Beethoven "Tempest" Sonata III movement Sandro Bisotti piano

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@SharmaYelverton

Generous words on me, thank you.

I agree with your hisorical considerations about "mainstream" of today

compare to other older (and preferred by me) styles.

[med822]

Allegretto man

Allegretto vivace

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@med822

Allegretto man.

Allegretto with three pulses each bar, not one.

If one counts in one time, and not 3, it becomes absurd IMHO.

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

I wish I could play the piano.

[AVNyc10023]

Bravo...most pianists play this too quickly.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@AVNyc10023

Thank you!

[EdoTrb]

Interpretazione eccezionale e di grande effetto.Complimenti

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@EdoTrb

Davvero gentile, grazie!!

[Foreverinsolitude]

I love your passion, you can see it on your face and in your hands, which alot of other pianists lack...however I don't enjoy this peice at this tempo - it was written to be fast and so I can't connect with it at this speed. You play it very well though x

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@Foreverinsolitude

Too much kind , thank you.

About the tempo.....no pretense to demonstrate nothing, but if one counts in 3 beats and not in one......

[Foreverinsolitude]

@SarrasaniPianoCircus Well, its just my personal taste :P But I still think your incredable!

[koooraman]

This is amazing, it shows a lot of musical character. Great job, and thank you for bringing such music to our ears.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@koooraman

you are really kind.

Thank you by heart,

sandro.

[bronzeantique]

Really it shows a remarkable musical personality

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@bronzeantique

thank you, so kind!!

[SuperHan28]

How can anyone dislike this?!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@SuperHan28

one can......and also can dislike 100 ties better pianists than me, as Pogorelich or Pletnev. It's a question of taste, abitude, horizon blocked in mainstream playing....

Thank you by heart and all the best,

Sandro

[BravoAlfaLima]

Amazing, just amazing.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@BravoAlfaLima

too much kind, thank you!!!

[XAnalogmanX]

Perfect! Full of emotion and spirit!

I must say I hate most of the pianists who play this. They only play fast notes without feeling enything. I love versions on tempos similar to this.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@XAnalogmanX

Thank you much!!!

[Malaka57]

Slow yes, but with lots of strength and potential speed (this doesn't seem to me to be played in a practice slowness, am I right?), and I love what happens at this speed , the music begins actually conversing with the listener, one has time to reflect a little on what is happening. Fact is, Beethoven did not call this "Tempest" so it has nothing to do with lots of speed and drama or the Shakespeare play. So no need to race through it... Bravo, I love it.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@Malaka57

So kind! Thank you.

I ever think also to that allegretto (or allegro, it's the same).....if we count in 3 tempos

my speed is already fast......

And the "Tempest" is in the forst mov.

[Malaka57]

@SarrasaniPianoCircus .... Ha! You can play it like a Viennese Waltz in other words... like the opposite of the crossed C. And sometimes titles are misleading. Like Chopin Op25#12 as "Ocean" ... Why ocean? Maybe Chopin was listening to the claning lady banging on the door with her broom...

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@Malaka57

If you find in my version a Viennese Waltz....no problem.

C crossed? Where? I read 3/8. Allegretto tempo each 1/8, and let's go to research

the images and myths, that nothing other is interesting in music.

[A8opi]

well you played with emotion, but i guess you could play a little bit faster huh ?

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@A8opi

thank you for attention. Each time, a different version. I find so wrong to fix an interpretation and to repeat it each time. And if we count in 3 tempos (and not in one)

the motion is not slow.....

Thank you much for attention and commenting, and all the best,

S.

[badata69]

marvelous!!!! if you played this in front of me i would cry!!!!!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@badata69

Thank you!! proud of your attention.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@borisoff22

too much kind....

but only a thing: if we consider the tempo in 3 beats and not in 1, my tempo is not

slow. Are we sure that time is "allegro" beat each 3 beats, and not EACH beat?

This is not the point, but.....

