Beethoven: Sonata No.19 in G Minor, Op.49 No.1 (Biret, Lewis)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 มิ.ย. 2024
- B.’s two Op.49 sonatas (really sonatinas) are misnumbered: they were written at around the same time as the 3rd and 4th sonatas, but were published a lot later because B. never intended that they be published (we’ve got his brother to thank that these sonatas are known at all.) Both sonatas are small, two-movement, unassuming pieces, unabashedly classical in style, and constructed rather straightforwardly for (in all likelihood) some of B.’s friends (or their children).
Which is not to say they are not wonderful pieces. The 19th sonata has a particularly moving first movement, with a starkly doleful first theme and a lyrical second. The second movement is struck through with little dashes of humour, starting from its rather long upbeat. And though it is not a radically new or innovative, the 19th perfectly written for what it is: an example of the classical two-movement form, concise, graceful, with a naturalness of expression that only the greatest classical composers ever achieved.
MVT I, Andante
EXPOSITION
00:00 - Theme 1
00:30 - Theme 2
00:58 - Codetta
DEVELOPMENT
02:16 - Theme 2, decomposed
02:25 - A developmental Theme 3, introduced and repeated with ornamentation
02:43 - Sequential treatment of the Codetta, with dominant preparation reached at 3:00 and chromaticism introduced at 3:08 to build up tension
03:21 - RECAPITULATION, with some elaboration of the themes
04:22 - CODA, with Theme 2 in bass, and an eerie final passage leading to a cadence on a Picardy third
MVT II, Rondo (allegro)
05:15 - A Section
05:35 - B Section
05:55 - C Section (Bb maj)
06:35 - B section
06:52 - Transition. The A theme pretends to enter in G min.
06:55 - A theme
07:25 - C section (now in G maj)
08:06 - It looks like we’re back to the A theme, but we’ve actually slipped into the
CODA
08:09 - The A theme transfers registers
08:20 - We build to a dramatic pause that must herald some kind of cadenza, but
08:24 - Instead the A theme comes in again in the LH, segueing into a warm passage, using the opening motif of this movement, that brings the piece to a close. - เพลง

13:30 - Mvt 2
Biret’s interpretation has an emotional intensity that creeps up on you: it might be a function of the slow tempo or of her rather personal way with the articulation, but the first movement has a surprisingly Bach-ian sense of grief. The second movement is a real lovely thing to listen to: there are lively staccatos everywhere, and the rhythmic perkiness in the C section at 5:55, with those LH bass notes plucked out, is kind of addictive. Lewis has a decidedly romantic and expansive approach to the work. The first movement is lush and at points almost lullaby-like; the second has moments of surprising drama, micro-tempests that are actually quite persuasive: see 15:38 (cf Biret’s more stark, precise approach at 05:40).
How does TH-cam end up thinking someone different played each movement?

Well, I am 15 and now playing it. Now I feel bad.
A great first piece for those who want to start understanding and playing beethoveen
He is my favourite composer (irrelevant note: Ludwig Von Koopa was named after him).
He and I are similar in many ways.

Trust me. Its damn hard for beginners.
@@crucifiedcardiologist7990 I mean, it depends how you look at it, since the term 'beginner' is pretty vague. It's true that for a lot of people this is the first Beethoven sonata they learn, the easiest of his with the label 'sonata', I myself have been playing for about a year and a half now and I'm learning it right now, so of course if you are a 'beginner' it is pretty hard, but every new piece is in some aspect hard for a beginner, it is meant to be, otherwise you are probably not learning the right pieces.
@@crucifiedcardiologist7990 I know, I play it. What I mean is that in it you find basic concepts of Beethoveen pianistic composition that are way more elaborated and complex in later sonatas.
Happy 250th birthday Beethoven!
The C section of the Second Movement is my absolute favorite part to play. It's so relaxed and playful.
My friend said she's that one kid who listens to Beethoven and now I understand why.
Beethoven is life
this piece is about as unremarkable as Beethoven gets
why

