Those of you who think you are greater players than Kempf and greater composers than Beethoven please don't hesitate to share with us your moments and minutes of creativity. Otherwise please consider to be a little more modest while talking about these men.
@Gheorgyi I think they have already done that to our ears. Tune to a pop radio station or watch a school rock video clip or even better check out a cover of a Celine Dion song performed by all the passion in the world in my aunt's backyard. Now that's something to be proud of and dislike Beethoven with a clear conscience. Don't forget Aspirins though. I personally resort to Aspirins by Bayer. The very brand I guess Beethoven used while listening to a Rossini.
@Johnfdallas ME, a pop radio station??!!! a school rock video clip??!!! listen to - ehm - this Céline Dion??!!! AAA-RR-GGHHH, NEVER. Aspirin was INVENTED by Bayer, its patent is kept running so as to keep its price up. LvB couldn’t use it though, he died in 1827 (Bayer AG was founded in 1863). LvB told GR "to do more comedies", implying he was not capable of writing a dramatic opera. But he could never hear a performance of "Wilhelm Tell" (he died in 1827, just before its completion in 1829)
@Johnfdallas I took it seriously, because I didn't know how to take it... :-) You're welcome. For information, you don't need to buy the original Bayer ASA: there are brands of aspirin that sell for much less and, in the USA, are sold over the counter and can be found on the shelves of supermarkets - one doesn't need to go to a pharmacy. P.S.: "fiend"??!!!
@Gheorgyi Sincere apologies from my crappy keyboard. Once in a while I shake it and guess what? I find a truck load of stuff I had lost a while ago: pins, lost keys, my ex, ad infinitum...
I'm playing this piece now, I play it much more slowly... He plays very well but there's a lot of mystery in the piece that he misses because he rushes through it.
@ficklestyx due to time restraints of recording devices in this period, recordings were rushed so they dont run out of film,space on the record! Do what you do, there is no right or wrong, only music. True and great musicians know this, it is the dis-ilusioned youth that think everything is fast. Most good things int his world are best served slowly with a hint of mystery.
i am learning this, and it is so fun! especially the 3rd movement. If there's any piano players out there who didn't do this yet, i guarantee you'll be great at it. :)
1,041 people liked this video, they appreciate the beauty of this piece just like me, maybe even more - But I have to worry about those who disliked the video ... why? because I'm NEGATIVE. Enough said.
It is soo obvious that Kempff loves what he is doing, though his face is very neutral. One just has to watch how he moves his head to the music and how his eyes shine to see his happiness! Thank you very much for loading this video!
@jazzsaxgirl98 "In succession, the name was "Attack [or] To Attack" a thing. Afterward, I cannot repeat this thing. In this way, for me, the difficulty is this. This evening, so it is, ours to endure the minutes taken to prepare the piano. (name, date of the piece follow) This is the first movement."
^The French man is translating for Kempff, who is most likely speaking German or English, and this is his introduction.
I'm 17 and on Grade 8 piano. It is my dream to play all of Beethoven's Sonatas before i die! I study with John O'Conor (search you tube for John O Conor Beethoven Bootcamp) he is a concert pianist and gives a wonderful masterclass here on you tube! Check it out and tell me what you think! :)
@anonymous4gud some german people sound like that when they speak french. My french teacher told us in this case "Du klingst wie ein suedfranzoesischer Weinbauer" ("you sound like a winegrower from southern france") :-)
Wilhem Kempff !!! toute l'Allemagne que j'aime : le pays de la culture, du romantisme ,de la musique,de la philosophie...pas celle du côté obscur de la Force....!
You are the one who is ignorant. I'm a die hard metalhead, but before I discovered metal, I sang opera, played classical piano, and loved classical music in general. I'm not the only one. Many famous metal musicians are heavily influenced by classical music. Do a search on Yngwie Malmsteen, who created neo-classical metal, for a good example. Not to mention Chris Broderick, thrash metal band Megadeth's guitarist, has a degree in classical guitar. Next time don't judge people.
Great interpretation and I just adore the piece! Well done for posting this. Sadly my french is horrible and i can't make almost any sense of what Wilhelm Kempff says in the beginning. Could you please include a translation of that in the description? Hope it's not too much of a bother. Thank you.
see the girl on 1: 21 her expression just says "oh damn i wished that i could play this Holynes of Man, but i have to make dinner innsted :(" its totally what she is thinking :P
I very much admire Kempff's Beethoven; he plays more to the feminine side, whereas Backhaus plays more to the masculine side, IMO. Couldn't live without both, my favorite Beethoven pianists.
@LudwigZhi If you feel an art with only one sense organ, then you're a beginner in life. You have to feel it with your whole existance, music is not for only ears
At first, I thought he was playing this too conservatively, and that still may be a valid criticism, but one shouldn't focus on that. His control and bringing out of harmonies makes for an admirable interpretation, even great. But he is one kind of performer. There are others with a great fire. I have heard Clara Haskil play this more like "Tempest."
Please learn your history before you bash on Wilhelm. Yes the german public voted for Hitler, but it wasn't until he took power that he unveiled his plan for the Jews *the Jews voted for him as well*
what about Hitler's book Mein Kampf published years before he was appointed chancellor by Hindeburg and then took on the Presidency itself as well in 1933? Did he not make it clear how he felt about the Jews in that book which he wrote in Landsberg prison? Is that not part of history?
