a work for decades, exploring every facet and contemplating its meaning before introducing it to his recital repertoire or taking it into the studio. His approach belongs to a dynamic process of creative evolution, one in which self-criticism, deep reflection and intuition play significant parts. “The final thing - that which art is made of - happens in the concert hall,” he notes.
I have been listening to all of Valentinas performances for over 10 years now. I am a lover of all music. Rap, rock, metal, blues, and all classical. I've always loved classical pianists the most. I've tried to listen to who the critics say are the best, but nobody comes close to touching the soul like Valentina. This woman has no equal. You would have to be insane to criticize her in favor of any other pianist in the world. I've compared her to all. There is no comparison. I will continue to listen to her performances over and over forever. It will continue to get me through the tough times in life.
I wish I could like this a million times. Technically masterful, and with a vulnerable intimacy that makes you feel this is coming straight from the heart. Brava!!!
I love watching her face and the sheer joy she gets from playing. La Campanella is also an incredible performance by this truly amazing pianist. Brava, Madam Lisitsa, brava!!
Valentina, You are a genius. I am a musician myself, but never have heard any perfomance like that. You give unbeleivable presence of all color feelings in your interpretation of music. Only genius performers can bring so much passion as if they live a bright and interesing life at this moment in music and each one who is listening to it lives this life too-) Браво!
I noticed that if you listen to this video more often you start thinking the coughing belongs to the music. You almost wait for it to happen...It must be difficult for artists like Valentina to concentrate with these disturbances. Usually the coughing is filtered out later on when the rocordings are planned to be sold. I would love to hear the filtered version... :-)
Manji Yes but actually when I listened to the video I only heard 1 cough because I was so concentrated on what she was playing, so, it might be the same for her ^^
I only consciously heard one cough, towards the end of the Grave introduction, and only started 'hearing' the others after reading some comments whilst I was listening!
I did not think it was physically humanly possible to actually play this. How brilliant Beethoven was to work out how something that complicated could be managed by two hands. And, let's not forget to say how utterly amazing Valentina is here.
Il watched it 1 million Times and still have chills Valentina I juste love the way you play I am fan fan fan its just perfection even silences between notes are beautiful
Valentina, the way you smile when you play... I imagine it’s because you enjoy sharing your passion with folks who wouldn’t hear it otherwise. I love the way you play. I love even more to see your character shine through the music. It brightens my day a lot. This is how I like to play... to share the music. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Милая Валентина! Вы просто чудо! Уж кто, как не женщина смогла понять Бетховена! Наделенная теми же страстями, как и мужчина, но способная понять, утешить! Если бы со мной кто мог так разговаривать,как Вы с музыкой - я была наисчастливейшим человеком! Успехов Вам!
Ooohhhh!!! Ooouuuuu . . . The interpretation of the 2nd movement, oh my, the delicate parts were SWEET!!!!! The diminuendos were exqusitly melted into silence. Just like cotton candy. My goodness!!
Valentina lisitsa you know how the real music is composed and also how to know which music is real and which is not. I like the way you play because you play very natural I feel a person with humility.
Excellent playing of this wonderful sonata (spoilt by the coughing as people have already said but nonetheless I was able to concentrate on most of the performance).
Quand le monde fléchit autour de soi, quand les structures d’une civilisation vacillent, il est bon de revenir à ce qui, dans l’histoire, ne fléchit pas, mais au contraire redresse le courage, rassemble les séparés, pacifie sans meurtrir. Il est bon de rappeler que le génie de la création est lui aussi, à l’œuvre dans une histoire vouée à la destruction
I'm learning this piece rn, so I came here to make sure I had the counting right. I just have one question, HOW IS IT PHYSICALLY POSSIBLE TO PLAY THAT FAST. This is amazing
Ive been hearing this piece since i was in the womb. I personally think she plays the first and third movements way too fast and appears to alter some of the notes. Might must be me. I know she is talented so... I just don’t think this is her best piece.
@@theodorecrosby9476 great job!! i think the first movement is the most challenging, because of all the jumps, but its so fun to play when you finally get it
My mother played it which made our house tremble followed by absolute sweetness. Bringing tears in our eyes like rain after a thunderstorms, we boys stood amazed with pride of our mom. It was one of her favorite.
I played all three movements and performed them. They are very beautiful. And she plays them masterfully, not only technically but with so much Beethoven Emotion.
This is by far my favourite rendition of Pathetique. Valentina, your skills are beyond words. Your precision, your meticulous care for the notes, the emotion you put in, and with such ease as if your fingers just 'dance' on the keys. I am always speechless after watching your videos (and also starting to think you may not be from this world! haha). I have watched a lot of your videos and thoroughly enjoyed them all, any chance you're coming to Melbourne (Australia) anytime soon?
I agree. This piece is a wonderful piece to put so much emotion into especially if you put Beethovens story behind it and tell the story with your soul. It's so much fun to play, but I will truly never feel this piece as much as she does!!!
As a pianist myself learning to play this beautiful Sonata my mind was totally focused on the pianist and her artistic interpretation. If people are coughing they need to so lets show empathy and compassion and instead express appreciation and gratitude for this beautiful performance by a gifted pianist.
This must be my favorite piece of all time! I just don't think I will ever be able to play it. Go Valentina!! Gorgeous Lady!! Thank you so much!! We love you
My wife and I drove a thousand miles to hear you play this (and a few other things) in St Paul, Minn. a couple of weeks ago. Enjoyed your performance ++ Well worth the travel. Any plans to record the Bach-Busoni ?
This is superb playing and Beethoven would be most pleased. I now hope she will post the Liszt sonata in B minor which she played along with the Pathetique during her current 2014 European tour.
+ruben3k4 "Do you even grammar?" Do YOU ??? You're insulting one the best pianists in the world, a 42 year old woman who's been a US citizen for over 22 years and her grammar is better than yours ! Her grammar is only slightly off, while your reply literally makes no sense and isn't even a sentence . LOL Oh, the irony. In fact, her grammar is just as charming with her minor mistakes as her Russian accent is, from growing up in Kiev.and I for one , hope she never loses it. You really need to work on your own grammar and stop trying to be a smartass.
Valentina, again you played this beautifully and you play this sonata so elegantly with so much expression in all 3 movements. 1st movement is the best!!!
So effortlessy well played ;_; and I'm so happy to finally listen to your performance because in one week I'll be competing in a piano competition with the 3rd movement
You're very very very talented! thankyou for playing such a beautiful song.. this is one of my favourites from Beethoven! and you got me in awe! Amazing! - forever your fans -
I know it’s a technical comment, but I really just want to say it anyway... She goes to the very very last note for all her trills...and even in all the other videos she has...she has the most exquisite trills ever... And then the arpeggios in this piece are sick. I really appreciate your hard work. I’m just blown away how effortless it is. I love also how you made the Sonata breathe at the right places. Bravo bravo
Благодарю!!! Вот так еще можно исцелять людей! Все тягости этой жизни отходят, когда слушаю вас!.. Попадаешь в какой-то Совершенный, другой, настоящий и Живой мир!!! 👏🇷🇺 Новокузнецк❤️
This is the most expressive and professional interpretation on youtube -Wow pearly genius with such beauty and gracefulness that I enjoy hearing with joyful excitement and will listen to again and again. I imagine Beethoven taking snapshots of his entire life and expounding them all here in this music.. Thanx so very much for sharing!
Fingers gotta play. Ears gotta hear. Throats gotta cough. It's nature, man, even though it's annoying. And besides, at some point in our lives we will all play the role of the cougher, to our embarrassment and discomfort. You all know it's true.