子供の時コンクールの課題曲の中から先生がこの曲を選んだんだけど、当時の僕は重苦しくて全然楽しくない曲だなって思ってこの曲の魅力を見出せなかった上コンクールの結果も曲を表現しきれず落選でいい思い出なかったんだけど、大人になって聴き返してみたらすごく切なく繊細で素敵な曲だなって思えるようになった。チェックだらけの楽譜を久々に開いてもう一度この曲と向き合ってみようと思う。
A very under-rated sonata . Not as complex , abstruse , & virtuosic as some of his later ones , but a Faberge jewel in & of itself in the previous , neo-classic style .
Holy shit so pretensious. Just say that you like his work.
100%.
@@F_Du_Sea Oh come on bruh, how could you not listen to this piquant yet quasi-macabre hot house plant of a Sonata, sombre in it's intimate declarations yet exuberant in it's neo-rococco flamboyancy, and not want to wax poetic like Oscar Wilde after a cocaine induced night of ecstasy??
Reallybeautiful
Beethoven conposed this sonata for his piano students for teaching purposes....sonata #19 and #20 are known as the "easy sonatas"
I think there are many ways to play this piece and this man executed the 2nd movement very well
Which man of two?
Biret or Lewis?
Since Idil Biret is a lady, i am guessing 'this man' is Lewis, possibly Paul Lewis.
We can thank Kasper van Beethoven for this sonata. It, along with No. 20, had been written almost ten years earlier but set aside by Beethoven as not to be published. No. 19 in particular was set aside because Beethoven had re-written it into another work. Its publication had the effect of making it look like Beethoven was trying to pass off an previously written piece as something new. He was not happy with his brother, even though I and many other piano aficionados are grateful to Kasper for going over Ludwig's head.
What piece was this one reworked into?
0:30 is so splendid!
11:45 fourth bar
That's creepy
Mark Dougherty Thx, now Beethoven will haunt me in my dreams
WHAT IS THAT THING
What is that thing???
A while back, my instructor said that this is one of the ugliest songs in the sonatina album (she has stated that this is only her opinion! And I respect that.) In my opinion, it’s one of the prettiest in the sonatina album :)
I agree with you!👍😁
Simple and not at all complicated yet very expressive and beautiful piece!
It bring me to tears when I hear it.
For some reason 6:15 sounds a lot like Saint-Saëns’ Intro and Rondo capriccioso
Every time when I see the recommendation by ashish xiangyi kumar, I always give a thumb up because I know his/her taste will never disappointing us. Thank you Ashish xiangyi kumar.
This small Sonata somehow inspired 2 of Beethoven’s later sonatas, his 27th and 32nd Sonatas. A Minor Key first Movement in Sonata Form, followed by a Major mode finale.
Шикарное исполнение))

Such a catchy second movement
LIKE A BOSS!!!

3:11 The D in the 4th bar has fallen down..
It’s a D, smh
Maggie Xie It is

Yes, the type set slipped and was never corrected

Una de las mejores composiciones de Beethoven para mi gusto.
Magnificent!
thank you for the analysis's cues
처음으로 쳐본 베토벤소나타의 추억ㅜㅜ 우울하다가 밝아졌다가 또로록 거리는 트릴도 너무 좋았던 곡
Спасибо большое, я сейчас учу её, мне очень полезно послушать хорошее исполнение.

I’ve never seen notation like whatever is happening in the left hand on measure 61 of the first movement!
James Mitchell I think that’s just a printing mistake lmao
I saw that crooked weird note as well. It has to be a printing error of some kind.
The note seems to have broken away from its stem!
It definitely renders that note unreadable because you can't be certain whether it's a D or some other note
James Mitchell I have these exact same sheets and can’t help but at least smile when I see it
I loved the second movement especially, and it was played very well here.
I think Biret is the only pianist who's fortes sound like mezzopianos and pianos sound like mezzofortes lol
Yeah, not a huge fan of his use of dynamics at certain spots (particularly in the Rondo), but I still much prefer it over Lewis his (imo) excessive Legato
@@jordidewaard2937 her*
Early Beethoven is music itself
I distinctly remember playing this when I was 11 (I'm 15 now), but I remember so little about the piece. Weird.
thank you
This really helped me to play the piano better
At 2:08, it sounds similar to sonata Alma Deutscher composed in a minute.
LOL
Alma's sonata sounds similar to that part*
@@tutas7373 literally the same thing
@@GUILLOM literally its the same thing
But that implies that deutschers sonata was somehos first
@@tutas7373 no, it doesn't imply anything.
For the 2nd mvt - I think a "A - (transition) - B - (transition) - A - C - B - A - Coda" interpretation would be more accurate.
Thanks :)
So sad and expressive that Andante
музыка замечательная слушаю и наслаждаюсь
I love iiiits
amazing
Strange feel, im teenager but love classical music
Never a thing to be ashamed of! :) It's great music...
Your Not alone. 16 year old here
Same. I love piano and the pieces are just so beautiful!!!
I played this song, but he played it amazingly 😊
Setelah mendengar sonata ini aku merasa nostalgia dengan masa mudaku hahaha.
I like the uplifting part in the middle lol
GOOD

