I think it's not so bad to put 2 dislikes!

not structured as well as his later sonatas...but like I can do any better??? Barenboim plays how Beethoven would have probably played it, it is an honor to hear him play.

Barenboim is Beethoven

Love this sonata, played by this amazing musician.

Pity it's incomplete. Why was it truncated abruptly towards the end?

I love how peaceful and angry this song is. One of my favorite classical piano songs.

@Prestothemusic

Hey pal this is not a song. Nobody is singing it.

[Prestothemusic]

@pchk1

Thank you. I've already had 7 other people remind me of my misuse of the word "song" on my other comments. I think I would know by now.

@Prestothemusic

Haha we people in Hong Kong also get the Chinese version of these two terms mixed up so often.

So we sing a song and play a piece ^_^

@Prestothemusic It seems that these "musicians" (or pedants, rather) look for any opportunity to demonstrate their superior knowledge! For me, if the melody feels like it is singing, it may be called a song.

[TwelfthRoot2]

@ollieacappella Well said! Chopin said many times that his goal at the piano was to make it sing like the human voice

beautiful control