Christina Belyy I’m dying!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Give me his/her address as well
They were coughing cuz of the coronavirus
So kind of her to give a concert to terminally ill tuberculosis patients!
Ok this comment takes the prize😂😂😂
Took me 10 seconds to realise
HAHHAHHHHAAH
hey paul, got a favorite opening?
Alexander Alekhine haha took me a minute
1:34, my favorite cough. Perfect timing, Beethoven would be proud.
He will not even hear the cough :(
It disturbs me how your username is "Piano Adventure" but your profile picture is a tenor clef xD
@@timothyragland4190 Why is that? 😂😂 What do you had in mind?:DD 😂🙈 Playing a piece with a tenor clef on a piano truly is an adventure xD
The person who coughed there was thinking "Polite people cough in the break." So he did.
PianoAdventure please stay home if you're not ok
I am always amazed at her style of playing. She makes it look effortless and I know it is not. She is by far one of my favorites.
"Hey I can't stop coughing, let's go to a piano concert, fuck everybody else"
I listen to this all this time, and normally the coughing doesn't bother me. But today, for some reason, it has been frustrating to listen to. But lol. True.
What's also nice is the "hey let's open the crunchy packaging of candy and then munch it furiously with our loud dentures during a piano concert" crowd.
True, its annoying. Why would someone stay and cough the whole time!
You're so Pathétique!
Captain Chicken at least you tried
Wonderful performance, The only thing missing was the sound of the gunshot taking out the coughing person.
LMFAO
Charles Sommers True. So true. I wish I could be there so I can take him out of there. And by the way (why not) kill him

