Yes! I've been waiting for this sonata. Joking I've often said that Beethoven didn't compose his pieces, he painted them. This sonata is a prime example of what I meant, and you visualized it in an excellent manner. Thank you Smalin
Your channel helps out when I'm looking for more classical music, and I have to say that this is probably one of the best things that I've listened to so far. Thanks!
I love this! The music and animations together are just amazing, and I love how the harmonic coloring works to show to how close notes feel to each other...
Very interesting treatment of the arpeggios - in some places you've treated them as parallel bands, and elsewhere as a single oscillating motif. (Around 5:00 is a prime example)
Here's an idea I hope you'll like. For each feeling in the piece you could have a different shade of a color in the background (for example, maybe the beginning of this piece could have a sort of dark bluish color until the music grows a bit louder where it turns to a very sharp purple). I hope you understand what I'm suggesting, Stephen. :D
@@vigokovacic3488 Sorry, I don't remember. If I posted one with a varying background color, it might be visible in the thumbnails, so you could go through my videos and look for ones with a background color that's other than black or white.
Rays of tones fall from cloudy sky (or heaven). Very nice. Perspective is other potential direction of visualization. Great. Problem is I don't like viola da gamba sound. It seems to me obtrusive.
Oh, I put it in the wrong window (The comment is for Bach sonata). And this video is awesome. It is possible to see the musical structure and patterns and how Beethoven managed to combine very simple motives in a brilliant way. Finally, colors begin to blend in and it's a very nice. The interval of two or more tones played at the same time is actually a new tone and should have its own color.
I seem to appreciate Mozart without much difficulty. But I find Beethoven difficult to get through. Will anyone be kind enough to suggest a graded way to appreciate Beethoven? What work should I start with?
Watch the BBC documentary here on youtube, about his life and death. It helped me understand the context he wrote in. Then I would suggest listening to his quartets and symphonies, the quartet having such a different feeling from what we usually think of Beethoven's work.
Pradeep Kumar Unless you let the emotion rather than melody take over it's pretty difficult. Beethoven wasn't a very great melody writer, but he was amazing at developing them and taking them to levels Mozart hadn't done. The melody wasn't always what was important about the piece. Sometimes it's the emotion, attitude, surprise, and taking ideas to new places rather than what's expected.
Jeff Seid That's the exact opposite of how you should treat certain types of music. An uneducated person listening to Bach or Schoenberg is going to have absolutely no clue what they should be listening for, yet many people find their music to be astounding, genius and beautiful.
Also at 7:22. The 2:33 sounds an exact octave higher than the one at 7:22, indicating that whatever it is could be affected by essentially the same pitch, like a mic stand or the casing of some device and not a defect in the piano.

Leone Tassinari Interestingly enough, Beethoven once said that he always has a picture in his mind when he composes, and follows the picture.
I love piano music on this channel, it's a different feeling entirely
The Beethoven sonatas are probably the best pieces composed for solo piano. Great job with the video!
Jumppanen's interpreation is brilliant. It's one of the few I know which do the piece justice. Thanks for the video!
Breathtaking performance and animation, thank you for making this one.
This is a pleasure for my eyes. I'm learning this piece, I love it!

The passage at 2:16 really reminds me of his 9th symphony 2nd movement
supermarc45 Sounds like pure Beethoven.
You can really see the "waves" of the tempest throughout the animation!
I love this! The music and animations together are just amazing, and I love how the harmonic coloring works to show to how close notes feel to each other...
Fabulous. The music, of course, but the images complemented very nicely. I love the more organic imagery. Beethoven's jaw would have dropped.
Very interesting treatment of the arpeggios - in some places you've treated them as parallel bands, and elsewhere as a single oscillating motif. (Around 5:00 is a prime example)
Right; you can hear it either way, so I decided to show it both ways.
Right! These videos are a refined work of interpretation.
Your animations are getting even more beautiful! Thanks!
one of my favorite from Beethov', thank you for the wonderful work :)
0:15 perfect order
Glorious
On repeat.
thanks for uploading!!!
wonderful presentation. thank you!
I had long anticipated your posting this piece. Would that I had been the one to perform. But to be a career musician is not my fate.
Apago la luz en mi estudio, cierro mis ojos ... oigo con placer las notas que Paavali regala a mis sentidos. Kiitos Beethoven ja Paavali.
Great music and visuals.
Beautiful!
I like it. I like a lot.
Thanks !
Nice coincidence, yesterday I finished watching the anime Zetsuen no Tempest which uses this music :P
These type of visuals mess with my head in a good way.
There is a mistake in 2:07.
Minunat! Înălțător!
I love this
Thankyou
always loved you...
It sounds so sad in double beat :(( I think I like this sonata in single beat more. thank you for sharing this though ! :)
@bryanv.5588 - What on earth are you talking about?
@@warmswarm Classical music terms you can easily Google
I played this sonata last year.

I have experimented with that idea, but I don't find it very useful.
@@smalin I see! Do you have a video where you've done this already so I can check it out?
@@vigokovacic3488 Sorry, I don't remember. If I posted one with a varying background color, it might be visible in the thumbnails, so you could go through my videos and look for ones with a background color that's other than black or white.
@@smalin Thank you! I'll do just that!
Please do Beethoven's Pathetique in color->pitch
See "Could you please ..." in the FAQ.
He has done it now.

What The Back to the 1st form 1:28
What piano do you usually use for this recordings?
I'm not sure why you're asking (since I didn't record this myself).
Everybody plays Beethoven too slowly...
He did not use the metronome correctly, that's why.
I seem to appreciate Mozart without much difficulty. But I find Beethoven difficult to get through. Will anyone be kind enough to suggest a graded way to appreciate Beethoven? What work should I start with?

2:33 what on earth is that sound?
Also at 7:22. The 2:33 sounds an exact octave higher than the one at 7:22, indicating that whatever it is could be affected by essentially the same pitch, like a mic stand or the casing of some device and not a defect in the piano.
