when I was 17, my piano teacher told me I wasn't ready to learn this song. so i went home and over my christmas holiday, I taught it to myself. When i went back to her after the break, i told her i had been working on it, and she thought i had just done a little bit of it, but i had the whole thing down. Best moment of my piano career, and now im 21 years old and its still my favorite song to play. I just wish i was still taking lessons so i could get even better
This is my issue with traditional approaches to music study. Whilst structure in learning is undeniably important, restricting what students are and aren't ready for based on perceived level is such a poor approach. Taking on a complex piece will teach you a lot about what you do and don't know.
@@andybarker8787 The issue that comes with that is learning things wrong and developing bad habits. I'm a trumpet player for example, and one thing that comes with learning things on your own despite the teacher's caution, is where players play in a way that sounds fine to them but damages and wears muscle out over time which will destroy their ability to play in the future.
The emotions that Beethoven evokes in this movement... Sorrow and bittersweet, yet always resolving to that noble, head up, arms back, chest out hopefulness. The world is troubled, yes, but there is always hope. And hope doesn't disappoint.
Yes... probably something he would tell himself, as his deafness got worse to the point he even considered suicide, and only his own music preventing him to do so.
Others just bang this out, hitting every note perfectly. ... But Barenboim seems to understand Beethoven's emotional intent. He varies from initial statemens of very soft musical near-whispers, then transitions to more foreceful, exhuberant passages, after which he returns to the basic statement. His calm cadence is perfect. I never tire of this and go back to it when I'm feeling a little down.
James Mason cannot have been a music lover, to have tried to break Ann Todds Fingers when she played this( " The Seventh Veil".. Eileen Joyce actually played You Tube..why do you not have this recording?? ). Surely the most beautiful piece ever written. MW
There is actually a really emotional version of this. Its called "Infinity Blade 3 Beethoven Ambient" it's a reallllly good interpretation. In my opinion the best. :)
This was my mother’s favorite classical piece of music and when I miss her and want to feel her comforting presence, I listen to it and let myself cry. It’s not sadness, it’s something gentle and special and warm. The closest I can get to her embrace now. I remember learning it for her as a teenager. This is a beautiful performance of it.
I just can't believe how good this interpretation is - it's like every note was played with thoughtful intent and sensitivity. He's a telling a story with this piece, it's how I would have imagined Beethoven himself would have intended.
There was this iPad video game called Infinity Blade 3 where in the last level area of the boss's lair, this song was heard in the background. I've spent nearly over 7 years searching for this song's name until finally now. Beautiful song worth the search
It can feel like the world is falling apart around us at the moment, and that we are all becoming ever more divided by the day. Music like this reminds me that love, peace and simplicity can always be found even in the darkest of hours. While the world changes and becomes more complex and confusing, these works of art will never go away and we can return to this steady constant to find comfort. We could all do with a little less anger and a little more Beethoven.
I love to watch the beautiful expression and feeling on this man's face as he plays... It is like watching him fall in love with the piece all over again...
This man is Daniel Barenboim who was a Child Prodigy tho I've read he dislikes that label, who followed a lifetime as a concert pianist with mainly conducting now and forming the excellent West East Divan orchestra. Do check out his bio. He is particularly wonderful doing anything Beethoven, in my opinion
Barenboim is the master of interpreting Beethoven's sonatas. You know that he will have considered the way every note is performed and related this to the overall structure. This gives his playing an integrity which can weather criticism of his particular choices - there is always an underlying coherence. Well that is what I pick up from listening to him
Paul, that's an interesting observation. I don't follow Barenboim so I'm curious about your first sentence. Is he a Beethoven follower? I more of a Bach follower but I love this movement so much and I think that Barenboim did a wonderful interpretation of it. I'm curious to know more about him.
@@stevem7 barenboim definitely loves Beethoven, he studied the entire hammerklavier when he was very young (10 I think, He said it in an interview I watched in hebrew)
I used to just venerate him. But he berated a drummer that thought he was pointing at him to take a solo bow after B finished conducting something and he just flipped out on him 💔Never dreamt my favorite interpreter of LB could be so mean😢.
I had someone stupid recently argue with me over how the violin must be more complicated than the piano because the piano keys are clearly defined so the moment you press you are basically pressing a correct note as opposed to the violin. THIS video is what differentiates a good pianist from a lousy one. It’s not about the piano being able to perform a clear note from one hit. It takes IMMENSE command to actually control the pressure of the note. One slight shake and you could either press too hard and that high notes will affect the next one and will sound so horrible. Imagine controlling the pressure of every note (one light and one hard another light and another hard) WHILE playing the left hand that plays something completely different in addition to controlling your feet to back it all up with the pedal. Yeah piano is easy my ass.
I think it's clear the learning curves are different. Violin is perhaps more difficult as a beginner because it's difficult to get a pleasant sound out of the instrument but both are obviously extremely difficult to play well, especially at such a high level.
The name of this sonata is so appropriate. Anytime you feel absolutely worthless and pathetic, this piece is almost telling you it understands, and that everything will somehow be okay. It truly is an expression of everything in a bad day. This piece magically stops your tears in their tracks, and for this reason it is very special to me.
I had a Baby Einstein CD when I was extremely little and it's just a haze when I'm trying to remember it. The only thing I can hear when I'm trying to remember is this piece and this is the sole reason I am this passionate about piano. I've been playing for nearly 10 years and just started building up my repertoire and I started with Moonlight Sonata's third movement but this sonata is just extremely nostalgic and special for me. I'm now 15 and just remembering those memories literally make me cry. This is just a beautiful interpretation I love it
Its pieces like this that make me still have hope. Not in an edgy teenager way, but how you can hear the conflict then it resolves it. I dont know how to explain it, but that's how I interpret it. It's like overcoming difficulties and it kind of gives me the strength to go on.
When my son, Nicholas and my daughter Natalie, where getting ready for school, I would play this. It brings back wonderful memories and the music is timeless.
thumbs up if you already knew that Billy Joel's song, 'This Night', from the 'Innocent Man' album, is (obviously) based upon this movement of this piece.
I remember asking my Mom how could someone write such a beautiful piece of music; she was quite the Pianist. She said those were different times and Beethoven was in a state to where he was able to draw those feelings out and apply them to music. Sad but beautiful - it's easy to get emotional listening to this.
So, obviously you have a great taste, keep it that way! :-) Just for info - I have studied not only music history, but MUSIC for almost 20 years (like a classical piano player) and I can assure you - that still remains one of my favorite pieces so far... ;-)
sgtmerker2401 not at all !! It is the genius of BARENBOIM he is the piano genius ... it is a technique not everyone can learn except for the gifted people like him
God, I love this piece! Beethoven expressed so much emotion in his compositions. A true genius (that himself did not even realize in his time). Composed in 1798 (217 years ago)! Wow.........EPIC sonata!
I played this song for so long now yet when Barenboim plays the first notes soo smoothely and with such emotion it puts all my yours of studying are put to shame. I get absolute goosebumps when i listen to this, each time
Thank you, so much for offering us your genius. It's nice to hear a soul go away from this earth. It's even nicer to take their trip with them. No sheet music...
There is no perfection in this world... but I feel his interpretation and play is one of perfection😭🙏🌅❤ Each note is played by love. Thank you for sharing.
It's a beautiful thing that we can share in some of the composer's magic and satisfaction by learning to read what's written on the page. Marvelous performance by this gentleman.
My father played this song often on the Piano, he loved Beethoven. Whenever i came home, i heard him play piano, jass or classic music, he was a judge but in his heard he was a musician. Thanks to you playing this music- reminds me of childhood days. Every politician should play Beethoven bevor becomming a politician.
My dad's favorite composer & this was one of his favorite songs from Beethoven, he had the vinyl, it had pictures of lightnings on the album cover. Bring me to tears because he passed away right after Christmas in 2016.
This is just so beautiful! It touches my heart every time I listen to it. The emotion is kind of sad and kind of appreciate... And when the minor comes it just transition normally... And Barenboim performs it as what Beethoven was thinking... He is so into it!
Beethoven seems to like this theme very much, he used this theme 16 years later as the opening passage of his Adagio in the 9th Symphony, but instead of resolving down he goes up, you will see this piece entirely anew :)
Of course the entire sonata is a work of art (especially the first 2 movements), personally @4:37-4:45 is my favorite part. I always slow it down a bit when I'm playing and get to that part, sometimes I'll even tear up because of how beautiful it is and how many emotions and memories it evokes. I love Beethoven so much.
Only after learning to play this piece can I truly appreciate how well he lets the melody come out over everything else happening on the piano. So difficult and so perfectly done.
Anyone that could compose such a tender melody is of a pure heart that has been broken. Beethoven was a genius, but what I love most about him is the rather transparent nature of his compositions. He was only human, and one can hear exactly that through his works. What a soul! I'd love to have witnessed him play this piece.
Absolutely sublime. Greatest performance of this movement, ever. Perfect tempo, gorgeous phrasing, so delicate. I could listen to this over and over. I think it’s the most beautiful piece of music ever written. Genius Beethoven, anointed by God. ♥️🙏🏻
I've been experiencing some rough times, but wherever and whatever I'm doing, when I stop and listen to this in my mind, it puts everything into perspective again.

