Biret: 00:00 - Mvt 1 05:15 - Mvt 2 Lewis: 08:48 - Mvt 1 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).

@@crucifiedcardiologist7990 I mean, it depends how you look at it, since the term 'beginner' is pretty vague.

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 It, along with No. 20, had been written almost ten years earlier but set aside by Beethoven as not to be published.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.
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.
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 :)
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
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.
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...
I didn't read the description so I was very confused to find the whole sonata played twice in this video! I was asking myself, "why are they playing the first movement again, after the second movement?!" Sometimes you see pieces where it says "Andante da capo" (in other words, play the earlier movement again), but I didn't see anything like that here!
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
Most of Beethoven is not Classical in the sense of Mozart and Haydn, nor is it Romantic as in Schumann, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Berlioz, and Liszt for example. Like Rossini, Cherubini, Clementi, Hummel and a few others, I usually refer to Beethoven as post-Classical, though this trivia of Opus 49 is difficult to classify at all, and in truth, not really worth the trouble anyway as it amounts really to little more than the sonatinas for beginners like those of Clementi and Kuhlau et al.
Didn't Beethoven composed this sonata and °no 20 for his students?.... they're simple and easy to play...made sense that he'd compose these for the purpose of teaching...
Dan Ordel Both sonatas Opus 49 are so far short of the other thirty musically, technically, and dramatically and emotionally, that they are better not included in the canon at all (No 1 is better than No 2). For whomever they were intended, we know that Beethoven did not regard them worthy of an Opus number, a privilege he reserved only for his best works.

Which man of two?

Since Idil Biret is a lady, i am guessing 'this man' is Lewis, possibly Paul Lewis.

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

For the 2nd mvt - I think a "A - (transition) - B - (transition) - A - C - B - A - Coda" interpretation would be more accurate.
I played this song, but he played it amazingly 😊
I like Lewis's rather more emotional approach- especially in the first movement.