who cares if he was part of the nazi, hes an amazing pianist and he plays amazingly hands down. he plays this piece like its nothings. so effortlessly and smooth. perfect.
Just enjoy the music and shut up. Most Germans were forced into supporting hitler anyway it wasent " hey Hanz lets go kill some Jueden" "Ja Franz sounds wunderbar!" You small minded insects (not everyone hear, but you know who im talking about)
@hanzotk i think that's right, but noone knew that he was gonna kill 6 millions of jews. yes they knew about his ideology but maybe not about the way he was planning to go.
kempff en.: "i'm a person who attacks... i tackle / engage things. and afterwards, i cannot repeat things. this is very difficult for me today / at the moment. don't you think? in the evening i am another man. maybe i have a few minutes to find the piano. and then i can really [play]. then this feeling is like [playing it] the first time." --- he uses the word "to attack", true. but this has very little to do with politics.
kempff: "je suis un homme d'attaque ... qui attaque une chose. et après je ne peux pas répéter une chose. c'est la difficulté pour moi aujourd'hui, n'est-ce pas? le soir je suis un autre homme. j'ai quelques minutes peut-être pour trouver le piano. et - und dann - je peux vraiment [jouer]. dann - ce sentiment c'est la première fois"
--- interpreting his 'french' is not easy, find my translation above.
First of all, this is a Beethoven Concert. What does a Nazi have anything to do with Beethoven.
Adolf Hitler was an opportunist who used strong arm tactics to bully many innocent Germans into silence. After WWI, the former Austria-Hungarian Empire like Germany was broke. Unemployment was high in Germany and elsewhere. Socialism with a German cultural character was the aspirin cure-all for any problem. The U.S had little voice in the League of Nations because of political back stabbing in the U.S
I absolutely adore Beethoven's solo piano works, and I just realized this sonata was influenced by Mozart's Fantasia in D minor and Sonata in C minor.
look in the backround, not a single stoner moved by a peice of genius reproduced, just a bunch of suits listening to good music... what would you rather?
So awesome. Funny my friends think its crazy that i listens to this type of music cuz im a huge Metal Head but I love it cuz there so much passion and emotion. I just think that if that much passion is put into your music you willl make great music regardless of the genre.
first of all what is 'nazism' and if it is what it obviously implies, then i think you are sorely mistaken, how could a facist beileave in equal evoloution? rather how could one who beleaves in equal species movement beileave in facism. the analogy dosnt work man! or does it? you tell me...
The point would be the survival of the fittest part, or as the nazist's interpreted it, survival of the strongest. It gave the nazists a pseudo scientific explanation for their "superiority of the aryan race" concept.
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are confused about.
first off Fascism is a system of government. that doesn't ascribe to any particular belief other than the complete merger of corporation and state. "Nazi" Is short for National Socialist. Not every german was a hate monger, imagine if the television or computer you sit in front of was pumping nothing but hateful lies and propaganda (oh it already does) you would soon come to identify yourself with these lies and if you disagreed with them you could be hauled off and shot.
im talking about the analogy metal is of classical, nazi socialism is not of darwinism, not in common reality at least, never said germans were hate mongers! but i just got it, tks tjavsify, the analogy is actually kind of good...lol
@TonyTwoTonez you are not crazy for listening to great music. I listen to Dimmu Borgmir, Annihiliator and Keith Jarrett and play Chopin, Beethoven and Monk on the piano. Nothing wrong with this ;)
@TonyTwoTonez I've wished to communicate this thought to so many of my friends and family who don't care for classical music. Yet for me it is where the best pleasures in life have been expressed. Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Chopin are gods.
@genopal1020 darn right...I play the piano, but my mom's always like "w/e...ur not good enough" whenever I talk about it...>.>... she just doesn't understand, which dirves me nuts...she keeps saying that she likes classical music, but then she sais something about me playing the piano which makes me think "you may like it, but you don't understand it AT ALL..."
@xItachisGFx Don't listen to your mum. You really don't need this negative "shit". You need to be mentored by someone positive. There are too many knockers in this world.
@TonyTwoTonez I've heard people say if the classical greats were born in this day and age they would probably listen to metal. I listen to metal as well and play piano, not that I'm great at it or anything.
@PicklesReallySuck If they were born in this day, they wouldn't be who they are, so it's a mockery of who they are to make speculation about it, particularly to say that they would want to create metal, which distorts melodic and harmonic features of music so much that one only needs a speck of intellect, a single brain cell working accurately, to create such music. Sorry, I'm being a little defensive, but I don't know how to compare the species of classical music to metal.
@PicklesReallySuck Biased...yes, but still it doesn't mean I'm wrong. My conviction is that Mozart, having been capable of writing his A minor Rondo, and Chopin having known the beauty in his 2nd movement of his Piano Concerto no.1 would find little inspiration, not even stimulation in music that actually tests the limits of the ear drums. Beethoven surely would resent any kind of music that help with deafness.
@genopal1020 I agree, Metal heads continue to compare metal to this beauty. Music take, rhythm, melody and harmony, Metal doesn't have all 3. people say that they also tell a story, well 1st, i can't hear what they are saying, cause they are screaming, and second if they want to tell a stroy, write a book, it doesn't mean its music.

