beethoven's one of the best composers lol but for this category I think liszt wins that(check out his grande douze etude no. 8, absolute masterpiece with smooth emotional transitions)
And also, I love how Beethoven can turn a song emotional or dark by using only white keys, which are generally used to make happy music, and the C major scale is the happiest scale too! But he did it, Beethoven could do the impossible, the unimaginable.
@@Mehrshad84 since we work on a 12 tone equal temperament system, all scales starting on each note have the exact same harmonic relationships. Before, when we had a just intonation system, tuning was based on harmonic ratios relating to one root note (usually C), making other scales comparatively less in tune and therefore could have the ability to make keys "happier" or "sadder", as the harmonic relationships had changed and we base happiness and sadness in music usually on harmonic relationships.
Absolutely sublime. 0:27 to 0:39 always reminds me of a parent telling a child 'No." "but Dad...?" "I said NO." 'but.. why not..?'. 'I SAID NO!" RAGEEEEE
Ludwig. if you make him do some simple multiplication or division you'll get nothing. but if you make this man sit on the piano he'll take you to another world. just amazing.
Yes, Beethoven's genius is his music and his math, the notes and sequences of notes are related to calculations of maths... Therefore Beethoven was very good at maths too.
@@Quidoute well I don't know if that is true, but still, music and math are interconnected. His maths would be naturally good in that case. At least, that's what I know. :)
Ann Foushee 15 years ago ...performed this whole sonata and Schubert s Wanderer Fantasy back to back....this was my human equivalent of a marathon. ..though not executed like the masters...exhaustingly good feeling
Beethoven's the best composer I knew since I was a child even though he is deaf, he still wrote some beautiful music. He's symphonies are one of the best music's I've heard. His music applies emotions and everything. And it really makes me feel like emotional happened and it kinda feels. So thank God for giving us such a master composer.
For me, this movement is more difficult than the 3rd. I attempted them both. The 3rd movement's left hand is a killer, but it's okay when you do it slowly, it's getting it up to speed that's the problem. This movement however kills both hands. There are some passages here that are more difficult than the entire 3rd movement
@@jimmycurry5113 Yeah I agree, but not this one. I love the second movement a lot and people discount it as "easy and slow", but I do not believe that.
James Hakai I'm not sure. I'm learning this Sonata with my teacher and the dynamics at 1:54 are a complete nightmare. Both parts are very difficult for sure. But at 1:54 you need to strike the main melody notes much stronger than the others and that is a nightmare to me
Beethoven has woven this piece into an art of violent rage, aggression, and isolation. He’s telling you that he’s still here and that, that is who he was. But the main reason for this piece is a refusal from a woman, and his ambivalent feelings toward his brother’s happiness. He felt frustrated enough to express his true thought and rage.
dont worry, you'll get it, i learn some parts of that one To be honest, idk nothing about piano, but i played it, and i learned what i can, which in this case, the first part, and the last part, not the middle one, cuz it's to hard for me, but im happy with what i learned c:
I don't know why there a synthesia piano tutorial on this song. You really just need to learn the music with actual music. This is a college leveled song. I'm in my second month of my freshman year at college and I've been learning this since the beginning of 2015. :/ It's definitely worth it though. It's a total masterpiece.
Honestly, the best way to learn how to read music efficiently is to literally just keep reading music the real way. Long term, it's much better. Things like this can't exactly show you expression or articulation, etc. The only way to learn it by listening is by constantly listening over and over and over again, which can get really annoying. Learning music by reading music is extremely effective, and remember, there's not actually any pieces available on Synthesia or by MIDI. However, there's hundreds of thousands of thousands of sheet music out there with masterpieces like this.
Hey look, a person who actually knows what't they're talking about! I haven't played that Liszt piece but I have heard it many times. I think the Liszt is slightly easier than the Beethoven Sonata, but I can't say that for sure
Been practicing this for about 2 weeks now, gotta say the notes are not the hard part. Playing this piece with the amount of emotion Beethoven intended is what’s truly difficult about it.
I'm agree, I've been practicing this piece for almost a year I can play all the notes correctly but it is extremely difficult to make it sound like beethoven wanted
Beethoven was one sick mofo... Let make this unplayable incredible song, it would be like putting a immortality golden apple just a bit off arm's reach but to get the extra inch you will have to work your ass off... if you don't want you can just listen then...
Now you know why Hitler invaded Europe. No country could produce a composer who could write something like the Appassionata and therefore had no right to exist as free nations alongside Germany.
Am I the only one who finds this entire piece to be rather strange sounding? Especially that part at 0:43 ; what's up with that? There's a number of parts that sound pretty good, but I think a lot of it is really weird.
I felt the same way the first time i heard it too. Its hard to explain, the more you listen the more it makes sence. Now that part at 0:43 is one of my favorite parts
professor de portuga do YT If I have the wrong person, completely ignore this comment, yet I'm very sure I don't. But sir, it seems to me you couldn't believe I'm self taught. I mean this as encouragement. I am, and I'm positive you and everyone else can do the same. Do mind however that I spent all of my free time playing piano to reach that level, and that my technique is broken up ( I intend to fix that soon enough, I'm applying for a music school ). I am positive that with enough practice everyone can achieve the same, though it's probably a better choice to go to music school
Enjoy the first movement of this great and powerful sonata by Beethoven!

A marvellous example of the constantly changing moods in Beethoven's music.
beethoven's one of the best composers lol but for this category I think liszt wins that(check out his grande douze etude no. 8, absolute masterpiece with smooth emotional transitions)
I love how the mood gets darker at around 2:53, thank God for giving us Beethoven!

The arpeggios in this piece take you to another world.
I love the parts like these from 1:21 to 1:30 where its like a subtle but beautiful reminder of the central theme
When you play this you can go to another worlds, it's so amazing!!!

nah, this is better than any of mozart's pieces, combined.

And 7:35
Markers for me to learn : 0:36 , 2:14 (or from 2:10 2:11 ), 4:27 , and 7:52 to 8:27 ; Best moments.

As a person who played this piece I can say that the run at 0:36 is harder than the whole moonlight sonata combined
How about the part @7:52 - 8:28? :)
@@DefinitelyNotFelis. I think the main hard part is the LH jumps but besides that it’s actually not that hard