How perfect timing
Tell the woman to stop playing. She is disturbing the beautiful cough sonata, I'm here for.
Haha, Brendel made the joke
I. Grave - Allegro di molto e con brio - 00:00
II. Adagio cantabile - 08:07
III. Rondo. Allegro - 12:52
Thank you!

Thanks. You should add the moments the patient starts coughing
I like the first one the best
God bless you

I've been listening to this composition every single day after I wake up for so long I can't imagine my life without this piece
I love the way she plays with real clarity, the "fortissimo" parts are music and not the usual rumble other pianists produce
I agree...you can practically hear every note.... beautiful
Just incredible. She is like a mad scientist at the keyboard! Amazing ability!
It's a piano
@@macacopedreiro214 and what playing interface does a piano have?
"come hear the amazing Valentina Lisitsa and the timeless coughs of tuberculosis patients at 7:00 P.M. tonight!"
90% of the comments are about the coughing
10% are of the actual playing
The first movement is way too fast. The good thing is she unveils some the piece's hidden melodies
@@matinatheartofrolling4606 I was going to say this is unusual slower than I expected her to play it. But she picks up tempo later. I think a lot of Beethoven is played too slow in general.

For me, she can do no wrong, but the piano tuner needs a kick up the arse, as there are one or two jangly notes.
Yes, which one was your favourite cough?
So?
My huge and sincere THANK YOU for that wonderfull cough.
I liked how its upper tones reverbs within the halls walls filling room with passionate feeling of scratching inside ones ill throat.
Blessed throat.
It makes me envy.
Avdij Baryshnikov shut up you are weird and stupid that's all I'm saying
You guys must have some serious mental problem if you can't recognize you can't control other's lives nor nature and simply must let it be.
haha LMAO yeah.. it makes me envy the person that coughs in a concert with so much goddess
This my made my day, thank you.
I appreciated they did it right before the allegro as well it really was a nice moment to do that when there was silence
1st Mvt = Grave - Allegro di Molto e con Brio -> 0:00;
2nd Mvt = Adagio Cantabile -> 8:06;
3rd Mvt = Rondo: Allegro -> 12:52.
you forgot the cough Mvt
Thanks
I cried. It was a long time that I couldn't. Your talent is extraordinary. Thank you
alittle late, but certain classical performances are doing that to me too, lately.

I love watching her face and the sheer joy she gets from playing. La Campanella is also an incredible performance by this truly amazing pianist. Brava, Madam Lisitsa, brava!!
It is not mastery to play piano, but supremacy. Thank you Ms. Lisitsa.
I love this sonata. Oh my god! That second movement is just perfect. It's all perfect, but that movement is so wonderful and dreamy
Yeah İ agree it gives the same emotion as moolight but more powerfull
Beethoven would be proud! So moving, beauty, and elegance it made me weep!
The movement of hands is beautiful
If this concert would have been during Covid-19, everybody in the hall would be dead by now.
She is still my favorite pianist....... Her right hand left hand technique is the best I have seen along with Vladimir Horowitz
Valentina, You are a genius. I am a musician myself, but never have heard any perfomance like that. You give unbeleivable presence of all color feelings in your interpretation of music. Only genius performers can bring so much passion as if they live a bright and interesing life at this moment in music and each one who is listening to it lives this life too-) Браво!
What a wonderful talent this lady is. My favourite pianist.
Her tempo in the first movement is 120% of mine. She plays it effortlessly, I fall apart at 80%. I want her dexterity.
I noticed that if you listen to this video more often you start thinking the coughing belongs to the music. You almost wait for it to happen...It must be difficult for artists like Valentina to concentrate with these disturbances. Usually the coughing is filtered out later on when the rocordings are planned to be sold. I would love to hear the filtered version... :-)

I only consciously heard one cough, towards the end of the Grave introduction, and only started 'hearing' the others after reading some comments whilst I was listening!