what about Hitler's book Mein Kampf published years before he was appointed chancellor by Hindeburg and then took on the Presidency itself as well in 1933? Did he not make it clear how he felt about the Jews in that book which he wrote in Landsberg prison? Is that not part of history?

Just enjoy the music and shut up. Most Germans were forced into supporting hitler anyway it wasent " hey Hanz lets go kill some Jueden" "Ja Franz sounds wunderbar!" You small minded insects (not everyone hear, but you know who im talking about)

Last time I check, and I know it's true, the majority of Germany voted for Hitler based off his ideologies, methods and the ultimate goal.
it's not like he kept his plans in the dark either.
So yea, not all agreed but most of them did, at the time, to let Hitler do what he did the best.

@hanzotk i think that's right, but noone knew that he was gonna kill 6 millions of jews. yes they knew about his ideology but maybe not about the way he was planning to go.

kempff en.: "i'm a person who attacks... i tackle / engage things. and afterwards, i cannot repeat things. this is very difficult for me today / at the moment. don't you think? in the evening i am another man. maybe i have a few minutes to find the piano. and then i can really [play]. then this feeling is like [playing it] the first time." --- he uses the word "to attack", true. but this has very little to do with politics.

kempff: "je suis un homme d'attaque ... qui attaque une chose. et après je ne peux pas répéter une chose. c'est la difficulté pour moi aujourd'hui, n'est-ce pas? le soir je suis un autre homme. j'ai quelques minutes peut-être pour trouver le piano. et - und dann - je peux vraiment [jouer]. dann - ce sentiment c'est la première fois"
--- interpreting his 'french' is not easy, find my translation above.

