The second movement really enchanted me as a child. I used to imagine ballerinas and think of how they might dance to it. I had the dark stage and costumes all planned out in my head. Now that I'm older I've learned to play it, and it gives me a very comforted, nostalgic feeling.

rkgk1517 Ha! The definition of "classical" music: that which draws a positive emotional response from all people, of all generations, ages, and classes.
I had a similar reaction when I was a child. I thought the theme to the second movement was the most beautiful thing in the world. I obsessed over it for a long time, until I was able to play it.
Thanks dad for listening to this amazing music when I was a child. The day I meet you again in the afterlife will be the happiest ever and I hope we get to listen to this great music together again. Love you dad.
I love playing this amazing sonata on the piano, it's a pure delight to play, admittedly there are areas I can improve on, and this video gave me some very useful tips I can use to improve mu playing more, though iam not doing bad humbly speaking, considering I am mostly self taught, greetings from wales uk

If you listen carefully, you can hear that Chopin may have been inspired by part of the introduction of this piece reflected in his E minor Nocturne no. 4
:o) Öreg ember vagyok én már az 50 évemmel. Zenész-családból származom, gyerekkorom óta körbevesz a zene. Annyira nem voltam tehetséges, hogy zenélni tanuljak, de valami át kellett jöjjön a génekkel a szüleimtől, mert nagyon szeretem a zenét. :)
This is the best performance I have heard so far. That is close to how I want to play it. I have never heard of the person who plays it; I will have to look him up.
There is one piece of music that has consistently and constantly left me at the end with eyes-closed, tears of musical joy streaming down my cheeks, This is it. Thank you, a wonderful interpretation.
crystal clear notes, I especially like how the pianist played the codetta runs. Good tempo, not too much pedal, amazing dynamics. thanks for sharing =)
Well I doubt Beethoven gave this piece its nickname, and plus, pathétique doesn't mean pathetic, it means full of pathos or emotion. So if anything, the name is a big understatement ;)
TopRameen13 It really showcases what Beethoven was all about. While Mozart was churning out one symphony after another, Beethoven was editing, re-editing, sweating, and painstakingly writing out his Sonatas
This second movement feels like a light in the classical era. Where everyone follows the trend of music except for Beethoven. If You were to purchase this sonata in that time, it really is like a glowing score of music which cannot be compared. Not to say the classical music isn't very developed, I love haydn symphonies. This music has no description other than divine.
I love this piece, but the first movement is the most beautiful I think. I love how many emotions you can lay into this playing it... and the wrists don't even hurt that much with the right technique
@@CatLover69420 Mozart didnt teach Beethoven. And he even said "Watch out for that boy. One day he will give the world something to talk about." So nope, not the Mozart
Hayden? I know they quarreled. Perhaps Hayden had difficulty coping with Beethoven’s radical ideas and musical genius that were beyond even his scope of musical genius. I sympathize with Hayden. A rare student indeed!
There will always be only one Beethoven. His genius will never die, but live on throughout the ages to come. Exceptional music written be a monumental icon of composition who changed forever the way music was to be written. I understand anyone who labels Beethoven’s life as the Beethoven era as he bridged the classical with the romantic and ignited yet another musical revolution. His compositions will forever speak to the soul and reach the heart. Renowned Conductor, Leonard Bernstein, even boldly proclaimed Beethoven as ‘the greatest of composers’. Just listen to the Pathetique Sonata and you’ll appreciate why he would say such words.