I'm sure Beethoven never specified a direction such as "Audience member coughing his lungs out" at the end of the Grave section...
That's ridiculous. The direction would necessarily be in Italian: _Membro del pubblico che tossisce i polmoni_
Well the consequences are certainly quite Grave
LMAO
i love the way you play its wonderful and very elegant

i am bout to go to bed and felt like listening to this. Good call :). Hug to you nodame ^^
This is my favorite interpretation of the first movement! :-)

My wife and I drove a thousand miles to hear you play this (and a few other things) in St Paul, Minn. a couple of weeks ago. Enjoyed your performance ++ Well worth the travel. Any plans to record the Bach-Busoni ?
Thank you for playing this wonderful piece! You're my inspiration!!
ValentinaLisitsa hahaha
Sohel Fazal Can I help?
Hell yeah, ValentinaLisitsa is paying attention to all the cough hate! I didn't think it was possible to love her any more :)
She is The best in Beethoven performance actually
No
@@chopin-qg1kecada um tem sua opinião.
@@chopin-qg1kewho is then?
How can one compliment a genius? Perhaps by saying that your art never ceases to inspire us. Thank you.
Valentina com certeza é a reencarnação de algum gênio musical. Maravilhosa!
1:34 10/10 would hear again, excellent
This is superb playing and Beethoven would be most pleased. I now hope she will post the Liszt sonata in B minor which she played along with the Pathetique during her current 2014 European tour.
+ValentinaLisitsa Do you even grammar?
+ruben3k4 "Do you even grammar?"
Do YOU ??? You're insulting one the best pianists in the world, a 42 year old woman who's been a US citizen for over 22 years and her grammar is better than yours ! Her grammar is only slightly off, while your reply literally makes no sense and isn't even a sentence . LOL Oh, the irony. In fact, her grammar is just as charming with her minor mistakes as her Russian accent is, from growing up in Kiev.and I for one , hope she never loses it. You really need to work on your own grammar and stop trying to be a smartass.

Querida Valentina Lisitsa, Nunca Ouvi Tanta Doçura.
Tocas com um Sentimento, jamais alcançado.
Parabéns!!!
Valentina, again you played this beautifully and you play this sonata so elegantly with so much expression in all 3 movements. 1st movement is the best!!!
So effortlessy well played ;_; and I'm so happy to finally listen to your performance because in one week I'll be competing in a piano competition with the 3rd movement
You're very very very talented!
thankyou for playing such a beautiful song..
this is one of my favourites from Beethoven!
and you got me in awe!
Amazing!
- forever your fans -
I know it’s a technical comment, but I really just want to say it anyway...
She goes to the very very last note for all her trills...and even in all the other videos she has...she has the most exquisite trills ever...
And then the arpeggios in this piece are sick.
I really appreciate your hard work. I’m just blown away how effortless it is. I love also how you made the Sonata breathe at the right places. Bravo bravo
Валентина, Вы прелесть! Ваша игра такая же красивая, как Вы сами и эта музыка. Целую ручки😘😘
What a beautiful performance . Your technique is astounding. You move me. Thank you.
DITTO!!!
Благодарю!!! Вот так еще можно исцелять людей! Все тягости этой жизни отходят, когда слушаю вас!.. Попадаешь в какой-то Совершенный, другой, настоящий и Живой мир!!! 👏🇷🇺 Новокузнецк❤️
This is the most expressive and professional interpretation on youtube -Wow pearly genius with such beauty and gracefulness that I enjoy hearing with joyful excitement and will listen to again and again. I imagine Beethoven taking snapshots of his entire life and expounding them all here in this music.. Thanx so very much for sharing!
Absolutely beautifully played, love it, Valentina.
You are my favorite Classical Pianist. It was 9 years ago when I first watched you play those Chopin Etudes on You Tube.

Fingers gotta play. Ears gotta hear. Throats gotta cough. It's nature, man, even though it's annoying. And besides, at some point in our lives we will all play the role of the cougher, to our embarrassment and discomfort. You all know it's true.
OH you are tooo funny... Coughing 00:00 00:01 :02 :03... hahaha.
@@studentoftheword6115 Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!
You didn't notice the music, then?
It wasn't that frequent...
Such fluidity and nuance. Gorgeous.
Espetacular!!!! Vejo sempre que posso este vídeo, Valentina é sensacional. ❤
