I never cease to be amazed at how utterly charming Beethoven's music can be, despite the seriousness of his more well known works, even after decades of listening and enjoying. Thanks András Schiff for your ever masterful renditions. Makes me want to try playing it again.
Every piano sonata written by ludwig...is, was, will always be ....a gift from god... I love this sonata so much and so appreciate people who dedicate their lives to play these sonatas
A wonderful performance of the one of the most beautiful of the sonatas. Especially heartbreaking is that passionate noble unrestrainable ferocious conclusion which emerges from an ostensible leisureliness, from what appears to b a lazy ambling. Many thanks. Most grateful.
What a perfect room in which to record a piano. And what a perfect pianist to play the New Testament. I hope they took advantage to highlight his repertoire.
Underrated sonata in my opinion. Deserves to be as famous as the one right before it. Also want to point out that I like Schiff’s tempo for Mvt II. It is Andante, not Larghississississimo.
Ooo good for you all 😂 pls stand in your circle of excellence lest u veer off and bump into a nobody, because you know, you can't see straight ahead with your noses pointed on high 🎉 congrats on your sense of rarified air
The development section at 5:12 is just incredible and at 5:30 to 5:45 I found it hard to control myself and not explode to the max while playing lol. Truly epic music!!
Absolutely amazing, that entire section ending at 6:12. So many "Beethovenian moments". I think his used this as a kind of laboratory, experimentation for his symphonies and perhaps even some of his late sonatas.
i always love Schiff's interpretations, even if i like someone else's even more...Schiff has some kind of special touch/ear...i just listened to Lupu's version, and i love them both...
Schiff's brings out voices I don't hear other pianists highlight, giving new life to this divine music. For example, the very last two chords in the video: most pianists play the highest line as the melody, G F#. While a very unusual and unique way to end a sonata, it still lacks the power of the full authentic cadence we expect. Schiff emphasizes the C# moving up to D, giving us the very ending we want. The G and F# sound almost like overtones. He has separated the strings from flutes just using very precise voice control!!!
I forget why I clicked on this, something to do the technical playing to bottom lf they keys...saw this, and listened for a couple of minutes. And I teared up hard, not sure why, but this grabbed deep inside me just now. Sitting here crying. I'm embarrassed. I do play piano with a good teacher, and a music major, but this got me. BTW 1:44 minutes in and didn't realized that I was too deep now to stop.
I'm so relieved to hear that others can't play this pp too😅or don't want to! Because this piece is full of pp sections... and you just can't follow this instrucion, because the music makes you so euphoric!🤗
Besides the usual crisp. clean performance by M. Schiff, I am astounded by the excellent sound quality (what are those things beneath the piano? Are those a special speaker system?) and the entire visual presentation. Does anyone know more about this recording? Anyhow...thanks SW.
I/ 0:04 Allegro

Wow, what a venue!! What a blessing to hear a great pianist play Beethoven in this library.
It is the ana amalia library in weimar germany
The central portrait is the grand duke / son of a a / on the sides portraits of goethe, schiller, wieland and others, bust of schiller /
Charmingly sweet and gentle!!! So Very Good and Beautiful!!! ❤😂🎉
András Schiff is one of the greatest gift
to humanity.
Indeed.
Gloria a Dios!
I'd go as far to say we don't deserve him
What could be nicer in life. This beautiful music in a setting like that...The world needs more of this..

Awesome. One of my favorite sonatas, played with absolute class.

Once again, Schiff is here with beautiful tempi and nice touch. I always enjoy his Beethoven :-)
His Bach and Schubert are even better!
:)
I am in love with Beethoven, especially this sonata. Now I have heard my favorite interpretation! Fantastic! Beautifully filmed and perfect recording!
Beethoven ci conduce nella sua giovinezza, viaggio nella nostalgia sua e nostra e nella memoria dove c'è il patrimonio delle emozioni!
I love every beethoven from 1 to 32
I noticed that Beethoven’s furrowed brow was eased and an enigmatic smile appeared!❤
What a perfect room in which to record a piano.
And what a perfect pianist to play the New Testament. I hope they took advantage to highlight his repertoire.