[DLuffy13]

this piece is very common to moonlight 3 mvt.I am sure Beethoven firstly wrote this and after monnlights 1,2,3

[xytor500]

I like how your reserved tempo really makes the impact of each and every note stand out. Bravo!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@xytor500

Thank you much!

[DJponkthispartay]

very emotional but I think it lacks speed. yes it is marked allegretto tho for some reason it's tempo sounds as if it's verging on going towards moderato

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@DJponkthispartay

first of all thank you for attention and interesting comment.

I think that problem is : Allegretto time each bar or each (3) beat of te bar.

I bet on the second, then my tempo.

[Ieadersheep]

@DJponkthispartay ... all over the world, storms are different. this european storm definitely unfolds uniquely in its slowlyness and expression!

^__^ this is a masterpiece!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@Ieadersheep

thank you!!!

[GrowingIntoAGod]

WOW! I like it very much, how you play this piece!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@GrowingIntoAGod

thank you much!!!

[MrsShamir]

My dear Sandro, your tempest interpretation inspired me to try and play the piece myself (in which I succeeded only partly after months of practising;-)

So every now and again I enjoy immensely your moving way of playing!

Thank you ever so much!! Musical love from Holland, Miriam

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@MrsShamir

So kind, thank you!!!

[JPP49]

i try to learn that piece at the moment .. this version is unbelievable .. great job

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@JPP49 Thank you!!! Happy you liked it.

[kangoos2000]

nice! funny enough, I think that Beethoven borrowed the theme from a Kulhau's sonatina, or it might be the opposite

[bubylugo88]

I think it's a very original interpretation!!! Very passionate...I definately like it!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@bubylugo88

thank you much!!!

[dmitry408]

Very good!  Where can I download the sheet of this music?

[AndreaMariePlease]

You can't download it, I looked everywhere and just resorted to going to my local music store and have them order it for me. it's a beautiful piece, a little difficult, I'm playing it for my recital next month.

[ponygamer79]

Hello,

I find your interpretation interesting but you should contain your passion a little more. Even whithout looking the video, we can "hear" your movements.

A little more sobriety and it could belong very well.

Friendly

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you much for attention!!

[cocozin]

This is beautiful! Thanks for this interpretation.

Pianists should leave the strict tempo to machines and play more like this.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@cocozin

too much kind, thank you.

Happy of your generous words on my version, and more happy you like this concept of tempo.

I'm not interested in promoting myself, but only in demonstrating that (also at an amateur level as mine) a certain kind of style can have right to speak....

[MyExGirlf]

Wonderful! Really liked your interpretation on this very touching piece.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@MyExGirlf

thank you by heart for attention and commenting.

[EdiEllerymissing]

REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS! I played this difficult sonata a few years ago. You should keep into the score. That way you shouldn't sound exagerated.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@EdiEllerymissing

THANK YOU! After these words, I'll enter in the score (I now see its entrance door!) and so I'll play it in the correct way.

[cowsaymoo2x]

what kind of musician are you if you do the same thing everyone else does?

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@cowsaymoo2x

Interesting. Do you find this version equal to the other ones (also only here on YT)?

I know that two pianists cannot play two notes at the same manner. Then each interpreter make his own (different from all the other ones) music, also if he plays

with a score....

Bye!

[cowsaymoo2x]

@SarrasaniPianoCircus oh sorry I was aiming that comment to EdiEllerymissing who said u should stick to the score which I think is the worst thing someione can do. I love your version. I actually learned 1 and a half pages of this song because of your playing. Music isnt the notes written on paper its the soundwaves your ears hear.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@cowsaymoo2x

I apologize. Again thank you, and sorry for (funny, let's admit) misunderstanding.

[skillmatrix09]

@SarrasaniPianoCircus no need to apologize its half my fault for not specifying. Continue playing. By the way you should play some schubert pieces. Ive noticed you havea lot of composers but not Schubert.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@skillmatrix09

I adore Schubert, especially his Lieder and chamber music. I play the D. 959 Sonata. I had to prepare the video....

