Beethoven has such versatility and contrast of emotions and dynamics . He was truly the all-complete composer . The gentle sweetness of this 2nd movement is such a joy and a contrast to his more stormy , virtuosic pieces.
Beethoven must have been in a good mood when he wrote this so gentle and sweet and unexpected after the first movement. Kempff the master of his instrument and obviously this work. He must have played it so many times.
@@angelanavarrete3864 The episodes in the second movement alternating between triplets and sixteenths in the left hand tonicize remote keys in rapid succession while preserving a melodic contour, which Schubert did also. Schubert was virtually a contemporary of Beethoven; their lives ended only a year apart, Schubert being only 31.
I am studying this right now -- love it! I was introduced to Opus 90 by my friend Prof. Cole, when I audited his Beethoven course at UCLA. He cited the second movement as a great rebuttal to those who claim that Beethoven is not a melodic composer. I would add the second movement of the Pathetique sonata to this list.
This sonata played by Kempf has been with me for 60 years. His tempo for the second movement obeys Beethoven: Nicht zu geschwind und sehr singbar vorztragen.
This is almost the middle work dividing his early and late sonatas. Loved it instantly. Well I am recording it in the moment, and Kempff inspired me to be as curageous tepo wise as him with my own felt accents. THANK YOU Wilhelm (RIP). You were one of the best Beethoven interpreters ever!

Tempo is just perfect. I think that most performers play it to fast.

Maybe he was sad and wrote it to feel better...?
The 2nd movement is really Schubertian ❤️
It isn't. Even though this was Beethoven's 27th piano sonata, the key changes cannot be classified as truly "romantic" as Schubert's.

I've studied piano my entire life and have never heard anyone say Beethoven is not a melodic composer.
I always thought it was the most Schubertian of Beethoven's writing. It gives me no end of joy.
The second movement is sublime the tempi is spot on
Sigh...... long sigh............💫🙏
Most beautiful ever
Good job thanks 👍🏻

True Beethoven!

No. 27 doesn't get played as often as some of the other sonatas. Perhaps because it doesn't have a nickname.
"Little Schubert"
