    Yet another pithy video. These ideas make so much sense to me. This piece and the "presto agitato" in particular was responsible for me falling in love with classical piano when I was 15 many decades ago. I just had to play it and eventually did. Not much artistry but....I found myself nodding my head up and down in agreement with each point. It all made so much sense and you present it in such a clear way. Many, many thanks Lisa. You are very special. I have much to work on! :)

    Thank you Dr. Yui for providing to us this excellent presentation on Beethoven’s sonata Opus 27, No. 2. You have opened me to several insights to this work, especially the first movement, that only a knowledgeable professional could provide. I will definitely incorporate several of your suggestions, especially your approach for the first movement to letting the melody establish the feel for the harmony and tempo, and from there fill in the triplets.
    Also, to complement to your discussion for pedaling for the first movement, while you played I took notice of your right leg to see when it depressed the pedal at various parts of the movement. I now have a much better understanding of your pedaling technique.
    How is wish I was 50 years younger and to be one of your students. Thank you again and best wishes.

    The LH over on the 7th measure - nice touch. Thanks. I always have a problem with that finger stretch too. Never occurred to me to figure something else out. Measures 56-59 - I really like to put an emotional lament surge on those measures - an emotional surge just before the remaining "echo" bass measures. Also - (for me) the piece does play better when one plays it quietly - as Beethoven notates throughout pp.
    The third movement is Mission Impossible - need Tom Cruise. Maybe someday ...

    26.00 Pedal ( Beginning Rondo Waldstein ) . Beethoven used a different instrument with much weaker pedal function.

    The third movement is not as hard as it seems.On the contrary the first movement is the hardest !

    • @LivesOfThePiano
      @LivesOfThePiano  2 года назад +2

      I find the two movements difficult in different ways: achieving sound control and unity in the first; getting the necessary speed and evenness in the third, but the 3rd mvt does almost play itself!

    1:13:15 is incorrect. The thumb always plays with a forward stress and in this case doesn't need the lateral motion produced by an undershape. The most economical shaping is a series of five-note overshapes with changes of direction, as noted by Master Taubman Teacher Robert Durso in his lesson on the tonebase piano platform. The Taubman school of thought is where the concept of shaping first came from.
