This is bar far one my most favorite sonatas and could not have been composed by anyone else but Beethoven. It is so moving to me that when I hear it, the tears flow because of it's bittersweet melody. It never fails to take my breath.
Just had to sign up to listen and watch Valentina Lisita play all three movements. Would that a friend from over 40 years ago, Judy McDowell, could see and hear this genius.
I love the way you play the Moonlight Sonata's 1st movement a bit faster. I've also started playing it and I love the way your version sounds. Very inspiring ! Thank you
BEAUTIFUL! I learned to play the first part of this movement, when I was younger. I don't play the piano, but I do the violin. So I had to transpose the bass clef into treble to learn to play the bottom staff! Not nearly as well as this young lady, though. That would be blasphemous to even suggest it!
In both this video and her Moonlight sonata 3rd, she has about .000101% of viewers dislike her video. This means that if every human on earth saw her video, only Detroit would dislike it.
I cant hear a proffessional play this without getting a tear in my eye! It´s so beautiful,and the interpetation is so perfect that i just get stunned! Flawless!
@HolyEyEolo It's a nosedive into the ground every morning when i awake from that dream. Then it is promptly followed by a chilling scream when reality once again rapes my innocent mind to remind of the fact, that what awaits me beyond the door is another trek by foot through the cold and rain.
I learned to play this song (of course, only the first movement), and it's the only one I can play so far. It's my top favorite and I can play it or listen to it (Valentina's interpretation) so many times... I don't seem to ever get enough of it. Valentina, you're a star and I wish you all the best. Thank you for this wonderful piece of music. I'm only upset a little by the Google Ad showing up after a few secs, which hides your hands. Would be great if you could have it removed.
It is not too fast, actually is exactly the tempo=55, as Beethoven wrote on this sheet... The tempo is perfect... You can paly it slower, but it is not the way Beet wanted it to be played. Grab the score and read it by yourself, put a metronome to count and hear :) Valentina plays it flawlesly! Perfect Valentina!
@pbryld she is using the pedal - this song consists largely of chord triads in triplets, accompanied by bass (left hand), which makes it easier to use the pedal without mushing notes together
@lksong2041 I've just heard people saying it should be played without using the pedal. Sounds terrible when I do so, but who knows, maybe she made it work. :p
I personally think the bass notes should be heavier (not louder) in the beginning, as it realy gives the piece a strong backbone, without lessening its fragility.
"Ninguna tontería he oído repetir con tanta frecuencia como esa que afirma que son delicadas las manos del pianista.Incluso cuando el resto de su cuerpo parece relajado, sus manos están duras y en alerta, como esos perros en apariencia dormidos que atrapan con un brusco movimiento la mosca que vuela ante sus fauces"
Valentina plays the Moonlight Sonata the best way possible, as regards the characteristics of the Romantic period. This masterwork appears to be an easy-piano piece, but it is extremely difficult to interpret it, since you must put feeling in it. That is why you will not hear to pianists playing it the same. Valentina proves her high class, playing the perfect modulations; starting 2:20 you feel the steep, while the maximum point is touched at 2:35; briliant!
Her hands glide thru the piano so perfectly and smoothly. That's when you can tell when someone isn't just playing a song , but living it breathing it feeling it she was so intouch with this song. Great pianist
@themaggot8 Metalhead here too..there's a lot of metal that borrows from classical. Modes and things like that. People think metal is brainless..classic metal was NOT an easy style to play...it was very technically demanding
This young woman is SO good, her fingers look (to me) like taranchula spiders moving across the keyboard. I LOVE her interp, mood and passion for this piece. She is outstanding!

