This. I've practiced this a little and, while I have yet to reach her speed, I've actually managed to play it really fast. It just sounds dirty and bad^^;
@@lopezfamily2089 of course it has a lot to do with learning and practice but still, I think one needs to be born with a talent that makes them drawn to whatever instrument they choose for them to master it to this level, just like how singers are born with their unique voices
as a percussionist, I truly admire the separation between notes, incredibly even. you can hear the gap written between each note and she is doing it at such speed, the years and years of discipline required to achieve this level of perfection is truly noteworthy!
I don't think Valentina will ever know how much I look up to her performance of this. I've watched these three movements of her playing for almost 10 years. I have learned the first two movements because of her. No one else plays Beethoven with this beautiful passion.
Thomas Headley thanks that is true. It can be difficult I guess every one is different. Never thought music could lead to destruction as the first two movements of this piece singlehandedly kept me alive in some of my most darkest days. This music speaks to my core and every week if it was ALL I could do, I just learnt one bar. One by one. And then I could play it. It was my only source of happiness and beauty for a long time so I can’t really understand that frame of mind.
After 6 month of very hard practice I've stopped playing 3d Movement because I heard this perfect version and realize that my piano skills are ridiculous 🙈🤣🤣🤣
This tempo so clearly brings out the hidden phrasing Beethoven so intentionally placed into every arpeggio and harmonic transition. She plays with such intentionality that it almost brings out new phrases and lines I don't hear in other interpretations.
So nice to see a top concert artist and professional with a good amount of attention on RUclips, so many of these hardworking masters of their art are overlooked or ignored.
Mark Fowler Well in an age where people worship "artists" who just fake talent with autotune, backing tracks, ghost writers, etc these masters get overlooked.
She plays it much faster yet cleaner than anyone I ever heard The notes so clear, the volume so dynamic, the movement of her hands absolutely effortless and the emotion in this performance is just over the top I think that’s how Beethoven himself would have played it Absolut mad lady
+Ella Finstad I've learning piano for over ten years and I have never been able to play this movement like Lisitsa did in this video, not that I've been practising this movement for long, but still playing this like she did really requires a skilled pianist.
When you master a piece and get into this kind of zone, you feel everything through you. If there's some kind of magic in this world, it's certainly music
+Erik Watch Paul Barton, he is the most relaxed pianist I have ever seen, his playing looks pretty much effortless, and it's also very, very good. Personally, I like the energy of Lisistza's playing, but Barton just makes it look so casual/easy.
@@Thvll Interesting piece you mention, the Chopin etude, it's actually the first video of Lisistza's that I ever watched some years ago which started my interest in her. It was stunning to me for many reasons, not the least of which is because I had never actually heard the piece before, but since having listened to many, many others play it, I can say it is one of the very best I have ever heard, probably just behind Pollini's performance.
I had the honor to tell her that she is my favorite pianist when she came to my city, she said THANK YOU with a smiley face, after performing a 4 hours concert, she still had the energy and the motivation to sign autographs to the fans, and I will keep that photo in which I appear with her like a great treasure :)
Sofía :D has it never occurred to you that bragging about an autograph from a cool pianist may make others feel jealous...specifically, me??!! You know, not everyone gets a chance to take a picture with Valentina Lisitsa.
@@natemckay9903 I'm not talking about the tempo I'm talking about the slurs in-between the notes she gives no space in between notes listen to Wilhelm kempff recording and you'll see what I mean she also bangs everynote
I’m more impressed by her Waldstein though (both because it’s harder and because I don’t like her Moonlight compared to other pianists whereas her Waldstein is brilliant).
I sincerly think that, the way she play it, is the way that Beethoven wanted it to sounds. Pure and real musicality, no bullshit.... a mix of exquisit finess and fist pounding. Valentina....You're the real deal
NavaIMTutorial not yet deaf, this is his op. number 27, he was only totally deaf from his op. ~109, but yeah, he was partially deaf for a very long time
