when Beethoven dedicated these 3 sonatas to Hadyn (#1-3), Hadyn was worried that they were too technically demanding for casual pianists, particularly this, the last of the 3. Beethoven was probably not so pleased with this response. I find Beethoven's use of E major in the second movement amazing, especially when he modulates to C major for a second and then immediately goes back to E, it's like "yeah I could be in C. not trying to be in C tho. so back we go!"
This is wonderful, but I have to say that--for me at least--Schnabel's performance of the Adagio does not come close to the pathos of Richter's (in Moscow. Leningrad, or Prague).
Second movement sounds great, but when he waits so long on the pause, those sincopated notes that are tied over the bar-line sound as they were the strong beat. I mean, that's not a place where i would do much rubato...
@@oi.meunomeejaorampvp5846 olla, it's the piano sounds funny. as thought the pitch was sped up 3 folds making it sound like a 'pew pew' , it's characteristic of ragtime pianos to sound like that... but also says a lot about the problems with piano with just or equal temperament
Will the Schnabel mystique never end. What a mess. Granted he may have been a good teacher, but hose who flocked to him gave him his reputation. They, even the youngest, were blessed with extraordinary gifts. Here he has no regard for note values or tempi which tend to fluctuate for no reason at all.
Listen to the slow movement. It's magical. When I want to get inside the soul of the music, I listen to Schnabel. If precision were all that mattered, we'd all be listening to MIDI.
Compare with Brendel... The difference in accuracy and sensiblity stands lightyears ahead of this. To be honest do I not understand this whole Schnabel-mystification as well... without intending to be offensive...🤔🤔🤔

Brian Bernstein
did not know that, but
that makes perfect Haiku sense
when you love Haydn
la escuchaba de niño y es espectacular. siempre sonaba en mi mente hasta que logré encontrarla. gracias por publicarla.
No better choice than Schnabel. Glorious performance. Thank you.
Wow - that scherzo is just nuts and pretty decent recording too!
11:09 starts an amazingly eerie vibe. I feel like I've heard it in a movie.
Spooky!
Third mov is breathtaking!
The whole sonata is breathtaking!
The whole sonata is ^^
Very good awesome

Thanks so much for posting!!!!! Schnabel -- "the man who invented Beethoven!!"
grazie

The 3rd movement in some parts sound like the 3rd mov of the symphony 9.
Daniel Maia You're right super cute boy
Yes bitch

Гениально!
Fuck comunism!
Idiot!
I remember that Allegro Assai movement being hard as hell to play...
Piper12056 Hard as rock
Particularly 86-94
The second mouvement is played Adagio, adagio on the eight notes, while it's 2/4. Can some enlightened person explain me ?
Would be better adagio for the quartet note like gigant slow steps
Awesome
10:45 Sounds like Alkan Le festin d'Esope
I like to play Beethoven very much. Which grade is this sonata?
ABRSM: LRSM. Very Difficult
Justin Chung There is something above very difficult?
Justin Chung Answer the dude
Advanced. Very advanced.
the best
This instrument is not in tune is it

10:03 Adagio...
And it's not 10:03. It is 10:04 ;) :)
Daniel Maia Well, thanks for correcting then, if one second is that important!
Susanna Danielyan Of course it is! In music it is! Can you play Beethoven?
Daniel Maia In this case it isn't! I can, indeed.
Susanna Danielyan You must be very inteligent girl. Beethoven is only for smart people
17:25. ops :S

One day you will regret writing this.

@@Beethovens.Heritage I compare Schnabel here with Richter whose 1960 Leningrad performance is far more moving, especially the Adagio.
hes great