Bye, and again thank you,

Sandro

[aberhan78]

Bravooooooooo

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you much!!!

[Desmonddd2002]

And one of things i noticed is the repeat there is been cut and paste into it.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

oh, good. here, as in many of my videos, there are lots of "cut and paste", then if one one see only one.....good result.

[Desmonddd2002]

I never sed it was bad. I loved the performance very much. I just dont understand why do you have to cut and paste.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

@Desmonddd2002

To play many minutes with no or few errors is pro matter......and pro in their recordings make tons of "cut and paste".

I use in average 2-3 cutting point, an half of my videos has no cutting points.

But thank you much for attention.

[Desmonddd2002]

What recording instrument did you use

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

a pair of Rode K2.

Good quality for the price.

[2JamesGregory]

That was excellent! Much more relaxed and personal in a home atmosphere.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you!!!!

[Floow]

The only person who did know how to play this piece was Beethoven himself... So there is no right no wrong nowadays.

I find this version incredibly beautiful! So much more emotion than other I heard. It's my opinion...

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

The problem is to make music, possibly at a decent emotional and technical level.

All we player use some scores, because many of us think that scores are immensely better than our ones......

the "truth" of the score is IMHO a myth, not a reality.

[2473922]

Thank you Sandro, most enjoyable as with all your music, the pleasure you give is immeasurable, Regards Don.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you Don, sometimes I play (or mentally sing) your so fine melody.

[MTheoryGuy]

I love how you let the notes ring. Most pianists on you youtube tend to drown out the key notes in this sonata by playing too fast, or not accentuating them enough. This is just wonderful. Very different but just as beautiful as that of the great Kempf in my opinion.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

too much kind, thank you. I think that a grand piano in a small room need time (for each note). Ono cannot cut each note at its beginning, it's not natural.

[y1g1tcn]

mine was just a warning. because this performance is only good but by this level of playing can be better and more tasteful. thank you.

[y1g1tcn]

i dont mean avoid them but let them alone or be natural. anyway good work. congratulations.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

You decided that they are not natural.....

ok, I admire yoyr sureness, but I'm not interested in your considerations about this secondary aspect.

Thank you.

[glorban]

very good! You're actually making music with the piece. I've heard a lot of interpretations so far on youtube, and so many are just about speed, and they're very "dry" performances. By far, yours is one of the best on youtube!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

too much kind words, thank you much!

[pistouille1]

Sorry but I can't agree with this way of playing that piece.

Même avec une grande largeur d'esprit, on ne peut cautionner le doigté main gauche dans le thème principal, qui empêche de conserver la base harmonique, également les accents brisent la fluidité du discours.

Regarder W KEMPF vous donnera des pistes pour donner tout le coeur et la sensibilité que vous mettez par ailleurs dans ce morceau.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

But your message could be : " I prefer Kempff" . More direct and less "not-requested-lesson-tone". Obviously I know and appreciate that (and many others) version....

[Sykostikism]

Definitely my favorite performance of this piece.  Bravo.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you much!! so kind words....happy you liked.

[urbanescimo]

inspirering :)

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

but thank you!!!

[redhotchiliangel]

Great. Awesom interpretetion. Good sound.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you!!

[mandalove4]

great job! i love watching you!:p

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you by heart.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you!!!

[creamystuffs]

this is awesome. I love it!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

thank you much, happy you liked.

[ckc357]

Wow, this is one of my favoriate piece and i've heard so many version including Wilhelm's. Listening to your play is a pleasure actually quite emotional as well. There is no right way or the best way to play a song. You've got your own style and interpretation. I can feel the passion in your music!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you much for attention and so kind words.

[Bgrazier]

lol lovin the mouth metranome. 10./10

[giooig2002]

Well, i see 3 movement of that sonata like a moto perpetuo, and it finishes in nothing. Very difficult to render but the most great effect if to finish without slowing down, gradually decreasing volume like till disappearing in nothing.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Again thank you. What I see (and what I do)  in that final: a mirror, a symmetrical repetition of the beginning of the entire Sonata. Bye,

S.

