I remember playing this when I played a sonata. I agree with you on this being the entry-level Sonata
This sonata is extremely helpful for the student. First movement teaches the basics of the sonata form in a clear way. The Menuet is a sort of reduced version of the one in the 8th Violin sonata.
It'd be good to complete the study with the op. 49 n. 1 which has a first movement with more elaborated development section and most of all a very nice small Rondo example.
Interesting interpretation, especially dynamics
Thank you for introducing this sonata, just I‘m looking for.
Thanks for the great video ❤❤❤
This is excellent. I absolutely love it
Bravo Denis, Brillantissimo played with great dynamics and taste !! I enjoyed this more than a Mozart sonata. I have also returned to the classical repertoire. it feels like a bowl of natural fresh air and an open sky after being in the heavy and tormented cluttered romantics dungeons. You probably remember me from earlier exchanges trying to solve my right thumb cramp tension that is ruining all my piano progress. Well, i have decided to pause Chopin Etudes entirely ( i covered all 24 but am not fluent with them to perform) and am now learning Czerny Op 849 Studies in Mechanism. A huge step backwards. It's for "young pupils" but my right hand even struggles to play that effortlessly because of the thumb tensions. In fact i cannot even play all the 30 studies well !! What is more haunting me is why do I have this problem ? I vaguely remember at around age 13 i sprained my right thumb in schoolyard ball sports ball game and a second time not long after, nothing major but enough that i had to keep the thumb immobilized for almost 3 weeks. I don't remember any sequels from that, i thought i recovered completely but now i wonder if this has caused the problem. At the time i was not piano trained, i was an organ music student which is a different technique but I remember thumb tensions started to happen when playing pieces with a lot of thumb passing but i thought it was just poor technique that i would overcome. Well many decades later, and having learned the piano for 15 years now this is my major issue.
I am unable to find any physiological anomalies with my right hand that would be evident sequel of an accident. But i still believe maybe something subtle could have been altered and healed but i hope not. It seems nobody has this problem, do you have any students with this problem ? and my left hand sure does not. I don't feel any movement limitation in either hand. It always "wants" to happen when passing the thumb under and back out while playing with the other fingers. Basically scales, repeated note with 3-2-1 or the worst is crossing down the index or middle finger over the thumb and uncrossing it. It seems to build a tension that insidiously within a page of music score or two becomes a cramp where the thumb literally stays bent under even if i stop playing, and i have to bent it backward with strong intention.
Czerny 849 is no easy stuff if to play them up to tempo despite their shortness!
Yes, I remember your mysterious thumb stories.
I
There is no chance I could guess the right reason. I would recommend to definitely find a good physician and see whether there is some muscle spasm next to the thumb that blocks a normal blood circulation. Another thing is to address your issue with a good teacher (sometimes you have to try a few until you find the one who will be able to precisely solve your issue).
Make sure you don’t use muscles that drive your thumb much, rely on the forearm rotation more. I can’t help you more than that, unless you show up for a lesson! Good luck.
@@DenZhdanovPianist Thanks Denis you are the best Online Pianist and Teacher and human being. I think Czerny Op. 849 marked tempo are impractical on modern piano, and maybe in his days too. The 11 year old Yuja Wang has 1998 videos for all of them here on youtube and she is playing at around at -30% less tempo but with such a full clear tone and i was referring to her tempo even. 🥲
@@DenZhdanovPianist I followed Czerny Op 849 with Op 636 : preliminary school in finger dexterity. Although it looks simple in texture on the page, I never practiced anything that is more humbling making you feel like sh.. as a pianist (at least when practicing Chopin's etudes you get a whiff of delectable harmonies even if you struggle with learning the technique). And to make it even more discouraging Czerny put ridiculous tempo markings about 4 times faster than the tempo i use when first reading it (it seems it was a trend of the era with Chopin following suit with his etudes). Come on Czerny ! if you write exercises for young pupils to build a strong foundation why do you put tempi that even virtuoso like Hamelin would struggle with and have to compromise to reach ?! This is stupid. I know Czerny era's piano's were so light action that the main difficulty was only to get the fingers on the right keys fast enough, but with modern pianos that is far from enough, it takes 90% more technique to produce an equal tone and a tone at all ! It feels like casting your two feet in cement shoes weighing 10 kilos each and then trying to dance ballet ! That is what it feels like to learn Czerny on a modern piano and forget about the tempo completely.
The exercises with all kinds of repeated note pattern intertwined with other fingers make me feel like i am handicapped, even with no tempo at all, i cannot learn it. 😓
@@DenZhdanovPianistHi Denis, i want to write a funny but actually serious opinion about Czerny. I bought four of his most popular pedagogic exercises books recently. I knew they are terribly boring but their pedagogic value is well established. Whenever i struggle learning them i remind myself of Robert Schumann's quote : "No other musician has ever been a greater total failure in imagination than Karl Czerny." Which i find extremely amusing. And I agree with Schumann but i also know what i didn't know decades ago, that to build a solid technique foundation, this kind of simple music exercises (but not simple technically) where the mind can focus on solving technical problems that surface clearly and with organized redundancy without getting distracted by the seduction of music is of great value. This is the only correct approach to master piano technique from a young age. It requires tremendous patience and humility from the student and a will to learn to play it right without the reward of rich musical piece, which young children are capable of but not adults. Except maybe adults who understand this (finally). Also i think that the advice of adult accomplished pianists is often useless when it comes to the importance of these exercises for the simple reason that if you were to ask an adult how to learn to walk or to ride a bicycle their answers will be useless because they learned it as toddlers and it is second nature to them, not something they even understand but can just do. It's the same with playing the piano.
🐾👻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ plz post more videos of playing I truly love your playing soooooooo much
Thank you Denis for a very enjoyable piece , but can you please explain the reason for your hand movements especially the left hand. I have not noticed that before, at least it is more exaggerated .
Hi, thanks!
The technical approach and technique efficiency is discussed in detail in the course, link in description!
hello dennis, i'm just curious about your articulation choices - could you tell me as to why you detach some of the notes marked legato?
This is a public domain score with plenty of editor’s suggestions. I cannot display the Henle Urtext edition which I normally use
@@DenZhdanovPianist o right of course! thanks for the reply.
If this is entry level then I'm way back at the end of the queue 😂👍. Told my teacher I'd like to tackle Beethoven Pathetique one day. Maybe in 15-20 years 😅.
(Entry level Beethoven sonata😅)