Mich auch. Aber nicht immer positiv. Er benutzt so ein starkes Rubato, dass es mich jedes Mal vom Hocker H

👏👏👍👍
It’s perfect
I don't understand, but, the introduction notes of the first movement are look like Requiem in D Minor by Mozart
Yes, especially the Lacrimosa.
But I think the beginning rather sounds like Piano concerto no.23 2nd movement (F-Sharp minor) by mozart
i see where chopin got his idea for his cello sonata, almost same chord progession

3:18 measure 61...note trying to escape the ostinato
I like Lewis's rather more emotional approach- especially in the first movement.
5:18 Did Beethoven just use a blues note?
*Kapi enters a chat*
Can't listen to the first theme without thinking of Chopin's cello sonata..

I'm listening all of the beethoven sonatas
Is this a good sonata to begin with if you are looking to get into Beethoven’s sonatas?
Eddie Hutchence yes i’m starting it for level eight!
@@chiyuki8709 I dont do levels, nor do I have a teacher. Oh well, I'll give it a shot :)
If you're looking for a next step after this, try Op. 49 No. 2 . Also a relatively easy piece with a small scope. Plenty of interesting musical material though!
Eddie Hutchence
No - the two Opus 49 sonatas, along with thee three juvenile works WoO 47 are not ‘real’ Beethoven; in other words, nobody will take you seriously if you say you can play Beethoven sonatas, and then when asked which ones, have to admit to any of these five.
Opus 49 was published by his brother against the composer’s wishes and he described them as ‘...trivial’ and ‘...not worthy of my name’.
Opus 49 No 1 is musically rather better than the uncharacteristically empty and facile Opus 49 No 2.
If you want to learn a Beethoven sonata, wait until you can manage the technical and musical challenges of the f minor Opus 2 No 1; it is ABRSM Grade 8 and in the German publisher Henle Verlag’s useful 1 -9 list of difficulty, a Level 6 (upper Intermediate).
A possible alternative first Beethoven sonata is the very different sonata Opus 79 which is ABRSM Grade 8+, and Henle Level 7 - lower advanced.
Jacob LyteHaven Opus 49 No 2 is not really a next step after No 1; it is a facile, uncharacteristically empty piece and technically less demanding than No 1.
In truth, both sonatas Opus 49 along with the three juvenile works WoO 47 should not really be counted amongst Beethoven’s piano sonatas and any player should wait until they can manage the technical and musical challenges of the f minor sonata Opus 2 No 1 before they can claim to play a real Beethoven sonata.

What’s the tempo?
its an allegro, so its in between 120 and 160 Crotchet per minute
Would this piece be recommendable for beginners?
Beautiful performances!
no way
Nope
Oh thanks
It depends what kind of beginner you are. If you are a complete beginner then no. If you have played some beginner mozart pieces before then yes.
Why there’s no pedal marking ?
3:09 He used this theme later in the developement of Moonlight sonata 3rd movement as well...
I am just about to start learning this piece after learning mozart sonata in c k.545. Cant wait for it to arrive in the post so i can play through it.
Is it me, or is the harmony and note use on this piece very much resemble the baroque era? Maybe it just gives me this feeling because of the g minor. Beethoven doesn't often use such keys...

Lewis is my choice. He does wonders with the first movement.
Sorry but I find his playing so boring and one dimensional.
Wilhelm Kempff's last full cycle everytime!
Is op 49 no. 1 or op 49 no. 2 easier?
They are both quite easy, but in my opinion no 2 is slightly easier
@@lawrencewei3583 ohh I see
@@lawrencewei3583 thks
Imo, no. 2 is a great deal easier. In my experience anyways.
Was this during the time they encouraged Beethoven to be like Mozart?

How Mozartoven is the second hole 1 mv 🎉😢?!

Can this piece being considered as a classical piece or a romantic one? And why?
I would definetely say it's classical. Although it's titled "Sonata No 19", it was written 1797 and has typical classical elements like Alberti Bass. The melodies are also close to Mozart and Haydn. But still, at moments like 4:49 one can already hear a more romantic side of Beethoven
