[anatol1204]

ανεπαναληπτος..τον ευχαριστουμε

[TonyWRO]

the best part of this sonata

[fabiomax83]

How infinite and profound sadness and humanity .A unique ability to understand the pain of all, the universal bond that makes us weak and brothers.And together that great song of hope ...a song of rebirth...

[RichardFeynmanRules]

Radiant, transcendent, playing...what a master! Thanks for sharing this.

[chipncharge94]

Franz Schubert must be the most cheerless man who has ever lived. :(

[dardanus85]

Nessuno suona meglio di Richer l'Andante sostenuto della 960

[bonsema1]

simply put " THE interpretation of ageneration "

To get the drama and tension you may have had to be an unhappy man that Richter admitted to that he was.

[Semas79]

8:20 hasta el final... Sublime!!

[mariacelloful]

ειναι ο μοναδικος πιανιστας που εχει την ικανοτητα να φτιαχνει εικονες κ να σε ταξιδευει.ειναι υ π ε ρ ο χ ο ς.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lactoris1]

Compare the Brendel performance - both excellent - subtle rhythm with accented beat often a silent note - a very unusual effect.

[sansfrontieres2]

so elegant and so expressive...

[samsonno]

Fantastic playing! So utterly moving!

[mdoub]

wow.

353 views since this was posted three months ago. In a population of 5 billion only 3 people per day have looked up to in you tube to listen to this masterpiece played so beautifully.

Schubert, in relative terms, remains as unappreciated today as he was in 1828.

[efitzge76]

I listen to (and play) Schubert nearly every day.

This is one of my favourite works of Schubert, and Richter - well...Richter's understanding of and connection with this music transcends anything measurable.

This really is some of them most beautiful music and playing I've ever listened to. Nobody can make the 'sounds' on the piano that Richter can. That is art.

[jf3550]

I so agree with you. Schubert sonatas are amongst the most beautiful works of art ever made by musicians

[Ivanhoe2]

@efitzge76 Sir, I enjoyed reading your comment of two years ago. I, too, adore Richter's playing of this divine piece. Best wishes to you and long may you enjoy playing Schubert.

[Brianjonestown]

Well, that's certainly not true.

[pjioayncoe]

Nogood4242, I agree. This goes into my Pieces That Should Have Been Burned playlist.

[munkybrain]

ya know in the first movement, where it kind of tumbles into Gb? like duhdu duuh duh duhh. after that what kind of movement do you need in the left hand as i don't take piano lessons and want to avoid crippleing myself

[magdluke]

Sorry it's about 5 months late - hopefully it'll still be useful! You need to keep you wrist very loose & rotate the arm from the elbow. Make sure that you keep your upper & lower arm free of tension. The worst thing you can do is attempt to use your fingers, because obviously it's impossible to stretch that far. It's all about rotation!! Try practicing Chopin's etude op. 25/1, it'll really help.

[montfiori]

@magdluke yes you are your rotation thing helps. That is called "technik" : I think technik is when you have learned useful actions on the piano with the target to make music (to sing what Schubert was feeling when he wrote down the dead black notes. A Pianist is someone i think who can make dead people (composers) alive again. He get them rising up out of their caves. Thats the magical, divine etc. moment.