Her fingers look like they're literally dancing on those keys. Beautiful performance. Please keep doing what you're doing Valentina. Your talent is legendary.
She has a lot of muscle all the way up her arms her tendons and ligaments are very powerful. Her hands and fingers are machines. She plays incredibly well. Though not perfect (says my musician friend who can't play any of it), this is quite easily one of my favourite performances of all time.
She has great technique for sure but try listening to Barenboim playing it with the 'piano' dynamic Beethoven actually asked for in most of the piece. His interpretation actually allows the last to grow out of the other two movements and the restraint creates even more tension than this outburst of passion from Valentina.
@@mariedagoult1 non, je ne parle pas français, désolé. je me suis nommé “jeunehomme” après le Concerto pour piano n°9 de Mozart, connu sous le nom de Jeunehomme Concerto. (j'utilise google translate, désolé pour l'explication cassée) 😀🦟🦗🦟🦗
There are those who perform this piece, and then there are those who allow this piece to perform them. Valentina, thank you for allowing a raging night long ago to rise again, to offer us a peek at the moon dashing between silver clouds, to feel the chill blasts of wind push us-against our will-to constantly look up, keeping a tearing eye on a moon that would surrender neither its light nor its plight-ever.
@@ruaraidh74, apparently, to you it was just a performance. May I suggest you research not only the Moonlight Sonata but also Beethoven's life. May I also offer that behind any time-tested work of art there is a story. If you can appreciate that story, you can finally "experience" the art at a much deeper level. Stay well, v.
She's a gem. Beethoven would be so proud to hear someone such as Valentina play his music that weel after he's been gone foor what 200 years almost? Ludwig would be PROUD. Her hands have a mind all there own.
24 hours ago I had never heard of this song or this pianist, but now I’m amazed and wondering how this is even humanly possible. Watching this makes me want to become better at my hobbies and job.
Day 1 of simply piano: Marry Had a Little Lamb Day 2 of simply piano: Perfect by Ed Sheeran Day 3 of simply piano: Fur Elise Day 4 of simply piano: 0:00
So crisp, so precise, so soft, energetic. I'm amazed that hands and fingers can move like this. I've read that she practices 12 hours a day - or did at one time. I played piano in my youth, but never, ever could I aspire to this level of perfection. The first two movements of this piece are equally divinely played by her. Thank you for this, and thank you, Valentina, for sharing your exquisite and astonishing talent with us.
Thanks, I was trying to perfect speed and accuracy at the same time for the first part, but learning the whole song accurately and slowly proves to be much more helpful. You’re a life saver
everyone knows that if you can play it slow, then you can play it fast. but for real, this is good advice. I used to try to play everything at tempo or higher, and absolutely sucked, and now I get much more feeling out of songs. Technique is important but emotion is as well.
*me wearing headphones* "What are you listening to?" "Beethoven" "Nice. Could you send it to me? I need some new classical music to help me sleep" "Uh, sure. Sweet dreams.."
Now this is how you play a piece that is written presto agitato! I know we have no proof of it, but I wholeheartedly believe this is how Beethoven intended it to be, and how I always heard it looking at the sheet music and knowing the loose story behind it. Manic and all over the place, with anger, resentment, and heartache, but all of it pointed and concise. It is loud and fast, but precise, and you can feel the tension between the pianist and the keyboard, you don’t know who is playing who. Bravo!
For me it's way too fast. Slightly slower allows the listener to actually hear the notes being played. The version by Rousseau that you'll find on you tube is much more pleasing to my ears.
Lisitsa always finds a level of intensity that few, if any, match. She loves her composers and they love her. Always thrilling to see this consistently inspired performer.
@@blackdiamond4859 You can think that. You can believe that. You don't know that. No one on this planet understands the Universe, and this is becoming more obvious by the day.
Don’t refer Valentina as ‘This Person.’ She deserves to be called her name into achieving such greatness. I’ll get my smartass back into minecraft lmAo
Zalera In my opinion, referring to her as “Valentina” would be considered more disrespectful than “this person” because you are saying her name from a stance where you are either friends with her or at such a musical talent that she matches your skill as a colleague or peer. Using her last name, “Lisitsa,” would be more appropriate because it gives her a professional stance when being mentioned in third person. There is a reason why most essays require people to speak about authors using their surnames instead of their first names, and this is that exact reason.