[giooig2002]

are you sure this is the best way of playing the and of the movement?

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

If I had to be sure that I play a passage "in the best way of playing" I (and everyone) could not touch the piano. I can make only what match my taste (and my technique, and my piano, and my microphones).....

[cooking4fun]

have added this to my vlog...thanx for the beautiful music♫...keep it coming♫ and we would gladly welcome it in our hearts♥...most sincere~~~C4F♪

[freakytea]

Wow, I'm blown away frankly. Wonderful playing. I'm so glad you posted this unique and sincere interpretation.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

but thank you!!

[jasonferguson]

Very nicely done, except perhaps for a bit too much pedal. Certainly, you put much more feeling into this than I've heard in so many other versions!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you. Without passion music is unuseful.

[lhiasczkter]

A bit slow but perfect emotion, I really love it !!!!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

proud of your attention, thank you much!

[Ararara22]

Quite a refreshing and unexpected rendition indeed, bringing out a nearly Mozart-like or Scarlatti-like feeling to this ever-disquieting sonata...

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you, in fact I like much the LvB versions of Yves Nat (about him some critics tells "he plays LvB with '700 taste").

[wolfieman2003]

Thank you for the beautiful music! you play with such feeling and bought the music alive for me. Thank you.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

But Thank you by heart for so kind words.

proud of your attention, bye!

Sandro

[darkpromo]

When I listen to this sonata I always put on Kempff's version cause that is in my opinion the best beethoven player ( and to many others).

But then I listened to your version and I am touched. My god what a great performance you gave here. You can really tell that you put your hart and soul into this masterpiece.

Great job, keep on the good work !!!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you! Generous your words about my (I hope) generous amateur playing.

And Kempff is surely a great musician, full of good taste.

[Orangananas]

Très original dans l'interprétation et surprennant ! Je suis fan !

[luis2514luis2514]

hey Beautiful performance :)

thanks for the vid.

greets from Mexico

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

But Thank You much for your attention and so kind and generous comment.

Bye!

Sandro

[ot01794]

Such a beautiful and masterful piece. Well played and faithful to the score! Thanks for posting your performance.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you! It's only a little view of how can play a simple and modest amateur.

[armeniantamara]

Good try, a valiant effort, but listen to KEMPFF, that's in a different league.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Obviously I know (and appreciate, but not enough to avoid my purpose) Kemff and other 100 versions, then your suggestion is unuseful and silly.

Thank you much for attention.

[slutissime]

It is the 1st time I hear this music, it is the most beautiful of the word ... You're amazing. Beethoven could be proud !

Thanks for the emotions.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Then good approach, eheh.

Thank you by heart, you are really kind.

[Sicnarfdemon]

Beautifull performance of that wonderfull piece of beethoven that is Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Opus 31 No. 2 :D

I'll say a Bravissimo! You are a wonderfull human being and continue to share your passion with everyone :)

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

The sure thing is that YOU are a wonderful human being, so kind and generous with your so encouraging words.

Thankl you by heart.

[SaintShinobi]

Nicely performed, It's great how it starts growing and growing.

One of the best youtube version I've heard, I mostly preffer Glen's version. It has so much rage and power, just like a storm. Just a personal opinion. But yours sound like the afterwards of the strom, with all the torrent of emotions, very very good.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you much for attentions and so kind comment.

[terenhas]

Absolutely amazing!

[cowsaymoo2x]

Wow very smooth and flowing.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you much. The shooth sound here is a value, and I'm happy you recognize it.

[yusufrecep]

what did you have saying with playing piano???

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

I tell to the piano how he must sing!!

Eheh, thank you much for attention.

[yusufrecep]

thanks for answer :D:Dthat's great play but it's too slow no?

[salena32192]

oh my gosh, I wish i can play as good as you...you are an amazing pianist, your my biggest influence, what a great version of this song, i personally love this one so much better than the original.

that must have taken tons of practice.

thank you so much for posting this video, it was fabulous.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Too much kind, thank you by heart!