long ago I found a video of this piece but only with pictures of the moon and such and i was in love with that version and grew used to it but i never could find the one who actually played that because the other versions sound totally different to me and now I think i found that person :) the same speed, the same strength, the same feelings
Your recording of the moonlight sonata has given me strength in times of struggle. I honestly think this is such a beautiful piece, but the way you play it gives me strength, faith, and hope. I want to thank you for this. We may never meet, but you have touched me in an incredible ways. When I listen to any other person's moonlight sonata it just isn't the same.. I find myself always back to your recordings.
Valentina understood what Beethoven meant to express with these notes so well that she is probably able to compose something as beatiful as this piece
@kavoos1375 I disagree, just because new music today isn't the same style as romantic pieces like beethoven or chopin made doesn't mean that there aren't great musicians today. I love listening/playing liszt and chopin and beethoven, but I listen to a lot of heavy rock as well. There are a lot of skilled musicians out there.
@MrHeyheyhey27 It's not that I don't think there are skilled musicians in contemporary society, but you totally just put heavy rock on the same level as Chopin and Beethoven. I am appalled. Shocked, scandalized, dismayed; a plethora of synonyms for fear do bestir my soul to quake against the judgement which doth gather darkly above thy unworthy head which houseth a mind so eeevil.
@isleschild I see Liszt's Mazeppa and his Chasse-Neige and Chopin's Ocean Etude in the exact same way that I see Blinded By Fear (by At The Gates) or Indestructible (by Disturbed). They are all relentless, powerful songs and they all have a kind of fire behind them that I love hearing (incidentally, Berezovsky's performance of Mazeppa is my favorite).
@megadodd That's a very pessimistic and good-old-days-syndrome way of looking at the world. There was plenty of shit music in Mozart's time, too. It's just that all the bad stuff got filtered out and forgotten after hundreds of years. In fact, for a lot of history (especially recent history, which we have better records of), "popular" music for the time was rarely the music that got remembered and passed down.
@MrHeyheyhey27 that's right, i can enjoy cradle of filth as well as dj kentaro or satoko fuji or grashoppers big band as well as this, why would classical be restricted to an era ? no way of saying what the classic of tomorrow will be, great music is timeless, no matter the means used in creating it, its about virtuosity
You make a confusion: Beethoven belongs to the Clasical period, while Chopin belongs to the Romantic period; these two periods are significantly different, in terms of interpretation, modulation, tempo, etc...
But you are right: today are also great musicians, this depending on the listeners' preferences
@MrHeyheyhey27 You are correct, there is a lot of debate about Beethoven's placement. He is traditionally considered a classical composer but introduced and played with many of the qualities that would become Romantic. As such, a number of modern scholars would consider him to be the very first Romantic composer.
Regardless of how you classify him, he occupies a unique niche as either an early, trailblazing Romantic or an innovative and emotional composer who made the classical style his own.
@Gossip007Bondgirl beethoven, chopin & the rest certainly belongs among the greatest of all times, but i believe there is one better than them today. go search "Derek Paravicini on 60 MINUTES - Autistic Savant " on youtube.. and be prepared to be amazed. derek, imo, is probably the best gifted pianist on the planet we have today and possibly of all time. there's also a 6 part documentary on him as well on youtube.
great song for music theory... this was a true brain buster for me. 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to 5 to.... 1 ahhhhhh resolution sounds so beautiful...
I love this video. I favourited it and watch every day, however I do have one little complaint to make, the sound is way too low. I almost can't hear it. I must up the volume so much everytime I listen to this, then all other sounds my computer makes are soo very loud... I wish someone would edit the audio levels of this clip.
@BreakingFeathers no mate, the sound is very low in this video. My computer is all right. I've got the volume set to a pleasant level, and watch any other videos on YouTube, or listen to my mp3s or whatever, then when I visit this clip, I hear nothing. I always have to up the volume so very much just to be able to listen to this. The sound needs to be normalised so it comes out at the same level as other clips on the same volume setting.
@Mast3rP3t3r I would not presume to tell you about your own computer, but I must say that the volume of this video is just grand on the three computers that I use most.
@minislayer2010 That just happens to be my favourite video game franchise, friend. In the mini-game 'Lost in Nightmares', in Resident Evil 5, it plays a part, and in the main hall, the second movement is the background music. As a fan of both Beethoven and Resident Evil, that little reference is truly fulfilling.
I must say, I have been re-learning the piano for about 2 and 1/2 years now ( I took lessons long long ago.) Ive commented to you befor on fur elise. You inspire me and I honestly believe you are the best piano Player I have ever and will ever hear. when I want to find a new song to learn I see If youve played it and listen to you to see how its supposed to sound. Thanks your awesome!

@MrHeyheyhey27 that's right, i can enjoy cradle of filth as well as dj kentaro or satoko fuji or grashoppers big band as well as this, why would classical be restricted to an era ? no way of saying what the classic of tomorrow will be, great music is timeless, no matter the means used in creating it, its about virtuosity

@MrHeyheyhey27 ya in metal and rock. not in pop and rap and country. Most metal is todays classical music.

You make a confusion: Beethoven belongs to the Clasical period, while Chopin belongs to the Romantic period; these two periods are significantly different, in terms of interpretation, modulation, tempo, etc...
But you are right: today are also great musicians, this depending on the listeners' preferences

@popapopas Really? I thought a lot of beethoven's music had romantic qualities...wasn't he right on the border between the two?
MrHeyheyhey27 2 months ago
@MrHeyheyhey27 You are correct, there is a lot of debate about Beethoven's placement. He is traditionally considered a classical composer but introduced and played with many of the qualities that would become Romantic. As such, a number of modern scholars would consider him to be the very first Romantic composer.
Regardless of how you classify him, he occupies a unique niche as either an early, trailblazing Romantic or an innovative and emotional composer who made the classical style his own.

@MrHeyheyhey27 Mozart is Classical, not romantic. Get your facts right.

@Gossip007Bondgirl beethoven, chopin & the rest certainly belongs among the greatest of all times, but i believe there is one better than them today. go search "Derek Paravicini on 60 MINUTES - Autistic Savant " on youtube.. and be prepared to be amazed. derek, imo, is probably the best gifted pianist on the planet we have today and possibly of all time. there's also a 6 part documentary on him as well on youtube.

I love this video. I favourited it and watch every day, however I do have one little complaint to make, the sound is way too low. I almost can't hear it. I must up the volume so much everytime I listen to this, then all other sounds my computer makes are soo very loud... I wish someone would edit the audio levels of this clip.

@BreakingFeathers no mate, the sound is very low in this video. My computer is all right. I've got the volume set to a pleasant level, and watch any other videos on YouTube, or listen to my mp3s or whatever, then when I visit this clip, I hear nothing. I always have to up the volume so very much just to be able to listen to this. The sound needs to be normalised so it comes out at the same level as other clips on the same volume setting.

@Mast3rP3t3r I would not presume to tell you about your own computer, but I must say that the volume of this video is just grand on the three computers that I use most.

@minislayer2010 That just happens to be my favourite video game franchise, friend. In the mini-game 'Lost in Nightmares', in Resident Evil 5, it plays a part, and in the main hall, the second movement is the background music. As a fan of both Beethoven and Resident Evil, that little reference is truly fulfilling.