this song feels like someone hugging you...
I wonder what Beethoven was feeling when he composed the 2nd movement
Bocelli "Con te partirò" has the same vibe. Just listened to it on repeat all day 😊

That's like saying guitar is the bitch of chord instruments bc it has cheat bars separating everything
All this while reading F and G clef at the same time
As the old adage goes, piano is easy to learn, but brutally difficult to master.
Barenboim playing Beethoven is simply magical..
It's calming heartwarming and sorrowful all at the same time. Too beautiful for words.

You can't not shed a tear listening to this performance.
That has to be the only time you can get away with using a double negative. :)
I agree. It's a very emotional piece.
Alexander Scriabin good for you
In tears listening to this piece. It evoked deep-seated emotions . 😢
This soothes my broken heart 🥲
This man cherishes every single note he plays, and thus his interpretation sounds so soothing to my soul...
this piece is so beautiful..I don't know how or what to feel or how to describe it. It just leaves me breathless
If Beethoven were to approve of any modern interpretation of his work, it'd be Barenboim.
yundi also did a pretty good job imo
He understood the assignment.

Ay, Dios mío, mi corazón!!! ❤ Cuánta belleza!! ❤
This song brings me great comfort.
I’m here from Billy Joel’s This Night, I can see why he used this (at 0:07). Both versions, this and Joel’s adapted one are very nice.
Who was the simp who said Beethoven couldn't write good melodies! This is one of the greatest of all time!!
Who said that?
Andrew Morton some people who say that "Beethoven is just like Mozart just with less feeling"
T. Alexander E. Lol tell them to listen to this and then tell me LvB "lacks feeling"!
Bernstein said it.
ridiculous! in fact Elgar wrote a piece based on a conversation he had with a friend about Beethoven's 2nd movements. they're that special...
this one always brings me to tears.