[condevronsky]

Divina essa interpretação. Não sou um grande conhecedor de música clássica, mas esse movimento me toca profundamene. Belíssima interpretação!

Abraço!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Grazie (sorry because I'm not able to write in portuguese). Too much kind, thank you by heart.

[BarNuun]

Gorgeous interpretation, very dramatic. Your Rieger Kloss, or the camcorder captures fairly well the sound of a Fortepiano.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Too much kind. I use simultaneous but separate audio taking, with two good external mics (Rode k2), then I match to the video. Thank you by heart for commenting.

[vampireboy1875]

Wonderful! May I ask what brand of piano you are playing? What length and year is it? I love its tone so much!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Hello, and thank you for attention.

The piano is a "Rieger Kloss" , the same as "Bohemia pianos" 1,95 long, model Jaacek. Czech made, new, made 4-5 years ago. Happy you liked it. Very good the Yamaha and Kawai of the same price zone (about 15K euros) I tried, and better refined, but I preferred this one.

[hymaglobin]

how long have you ben playing?

[hymaglobin]

you make me smile :)

[sikoD666]

i really useshly only watch music vid on youtube and i was trying to get the notes for tempest and i say this and i listened to it and it was awesome and this is coming from a teenager who likes punk rock so that was really GOOD!! 5 stars

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you! Twice happy when someone

not "specialist" (not so good race) appreciate. And go with punk rock! I like much Joy Division, and not bad some Green Day and Radiohead songs.

[GodsWayActivist]

Senor Bisotti, BRAVO! Like Wilhelm Kempff, your playing breathes gloriously! You are not afraid to play slowly and broadly and passionately! I appreciate your interpretation very much; yours is my favorite recording on YouTube of the Tempest III, next to the immortal Kempff.

Thank you for sharing, Katheryne

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Very kind, thank you.

I too appreciate much Kempff (very good also as composer, enjoyable his piano compositions). All the best,

Sandro

[aleferrarif08]

Complimenti di nuovo, ogni tanto rivedo le tue esecuzioni perchè mi piacciono molto, come suoni poi mi ricordi Glenn Gould, per la passione che metti e la rendi pubblica! Grande....

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Sei gentilissimo, mi fa veramente piacere

leggere tali commenti. Ciao.

[joule162534]

slow... and played perfectly...

slow sometimes sounds better ;)

5 stars

[saintreven]

I gave you 4 starts for this....your dynamic interpretation is wonderful, especially when your left hands carries the motif. However....I felt that it was dreadfully slow....

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you by heart for attention and sincere and personal criticism, and all the best.

[Heichi3]

5starz

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you!! very kind.

[chinesep1mp]

I think personally that he is overexaggerating his face..... good playin though

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you much sincerely....and no problem about my face. Better music good and bad faces than the contrary, eheh. Bye and again thank you.

[Xcelerate2]

I don't see why anyone gave you less than five stars!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Really kind, thank you by heart,

Sandro.

[Chopin1986]

great! I love your interpretation!!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Too much kind, thank you!

[oqla2000]

great man ! i like it alllllot

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Thank you by heart. Proud of your interest.

[Maximized1990]

Very nicely done! I like the way how you use some rubato during play (intentionally or not). It makes the piece more dynamic, and interesting to listen to.

Thanks!

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Too much kind, thank you!

Let's tell that IMHO tempo is depending from

expressive intentions, and not the contrary.

More funny.

[KhMErTRiAd]

haha i like u u listen to the beat from ur mouth i do the same when im playing the peice

[petie32]

Very nice, overly slow, but some like heads, some tails.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Really kind, thank you much for attention and commenting. Bye,

Sandro

[grand2334]

what other beethoven pieces do you know?If you know more i bet you play really well

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

Very kind, thank you. I play also Appassionata sonata.

[icer22x]

Wow... Beethoven is my favorite composer and you just flawlessly played one of my favorite pieces... absolutely amazing.

[grand2334]

nicely done
