Composed between 1800 and 1801, the Sonatas Nos. 11-13 bridge two very different periods in Beethoven's piano sonatas. Scholar Charles Rosen has described the Sonata No. 11 in B-flat major, Op. 22 (composed in 1800) as the composer's 'farewell to the eighteenth century'. lt was for Beethoven the culmination of the older classical style. With the Sonata No. 12 in A-flat major, Op. 26 on the other hand, Beethoven departs from tradition. Published in Vienna in 1802, only the last movement, a Rondo allegro, is in a conventional form. The third movement, a funeral march 'for an unknown hero', is especially admired, an was played at the composer's own funeral. The stylistic departure began in Op. 26 continued in the two sonatas of Op. 27, which Beethoven completed in 1801 and published together with the description 'quasi una fantasia'. As with the preceding sonata, in Sonata No. 13 in E flat major, Op. 27 No. 1, Beethoven again chose unconventional forms, beginning with the opening movement: an Andante-Allegro-Andante structure that suggests a suite, particularly in the middle 6/8 section.
The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim has been active on the concert stage since the age of seven when he made his stage debut in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim is described as "one of the few musicians in the world today who could accurately be describe as legendary".

The 2nd movement makes a fantastic warmup for a practice section because of the quasi-symmetrical parts of the left and right hand.

Questa edizione mostra un Baremboin molto più maturo rispetto alla precedente degli anni 66-69.Per me rimane il migliore interprete delle sonate di Beethoven per tecnica ed espressione.

[@balazsvitalyos9140]

It is not dedicated to Joseph Haydn. It is dedicated to Fürstin von Lichtenstein

[@nomiguda]

That's a beautiful piano.

[@MichaelTLam]

The first phrase of the Adagio resembles the first phrase of Mvt II of Piano Concerto 3

I thought was going to be slow the whole time. 😂
But in all seriousness the play is amazing Daniel Barenboim is a master at Beethoven.

[@martinross6689]

It really was very good, he does tend to be more on the romantic side of the Beethoven tradition, he is excellent in his expression of the emotions of this tragic abyss of a sonata. His second movement was masterful and I loved it

[@Schleiermacher1000]

I really want to know why wrong dedications are always given. Is there a reason for that?

Ein ehemaliger Bekannter berichtet mir mal wie er vor lauter Wut die Noten dieser Sonate zerrissen hat, weil sie ihm zu schwierig war. :-)