If I was to algebraically compare Beethoven's music to today's music according to how theoretical, intriguing, and evocative the music is, the ratio would be undefined; you can't divide by zero.
You know what the world needs? A metal cover of this. Three guitars + bass + drum, in the oldschool Carcass style. Imagine the shreds, the riffs...it's gonna be fucking brilliant.
I love playing this song! Bethoven a a genius! Oh, and by the way, people can have their opinions in the comments, but your arguments still make me laugh. Just accept their music, don't critique that soandso is better than soandso. All these men are amazingly talented. When you become as genius as they are, or you can compose or play a song like they could, then say their music sucks. Otherwise... Just don't... Bye...
Love the passion and emotion in this piece along with its smooth fluid nature is how i feel when im playing at my best in football. Putting this on the Ipod now!
Oh how this song makes me SWAY with the beauty of it. |'-) :') It nearly makes me cry!!! I can make myself cry to it, though. It's just so moving!!! :'D I didn't even know it was this long!!! Amazing!!! Yay! Now I get to hear it while working! :)
I've been told that you're supposed to move your wrist rather than your fingers for much of the piece so your hands don't get tired. I, however, have yet to master the technique.
I started this song after playing Chopin's revolutionary etude, so my left hand was already in good shape. Also, I focus mostly on my right hand and my left hand relaxes naturally. Once you're comfortable with the notes, just try not to think about your left at all.
What Konstantin says is correct, by using the wrist, there is little tiring in the left hand. It's similar to what you'd use in the right hand of Schumann's second Novelette. Another thing would be to really focus on relaxing the shoulders, after which the entire arm tends to open up and allow more freedom.
ok, you are right, but there is the interpretation of Friedrich Goulda wich i love a little bit more then this one of the mister who played very well but not like Goulda who perfectly transmitted the stile of classic vienes. (oh,my enlish, i know, but you can understand i supose).
I hadn't heard about Ránki Dezső before, but I found this performance amazing :) Definitely one of the best renditions of Pathetique! This one along with Sviatoslav Richter's performance are now my favorite versions...
Today we see people like Justin beiber on MTV and everything is about sex, drugs, and money. I guess if Lizst was living today he would be in metal band probably lol. Jeff Loomis is one of the best guitarist of today, you might like his music maybe. Some metal bands sounds good, some don't. It depends on if the musicians are talented or not. There are probably composers out their that don't get any attention and some composers are working for video game companys and writing scores for films.
Me gusta... sobre todo el título, y también la partitura, la cual es preciosa. Ah! se me olvidaba, la interpretación; casi perfecta! ya sabes, la perfección dicen que no existe!!! Gracias
I like this performance very much! And I heard another Beethoven-piece played also by Dezső RÁNKI, the Mondscheinsonata which was- I think, the best interpretation by him - I have ever heard. It is pitty that it is not on You tube, I listened to that from a Hungarian Radio station, Radio Bartók.