First of all, this is a Beethoven Concert. What does a Nazi have anything to do with Beethoven.
Adolf Hitler was an opportunist who used strong arm tactics to bully many innocent Germans into silence. After WWI, the former Austria-Hungarian Empire like Germany was broke. Unemployment was high in Germany and elsewhere. Socialism with a German cultural character was the aspirin cure-all for any problem. The U.S had little voice in the League of Nations because of political back stabbing in the U.S

I absolutely adore Beethoven's solo piano works, and I just realized this sonata was influenced by Mozart's Fantasia in D minor and Sonata in C minor.

So awesome. Funny my friends think its crazy that i listens to this type of music cuz im a huge Metal Head but I love it cuz there so much passion and emotion. I just think that if that much passion is put into your music you willl make great music regardless of the genre.

Metal is to classical music as Nazism is to Darwinism.
ManicMindTrick 1 year ago
first of all what is 'nazism' and if it is what it obviously implies, then i think you are sorely mistaken, how could a facist beileave in equal evoloution? rather how could one who beleaves in equal species movement beileave in facism. the analogy dosnt work man! or does it? you tell me...
bloodshotcomedy 1 year ago
The point would be the survival of the fittest part, or as the nazist's interpreted it, survival of the strongest. It gave the nazists a pseudo scientific explanation for their "superiority of the aryan race" concept.
Sorry if I've misunderstood what you are confused about.

first off Fascism is a system of government. that doesn't ascribe to any particular belief other than the complete merger of corporation and state. "Nazi" Is short for National Socialist. Not every german was a hate monger, imagine if the television or computer you sit in front of was pumping nothing but hateful lies and propaganda (oh it already does) you would soon come to identify yourself with these lies and if you disagreed with them you could be hauled off and shot.

im talking about the analogy metal is of classical, nazi socialism is not of darwinism, not in common reality at least, never said germans were hate mongers! but i just got it, tks tjavsify, the analogy is actually kind of good...lol

@TonyTwoTonez I've wished to communicate this thought to so many of my friends and family who don't care for classical music. Yet for me it is where the best pleasures in life have been expressed. Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, and Chopin are gods.

@TonyTwoTonez I've heard people say if the classical greats were born in this day and age they would probably listen to metal. I listen to metal as well and play piano, not that I'm great at it or anything.
PicklesReallySuck 1 year ago
@PicklesReallySuck If they were born in this day, they wouldn't be who they are, so it's a mockery of who they are to make speculation about it, particularly to say that they would want to create metal, which distorts melodic and harmonic features of music so much that one only needs a speck of intellect, a single brain cell working accurately, to create such music. Sorry, I'm being a little defensive, but I don't know how to compare the species of classical music to metal.
genopal1020 1 year ago
@genopal1020
You obviously are biased against metal. I'm not talking about the metal that consists of 3 chords, there is much more complicated metal out there.
There is also classical music that isn't worth a shit as well. I do like more than I dislike though.
PicklesReallySuck 1 year ago
@PicklesReallySuck Biased...yes, but still it doesn't mean I'm wrong. My conviction is that Mozart, having been capable of writing his A minor Rondo, and Chopin having known the beauty in his 2nd movement of his Piano Concerto no.1 would find little inspiration, not even stimulation in music that actually tests the limits of the ear drums. Beethoven surely would resent any kind of music that help with deafness.
genopal1020 1 year ago
@genopal1020 I agree, Metal heads continue to compare metal to this beauty. Music take, rhythm, melody and harmony, Metal doesn't have all 3. people say that they also tell a story, well 1st, i can't hear what they are saying, cause they are screaming, and second if they want to tell a stroy, write a book, it doesn't mean its music.