@@MR-jd1wq agreed.
@@MR-jd1wq he means by general public. If you search in RUclips no14 it will have millions of views
@@MR-jd1wq I met people who have been playing the piano for years or even decades and didn't know this sonata.
In my opinion the second Movement is a bit to fast
Ooo good for you all 😂 pls stand in your circle of excellence lest u veer off and bump into a nobody, because you know, you can't see straight ahead with your noses pointed on high 🎉 congrats on your sense of rarified air
What a beautiful sight and sound; it’s perfect union

oooo so you play this! wow
That development section reminds me of Star Wars
Absolutely amazing, that entire section ending at 6:12. So many "Beethovenian moments". I think his used this as a kind of laboratory, experimentation for his symphonies and perhaps even some of his late sonatas.
Fantastisches Ambiente mit kongenialen Klängen meisterhaft in Klänge gesetzt !! Großartige Idee ! Ein Genuss.
Thank you for these uploadings!
I love Beethoven's voicings!!!!!!
Beautifull interpretation by an great pianist of a wonderful sonata by a marvelous composer in a very elegant library.i love it ❤❤❤
6:54 あたたかい演奏で癒される！
Une des meilleurs interprétations : c’est propre, net, précis, avec un bon tempo; une réincarnation de Beethoven !
Such a wondrous Severely Underated Piano Sonata!!! 😮
I love this video!
i always love Schiff's interpretations, even if i like someone else's even more...Schiff has some kind of special touch/ear...i just listened to Lupu's version, and i love them both...
Maravilloso Musico Genio ,muchas gracias Gran Artista !!!!
シフの力みのない自然体のベートーヴェン演奏も大好きです。クリアなサウンドで現代的でモダンな雰囲気。全曲聴きたくなりました。
This Sonata does so much for my mind and calmness. Thanks.

Great observation and elaboration. Totally agree!!
As most of us well know, all of Beethoven's sonatas, from Op.2. No.1 to Op. 111 are masterpieces.
They really aren't.
@@Ziad3195yours is rather opinionated
@@JerryEboy69 of course
@@Ziad3195 Say, do you have a particular favorite of these?
@@JerryEboy69 no, I dislike Beethoven and most romantic piano music.

すんばらしい。この曲がこんなにいい曲なんて知りませんでした。
Grazie!!!!!
Piano-playing of Classical-music at a library isn't something you see every day
That isn't the kind of library you see every day.
Excellently played !
❤Thank you very much

💐👏
Bros performance face is priceless
😂
how does one even remember all the notes without using a music sheet that will always baffle me
Hermosicimo
Where was he playing?
14:21
what happened at 1:16? 2 bars completely missing.
slight memory lapse perhaps?
even the greatests makes mistakes. at the repetition he does the missing bar
-art-
Yep, he missed a couple of bars. Not a biggie though, this is a superb interpretation anyways.
Could be the manuscript variant with small variation form on the capo

Прекрасная интерпретация.
it has a thorny presto at the end. 😢
Shame about that audio quality.
What did you expect for the environment lol
@@fridericusrex9812 It's not the acoustics that bother me, but the compression artifacts.
Silly lights around the piano detracting from the elegant surroundings. I thought at libraries you needed to be quiet?
Beethoven can be anywhere dude, and no one can do anything about it.
Probably not while they’re being used for filming, let a alone filming a musical performance. Talk about pedantic.
Nice performance although first movement was a bit gigue-y
Steht Beethoven bei den woken Postfeministischen cancel culture Protagonisten-innen eigentlich schon auf dem Index?
Apparently. Nothing is sacred.
Statue, statue, statues! Disgusting to me.
He played it to soft
Too
This is Beethoven refusing to let go of any idea, even if it is a mediocre one.
This is just a pastoral expression, the thankfulness of the miracle of nature.
Beethoven and Bach are objectively the greatest composers of all time. Deal with it.