I played the second movement at my grandmother's funeral many years back, and to this day, it'll still bring tears to my eyes. Such a beautiful piece.
The second movement really enchanted me as a child. I used to imagine ballerinas and think of how they might dance to it. I had the dark stage and costumes all planned out in my head. Now that I'm older I've learned to play it, and it gives me a very comforted, nostalgic feeling.

This is not simply a sonata... this is Beethoven's feelings...
Yes, I completely agree with you.
Thanks dad for listening to this amazing music when I was a child. The day I meet you again in the afterlife will be the happiest ever and I hope we get to listen to this great music together again. Love you dad.
there has been chopin , bach even mozart yet none can quite provide the same intense passion which beethoven provides ....the greatest ever!
:Dp
you forgot shubert
Soren Mikkelsen ah yes a 1000 pardons schubert was actually closest to what beethoven provided in terms of passion...
Soren Mikkelsen sounds like a frozen desert :p

8:17 If you listen closely during this silence with your volume up, you can hear someone playing a piano in the adjacent room... pretty cool!
It's the same bar he playes 2 seconds later...
MY GOD UR RIGHT!
It's just an audio corruption; there's no way there'd be someone else playing piano in the adjoining room while a recording was being taken.

What pathetique people thumbed this down?
Ahahaha I see what you did there
Linukcs
As a Bach fan, I'm going to have to disagree with your 3 year old comment.
Those pathetique PERSONS who are unable to understand that "PERSONS" is the plural of "PERSON"? ;)
Just pure genius. There is no discussion.

music too much 4 u
Having both the visual and the audio, brings Beethoven alive in my mind.
Thanks, always
Trust me even pianist such as myself need the visual with the music it comes in handy when learning new pieces.
crystal clear notes, I especially like how the pianist played the codetta runs. Good tempo, not too much pedal, amazing dynamics. thanks for sharing =)
1st movement is my favorite 💞
Totally agree, but the ending was good too :)
I’ve always loved the sonata and now I appreciate its wonders even more, following the score.Thank you very much.
Beethoven had a great humour sense, I think that calling this sonata "pathetique" is the biggest sarcasm in the History of music.
Well I doubt Beethoven gave this piece its nickname, and plus, pathétique doesn't mean pathetic, it means full of pathos or emotion. So if anything, the name is a big understatement ;)
TopRameen13 My version is wrong, but funnier too.;D

It really showcases what Beethoven was all about. While Mozart was churning out one symphony after another, Beethoven was editing, re-editing, sweating, and painstakingly writing out his Sonatas
Actually, he did call it the Pathetique himself.
Renji Mao That's actually a myth. His publisher called the piece Pathetique with Beethoven's approval. Beethoven himself did not name the piece.
Beethoven is always comforting and beautiful!
This second movement feels like a light in the classical era. Where everyone follows the trend of music except for Beethoven.

writing my school speech on "Appreciation of Music" while listening to this :)
amazing.
inspiring me to learn this! can't wait to get started.
I love this piece, but the first movement is the most beautiful I think. I love how many emotions you can lay into this playing it... and the wrists don't even hurt that much with the right technique
Exceptional performance!
and to think his music teacher said he had no hope as a composer
Mozart?

Pathetique Sonata Op.13 2nd Movement has always been by far my favorite piece to play on piano. I love that all of the moments are combined here!
Such a beautiful piece... Classical music just defies Modern music
Jól odatetted Dezsőkém!

This entire recording is magnificent, but I particularly find myself in awe of the third movement. So... pure and Beethovian.
Well said. If someone truly loves classical music, they should be excited any time someone new shows an interest in it.
As close to a definitive performance as you will ever get! Perfect and outstanding.
I love 08:50 2nd movement - Adagio Cantabile
Yay! It's back! It was private forever and that bugged me so much, now i can finally listen to it again!
The first movement is passionate, the second beautiful & relaxing, and the finale exciting!
Thank you for posting all this great music in such a clean format. It is most appreciated.
John
I love it all... but 8:50 brought back good old nostalgia - w -,
intoxicating...never gets old.
Beethoven puto amo, llevo 2 años de superior cateando por esta obra.
What a wonderful piece pf piano music - my mother used to play it! Very beautifully played by Ránki Dezső!
The second movement is play extraordinarily divine! Such beautiful tone :)
I HATE it when there's so mch arguing on such a nice video like this. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.
Interpretação maravilhosa. Toca de forma intensa, apaixonada. Assim era Beethoven.
The first movement makes me jump from a dead sleep - Second movement puts me back sleep - soooo smooooth!
one of the best sonata of beethoven
If I was to algebraically compare Beethoven's music to today's music according to how theoretical, intriguing, and evocative the music is, the ratio would be undefined; you can't divide by zero.

Alexander Nevala He is crazy !
You are right, it would be awesome
Helmstif, the Sarcastic Asianman There already is an electric guitar version of moonlight sonata 3rd mvt.
there is one BTW
I love playing this song! Bethoven a a genius!
Oh, and by the way, people can have their opinions in the comments, but your arguments still make me laugh. Just accept their music, don't critique that soandso is better than soandso.