This is perfection. So many other renditions go for speed, but lack the clarity of hearing each individual note. Every truly masterful rendition of this that I've heard is always pretty fast, but what sets them apart is the fact that you can hear every last keystroke among the chaos of the speed.
This video is literally the only reason I don't give up on music sometimes, it's so inspiring to see such a different side of music. Valentina adds a part of music that is often missed when speed and difficulty is added, emotion and purpose. Thank you, I love your videos.
She is incredible. I saw her twice in concert and she even took the time to hug me and talk to me. If you think she “can play” watching those videos, watch her in a concert. She is mesmerizing. Probably the best female pianist of the century.
Conny V Exactly right - absolutely top tier - matched only by a handful of people on the planet, and that’s debatable on issues of personal taste alone. She’s bona fide incredible.
incredible that I discovered her only today. Well, let us not forget Brigitte Engerer and Martha Argerich.. And check out Yuja Wang also, wonderful talent.
Этот шедевр надо смотреть на скорости 0.75х чтобы успевать за мелодией и работой пальцев..)) Блестяще! Чудесно! Жаль что нельзя поставить тысячу лайков.
Jeffrey Swiderski Valentina has such an incredible grasp to the piano she makes it look so effortless and this is no easy song 😂 love it when she does the Chopin pieces tho
Until this date the most impressive performance I have ever heard. Simply perfection. From start to finish. To think most people can't even comprehend it. Such a loss for them.
Her volume control creates such a musical journey - I can’t imagine how much hard work she invested to hone her skills to this degree - Brava you are incredible
Comecei a tocar piano (teclado) a 5 meses, muito antes de me interessar em tocar esse incrível instrumento, eu pensava comigo mesmo "a pessoa aprende a tocar com essa perfeição se ela praticar muito por 1 ano, é fácil", mal sabia eu que essa seria a maior controversa da minha vida, praticando e aprendendo, eu percebo que tocar desse jeito será impossível pra mim mesmo que passe 5/10 anos, é esplêndido a forma como essa pianista toca essa música, nao só ela como TODOS os pianistas possíveis que tocam essa música e entre outras com essa perfeição e velocidade, meu objetivo é um dia chegar nesse nivel, mas agora eu percebo que se a dedicação não vier da minha vontade, essa maestria em tocar piano será complementamente e surpreendentemente IMPOSSÍVEL.
This is just amazing It's not about the speed It's about the clarity of each note I think that this is the way Beethoven played it By far the best version in RUclips
As a composer, Beethoven couldn't play piano that well (just few composers like Liszt could actually play piano professionally), but yes, surely he would have liked that performance
WONDERFULLY , BEAUTIFULLY , FABULOUSLY , VIBRANTLY , FIERCELY , FLAWLESSLY , PASSIONATELY , ANGELICALLY , and SENSATIONALLY played and felt . Tyvm VALENTINA LISITSA for sharing your MIRACULOUS and BLESSED pianist talent with us ALL and with the WORLD !!! May god bless you and yours ! JESUS PEACE 💛♥️‼️
Few things can travel faster than light: 1. Objects traveling through worm holes 2. Two singularities sharing information 3. Valentina playing La Campanella and Moonlight Sonata, Presto Agitato.
thats is probabliy the last black-hole,which no one know were is it exactly---and b.h.-----have a speed about 300.000 km/s....but she 'is on the good road to reach them all!!!!!!!!!!
Objects traveling through worm holes aren't faster than light, they just take shorter routes through the Spacetime fabric... They simply take shortcuts.
And regarding the second statement, I think you meant the "Quantum Entanglement" phenomena... Which is explained clearly that the measurements of the states of the two objects correlate perfectly and instantaneously but there is NO information passing between them, and the only way to see the correlation is by introducing both the measurements back together and that is something you have to do in a speed that is at or below the speed of light only... Because the speed of light is the ultimate speed in the universe. There is no exploit here..
Is there anything compared to live music ? Here in Nantes, we have La Folle Journée. Hundreds of classical pieces in a matter of a big w/e. I now watch the smiles on the artists' faces. When they do, you can bet it's a good time.
I've been playing the piano for 40 years and honestly it seems like the best sentimental interpretation I've ever heard. It is not just the physical "performance", here we are talking about human feeling. Thanks Valentina

