Beethoven .... He's a fuc*ing Rockstar! :)

[93rardo]

[newgeorge]

sonetimes too fast I think and perhaps a little too romantic at times?

Oh, good grief! I wonder, really! How frigging soft/smooth or both, your hands has to be to play this!

[chopinandliszt]

I love Ludwy!!!!!!!!!!

[KatShaw162]

ludwig once turned up to a performance of his new pieces shortly after losing all written testament to them. he played them all from memory! i think that shows his pedigree on the piano and in general, amazing!!!!!!!

[gspaulsson]

@KatShaw162 soloists almost always play from memory. Sviatoslav Richter has a score in front of him because he once had a memory lapse, but nobody else does. Anyway, Beethoven was a phenomenal improviser, and if he deviated from the written score, (a) who would know?, and (b) it would be authentic anyway, however he played it. Beethoven's genius doesn't consist of being able to do parlour tricks.

[EaiteFojdcee]

I assume so, considering he wrote it. It seems logical that he would've played it at one point.

It's a very difficult piece, incredibly fast, it would require a highly skilled player.

[Desmonddd2002]

Did Beethoven play this this is very very fast but very precisely separated my god this is very brilliant

[Sharingan864]

I don't believe they had audio recording equipment in beethoven's day.

[Desmonddd2002]

Of corse I know that beethoven did not play this

=.="...

[1upMusician]

You very much underestimate how talented beethoven was..

[sl28ave]

Sounds similar to Paul Badura-Skoda's early 80's recording on the Astree label. Love it!

[711LOVE324]