Bye...
You no i found soandso to be almost the same as so an sdo
That ending is just unreal. It just ended.
i love the rhythm and the time signatures
Love the passion and emotion in this piece along with its smooth fluid nature is how i feel when im playing at my best in football. Putting this on the Ipod now!
Oh how this song makes me SWAY with the beauty of it. |'-) :')
It nearly makes me cry!!! I can make myself cry to it, though. It's just so moving!!! :'D
I didn't even know it was this long!!! Amazing!!! Yay! Now I get to hear it while working! :)
GRAND FINALE! Bravissimoo!
2nd mvt is ALWAYS my favorite. It has so much feelings
How does the guy play without utterly burning out the left hand by the development????
I've been told that you're supposed to move your wrist rather than your fingers for much of the piece so your hands don't get tired. I, however, have yet to master the technique.
All I was told was to "relax" my hand. I have no idea how to do that long enough to play the passages in this piece.
I started this song after playing Chopin's revolutionary etude, so my left hand was already in good shape. Also, I focus mostly on my right hand and my left hand relaxes naturally. Once you're comfortable with the notes, just try not to think about your left at all.

hmmm... I'd better get practicing then!
Always new inspiration after this 8th sonata
kb. 3 órája hallgatom, újra és újra! Nagyon szépen köszönöm! Furcsa, hogy egy magyar hozzászólás sincs...
i also love the dynamics
I've always played the piano and didn't like it very much, but I actually felt pleasure once I started with this one :D
Keep calm and listen to Beethoven...magnifique
BEST version I've ever heard. And that means alot. Because I am the classical master!!
this is my first time listening to this sonata properly, and i recognise so many tunes in it from movies and other soundtracks.
I agree....the best I ever heared...I love the Pathetique since I can think...but this interpretation has no comparison!......it calls forth my tears
ok, you are right, but there is the interpretation of Friedrich Goulda wich i love a little bit more then this one of the mister who played very well but not like Goulda who perfectly transmitted the stile of classic vienes. (oh,my enlish, i know, but you can understand i supose).
La sonata n° 8 composta più di duecento anni fa è tuttora attuale, moderna, indispensabile nel repertorio di chi voglia fare musica.
Pathos. The sorrowing and anger for Suffering.
Beethoven captures it.
This is my favourite sonata.
The first movement is my favourite first movement.
The second as well.
The third as well.
This is a wonderful performance!!
A work of a Genius.
Beautiful , thanks for sharing
in this sonata, beethoven is already deaf thats why it sounds like this
I love the first eight minutes altought all this piano performance is just great, big composer, beautiful music
I hadn't heard about Ránki Dezső before, but I found this performance amazing :) Definitely one of the best renditions of Pathetique! This one along with Sviatoslav Richter's performance are now my favorite versions...
Epic!! One of the best music I've ever heard! Thanks a lot for uploading such amazing music.
My reaction when I listened to this sonata, "It will be just a piece of cake!", Now, "WTF is this?!". XD
I can play this...
Gyönyörű! Köszönet a feltöltésért! :)
That sonata is bloody prophetic.
Best vibe ever
Cómo se puede creer tanta bellezA .La.Patetica de beethoven Genial!!!!
This piece along with Moonlight Sonata is played by Anthony Perkins on the piano when he reprised his role for Norman Bates in Psycho II in 1983
Bravo, braaaavooooooo.
i had so much fun today sight reading this! amazing piece of music!
I've always wondered why his music is so timeless and why no pianists today can get near the epic originality Beethoven, Lizst and Mozart produced.
Today we see people like Justin beiber on MTV and everything is about sex, drugs, and money. I guess if Lizst was living today he would be in metal band probably lol. Jeff Loomis is one of the best guitarist of today, you might like his music maybe. Some metal bands sounds good, some don't. It depends on if the musicians are talented or not. There are probably composers out their that don't get any attention and some composers are working for video game companys and writing scores for films.
Beethoven and Wagner were the best classical composers.

efectivamente, una interpretación contundente y a la vez sensible !!!

this is the best version of Beethoven's pathetique sonata I can find on youtube!
Beethoven when he wrote this: look mum, I can draw 128th notes
Even though I don't know anything about music, this drew me in completely and I ended up in tears
God I do remember how to read music. What a great idea uploading these this way. Awesome, thank you.
The 2nd movement is my favourite. Love the 1st movement too!
stunning!