There are those who perform this piece, and then there are those who allow this piece to perform them. Valentina, thank you for allowing a raging night long ago to rise again, to offer us a peek at the moon dashing between silver clouds, to feel the chill blasts of wind push us-against our will-to constantly look up, keeping a tearing eye on a moon that would surrender neither its light nor its plight-ever.
virtuosity and poetry in one !!!

Oh great another mahatma gandhi comment trying to inspire
your comment is brilliant. I concur AF
@@ruaraidh74, apparently, to you it was just a performance. May I suggest you research not only the Moonlight Sonata but also Beethoven's life.

She's a gem. Beethoven would be so proud to hear someone such as Valentina play his music that weel after he's been gone foor what 200 years almost? Ludwig would be PROUD. Her hands have a mind all there own.
the fact that he was deaf surprises me in a way
@@annamoraes1768 yes.... he would be proud to *hear* her.
Goddamn she propably spend more time learning and practising Piano than me breathing in and out.
I bet Beethoven watching from heaven is very proud of her….

24 hours ago I had never heard of this song or this pianist, but now I’m amazed and wondering how this is even humanly possible. Watching this makes me want to become better at my hobbies and job.
Niko lmao he is not, he WAS deaf in the end of his life. He wasn’t, at least severely, when he composed this
@@pic4315 Rlly?, i thought he was deaf when he was young. Sorry i dont know.
i know right... it is really inspiring

I started piano a year ago and it's killing me to be so basic! But I play every single day even if it's a small amount.
I tried to perfect this for years and while I believe I came close, I was never anywhere as fantastic as this. What an outstanding performance.
Day 1 of simply piano: Marry Had a Little Lamb
Day 2 of simply piano: Perfect by Ed Sheeran
Day 3 of simply piano: Fur Elise

Might need a few days more...
She has the only interpretation where it sounds like the piano is screaming in the beginning section.
Such a bone-chilling level of talent.
Yes! Check out Glenn Gould’s version of this movement as well. He plays it similarly. Their versions are my two favorite interpretations so far.
You need to hear ARTUR RUBINSTEIN perform this piece......
There’s a difference between skill and talent
that is how Beethoven intended it to be played and thats how it sounded when he created it!!
@@_otroll5393 Exactly, why do people see talent but not months and years of hardwork.
how to play the 3rd movement:
1. find a big fish
2. take it out of the water
3. *put it on the piano*
Hahahahahahaha
Say whaat?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Octopus works great.
PLEASE JUST IMAGINE THE SCENE
音がパラパラしててすごい…！！
ピアノやってないけどめっちゃ美しくてかっこいいのはわかる！！！
So crisp, so precise, so soft, energetic. I'm amazed that hands and fingers can move like this. I've read that she practices 12 hours a day - or did at one time. I played piano in my youth, but never, ever could I aspire to this level of perfection. The first two movements of this piece are equally divinely played by her. Thank you for this, and thank you, Valentina, for sharing your exquisite and astonishing talent with us.
You should really try. For me it took ~6-7 years (also first like comment:) )
@@Hi-re9fq Congratulations on your tenacity. I would, but at 86 I'm not certain I have that much time left!! :D (Tks for liking, tho')

Thousands of hours of practicing. Kids, don’t focus on speed when you practice; focus on precision, and someday you will get here.
Meh I started learning the ocean etude and tbh your right
Thanks, I was trying to perfect speed and accuracy at the same time for the first part, but learning the whole song accurately and slowly proves to be much more helpful. You’re a life saver
You right but some people can t be patient at this situation
everyone knows that if you can play it slow, then you can play it fast.
but for real, this is good advice. I used to try to play everything at tempo or higher, and absolutely sucked, and now I get much more feeling out of songs. Technique is important but emotion is as well.
What if you already there? lmao. Don’t take it the wrong way. It’s just a joke.
If this 3rd movement doesn’t give you goosebumps, then you are crazy. She’s brilliant. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Потрясающее исполнение. Виртуозная техника на просто фантастическом уровне и безмерная эмоциональная экспрессия.

