beautifully played, but it seems fast to a viennese girl like me. also--what edition was used? i hear some detache arpeggios that i don't have... i think this movement is more improvisatory and sadder than it's often played--nostalgic. and notation is at the service of music, not vice-versa: one man's 'distortion' may be another's deep intuition. i think we all try to hear what the composer says in the context of our experience. thank you for this beautiful recording!
If you need the performer to distort the work to enjoy it, you probably don't actually enjoy the music. Beethoven is exciting even when played by a technically inadequate pianist. Certainly this clean and understanding performance is not at all lacking in musicality.
Fair enough, but he pretty much plays the sonata as it is written, adds ideas of his own, and seems quite engaged. I don't know what else he can do to "put more heart into it." It doesn't make sense to say his playing is devoid of emotion, unless by emotion you mean more facial expression, more bodily movements, dramatic hand gestures etc. .
it's really a shame that this sonata is not very often played, it's truly beautiful if played well...!it took me a while to find a good video of it here on youtube, thank god i found you, thank you!the best so far playing this sonata on youtube..good job, heard all the movements played by you and it will really help me while studying this...!
Great job!

Bravo!! Why not take a little time before the Coda passage? It's the final resolution! Don't be in such a hurry to come back to D!

p.s. a lot of time our conception of how a piece should sound like is actually quite off...esp. if you don't look at the score.

So you want this sonata to be played like Appasionata, Con fuoco, with lots of Lang's Lang's omg gestures?
