Vielen Dank dafür, dass Sie uns nicht nur eine herausragende Performance auf einem großartigen Instrument mit uns teilen, sondern auch Ihre Gedanken zu diesen Werken, die auch nach mehr als 200 Jahren zeitgenössisch sind. Eine Ermutigung an die Community, sich immer wieder damit zu befassen.

Piano music on the highest level.

This is really a musician's sonata! It is underrated by the general public because it's not ultra-dramatic like so much of Beethoven's sonata-writing, but it has so much sure-handed development and a lyrical sweetness and poetic imagery to it. I think there's a flavor of a kind of innocent romantic love in the first stages that's depicted here, in different ways, in both movements. And the interesting key, for Beethoven, of F-sharp major keeps the pianist's hands close up to the fallboard as "home' is placed "up on the terrace" of the black keys. I love the way the final movement begins on the dissonant chord that doesn't resolve until the end of the phrase. Then there's the cat-and-mouse-chase feel to the entire finale that you also explicitly mention here. Indeed, like the first stages of love.