@@hoxhafpv7365 me too lol

Now this is how you play a piece that is written presto agitato! I know we have no proof of it, but I wholeheartedly believe this is how Beethoven intended it to be, and how I always heard it looking at the sheet music and knowing the loose story behind it. Manic and all over the place, with anger, resentment, and heartache, but all of it pointed and concise. It is loud and fast, but precise, and you can feel the tension between the pianist and the keyboard, you don’t know who is playing who. Bravo!
Well described
i adore how you described this
For me it's way too fast. Slightly slower allows the listener to actually hear the notes being played.
The version by Rousseau that you'll find on you tube is much more pleasing to my ears.
@@Em-Bee imo it has to be that fast in contrast to the 1st movement, but its just my taste :)
I so want to plunge head-first into the bosom of your comment bruh.
Lisitsa always finds a level of intensity that few, if any, match. She loves her composers and they love her. Always thrilling to see this consistently inspired performer.
Indeed: I have never witnessed such masterful dance of immaculate technique and soul-stirring passion. Subscribed of course.
@@blackdiamond4859 You can think that. You can believe that. You don't know that. No one on this planet understands the Universe, and this is becoming more obvious by the day.
Phenomenal performance! Inside the soul of every musician lies the beating heart of a metal head. Just beautiful.
After the performance, the piano smoked a cigarette.....
Probably cried..
haha deserves way more likes.
So do I 😂
... so did I (virtually ...) :')))
Funny, but most likely.
This deserves more views than Despacito

Don’t refer Valentina as ‘This Person.’ She deserves to be called her name into achieving such greatness. I’ll get my smartass back into minecraft lmAo
Zalera In my opinion, referring to her as “Valentina” would be considered more disrespectful than “this person” because you are saying her name from a stance where you are either friends with her or at such a musical talent that she matches your skill as a colleague or peer. Using her last name, “Lisitsa,” would be more appropriate because it gives her a professional stance when being mentioned in third person. There is a reason why most essays require people to speak about authors using their surnames instead of their first names, and this is that exact reason.
@@MrJustin1232000 Wow..you must be a blast @ parties
Самое лучшее исполнение ❤всегда включаю вас,чтобы послушать настоящее ,чувственное, правильное исполнение ❤
This is perfection. So many other renditions go for speed, but lack the clarity of hearing each individual note. Every truly masterful rendition of this that I've heard is always pretty fast, but what sets them apart is the fact that you can hear every last keystroke among the chaos of the speed.
this comment is underrated
listen to Rousseau's performance of this
AtomicMuffin yep.. thats why i prefer lisitsa than lang lang. sure he can play fast, but feels like something missing.
100% recommendeddddd
While this is true I still don't like the speed in itself. But out of the "fast" Interpretations, this might be one of the best
This video is literally the only reason I don't give up on music sometimes, it's so inspiring to see such a different side of music. Valentina adds a part of music that is often missed when speed and difficulty is added, emotion and purpose. Thank you, I love your videos.
100% agree 👍
Oo
@@chopholtz4950 holy god
It really is the kind of thing that makes life worth living.
She is incredible. I saw her twice in concert and she even took the time to hug me and talk to me. If you think she “can play” watching those videos, watch her in a concert. She is mesmerizing. Probably the best female pianist of the century.
Think I would cry if I touch her hands
Conny V Exactly right - absolutely top tier - matched only by a handful of people on the planet, and that’s debatable on issues of personal taste alone. She’s bona fide incredible.

What if you buy her to play this in your house
@@Betterdangaming No need, she performs for free, quite graciously for all of us fans of hers who listen quite thankfully.
Yet her piano is worth a small FORTUNE. 🎹
*For everything else there's MasterCard*
I love this piece. It's basically 6 minutes of "I AM BEETHOVEN!"
Yes, exactly -- Beethoven is channeled through her! Quite extraordinary
Maybe she is reincarnation of Beethoven 😰
I am groot
Maybe She got posessed by Beethoven's spirit
You know, Beethoven was actually so angry that people praise this piece so much so that he complained to Czerny
Someone explain why 7k people can’t appreciate how incredible this is
Nathan Howe I know! Unreal
Jeffrey Swiderski Valentina has such an incredible grasp to the piano she makes it look so effortless and this is no easy song 😂 love it when she does the Chopin pieces tho
Nathan Howe make that 8k :/

@@VeyselSeyhun I took your suggestion and listened to his. I really like it, however I think the best interpretation goes to her.
@@bluehats9467 Rousseau is a good pianist, but nowhere near Valentina, or even Kassia.
lol
She's just a very good musical populist.
Comecei a tocar piano (teclado) a 5 meses, muito antes de me interessar em tocar esse incrível instrumento, eu pensava comigo mesmo "a pessoa aprende a tocar com essa perfeição se ela praticar muito por 1 ano, é fácil", mal sabia eu que essa seria a maior controversa da minha vida, praticando e aprendendo, eu percebo que tocar desse jeito será impossível pra mim mesmo que passe 5/10 anos, é esplêndido a forma como essa pianista toca essa música, nao só ela como TODOS os pianistas possíveis que tocam essa música e entre outras com essa perfeição e velocidade, meu objetivo é um dia chegar nesse nivel, mas agora eu percebo que se a dedicação não vier da minha vontade, essa maestria em tocar piano será complementamente e surpreendentemente IMPOSSÍVEL.
I hope that piano is 18 years old.
Lol 😭💀
Took me 2 minutes and 42 seconds to get the joke lol.
Is it cuz it's getting stepped on?
😂😂😂😂
@@willsober7161 The fingering :D
This is just amazing
It's not about the speed
It's about the clarity of each note
I think that this is the way Beethoven played it
By far the best version in RUclips
As a composer, Beethoven couldn't play piano that well (just few composers like Liszt could actually play piano professionally), but yes, surely he would have liked that performance
This is probably my favourite rendition, there is no mercy in its intensity
This. The moonlight 3rd starts intense and builds from there. Legit anxiety inducing.
WONDERFULLY , BEAUTIFULLY , FABULOUSLY , VIBRANTLY , FIERCELY , FLAWLESSLY , PASSIONATELY , ANGELICALLY , and SENSATIONALLY played and felt . Tyvm VALENTINA LISITSA for sharing your MIRACULOUS and BLESSED pianist talent with us ALL and with the WORLD !!! May god bless you and yours ! JESUS PEACE 💛♥️‼️
Few things can travel faster than light:
1. Objects traveling through worm holes
2. Two singularities sharing information
3. Valentina playing La Campanella and Moonlight Sonata, Presto Agitato.
thats is probabliy the last black-hole,which no one know were is it exactly---and b.h.-----have a speed about 300.000 km/s....but she 'is on the good road to reach them all!!!!!!!!!!
Scalar wave. Makes four.
Objects traveling through worm holes aren't faster than light, they just take shorter routes through the Spacetime fabric... They simply take shortcuts.
And regarding the second statement, I think you meant the "Quantum Entanglement" phenomena... Which is explained clearly that the measurements of the states of the two objects correlate perfectly and instantaneously but there is NO information passing between them, and the only way to see the correlation is by introducing both the measurements back together and that is something you have to do in a speed that is at or below the speed of light only... Because the speed of light is the ultimate speed in the universe.
There is no exploit here..
its ok..!!!!
My favorite pianist. And I saw/heard her live in concert! One of the highlights of my life!
Is there anything compared to live music ? Here in Nantes, we have La Folle Journée. Hundreds of classical pieces in a matter of a big w/e. I now watch the smiles on the artists' faces. When they do, you can bet it's a good time.
Her hands in everything she plays are so effortlessly placed it’s just…incredible in every way
This is one of the most inspirational things I’ve witnessed in my life.
I paused the video so her fingers could rest.
ur kind
So kind of you 😂😂😂
Lol, thanks kind sir.

I've been playing the piano for 40 years and honestly it seems like the best sentimental interpretation I've ever heard. It is not just the physical "performance", here we are talking about human feeling. Thanks Valentina
