Beethoven: Sonata No.19 G Minor Op49. No1

[Dante121892]

This came on wttw11?? Oh, goodness gracious! If only I knew before... u_u

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

anybody else think this guy looks similar to billy joel?

[adileve15]

i play th 1st part ... not so difficult but wonderful

[iampolarbearfood]

2:10



[duarteinacan]

Also, I think the second movement is too fast, I like it fast but not so much. Of course all of these are style opinions, technically he's perfect and flawless.

[duarteinacan]

Too much pedal in my humble opinion. I played this for my 3rd year examination in the Nationa Conservatory and liked to interpret it in a lighter version, with more staccato and not so much pedal.

[moruku88]

Barenboim is such an inspiration

[co0ky998]

I'm playing this sonata, but i think i would never gonna play like this. This is amazing!

[SqueezeMyLemonBabe]

@co0ky998 you can only play like this if you tell yourself that you can do it.

If you cut yourself short before you even attempt, then how can you ever over-achieve?

[galaxian06]

Wonderful

[nikagurieli]

Diese Sonate habe ich gespielt als ich 5. klasse besuchte. Sie gefallt mir wirklich

sehr.



[landonetfrancaise]

Just so you're aware, this is actually Op.49 No.1 and No.2 There's a point where he pauses and then the melody gets much lighter and jumpier, that is the beginning of the second movement.

[Cooller1993]

@landonetfrancaise no, its the second movement of no.1

[Sword1479]

@landonetfrancaise No, Op.49 No. 2 is a different sonata.

[DJeglele]

I can play like this man......

[Jorrrful]

I don't think OriginalBasaliskos will read this because he said it 9 months ago, but to answer it: This is from a serie of concerts where he plays ALL 32 Beetohoven sonata's. Thats why he is playing this easier sonata and that is why is it such a large audience.

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@Jorrrful Haha, I just read it. But I found that out a while ago after seeing that all 32 had been recorded and uploaded on Youtube like this. Thank you though.

[maximentelis]

I can play it!!! And I know some english,but it is difficult to me to speak english!I know russian language very good!

[TheSuperRocketman]

this guy plays it so fast.

[elmafioso77]

@TheSuperRocketman dont fuck, he's the best pianist!!

[binnyficate]

@TheSuperRocketman It's a fast piece. That's why Beethoven chose to play this in his legendary piano-duel versus Gelinek.

[MultiPianoFreak]

i think the andante part is to fast, but the rest amazing!

[OriginalBasaliskos]

Why is there such a large audience? xD The opus 49 sonatas are very easy.

[Avicularius]

@OriginalBasaliskos

so what?

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@Avicularius I know, it doesn't really matter, but I just thought it was weird because it's not typically something one would play for a concert given the ease of the sonatas.

[keetner]

@OriginalBasaliskos

Could be a show case of many other pieces....

People don't come in to just watch one thing...

[Totennebel]

@OriginalBasaliskos

Even the Bach inventions are played in concerts.

Music is much more than rushing difficult pieces mechanically.

[Selendomono]

@OriginalBasaliskos It's a better musician who plays technically easier pieces better than one who plays technically challenging ones badly

[LunaBabenko]

I

t's beautiful. I love this interpretation!!!

[irinouli101]

i'm learning it right now.......... it is so amazing

[BoBcatPoPdog]

I learnt it, it's so amazing

[guccirushgirl]

hypnotic....

[moxsmoxs7]

beautifull....

[jooz2]

Can someone tell me how he pedals at the forte part with the trillers right after he repeted the first part? I cant figure it out.

[ExplicitMissy]

Probably to improve your technique or practice you for Bach? Handel?

This piece DEFINITELY has pedal. Beethoven and other similar artists usually have pedal since they are romantic pianists. Chopin and Liszt are other good examples.

[MangaLover210]

Yes, I know this piece haves pedals,

It was only no pedals at the forte part with trillers after t repeted the fist part.But maybe it is pedals at that part too i dont know.

( sorry if my english is bad)

[NagareboshiAitoshuu]

@ExplicitMissy Hmm...I have the sheet music for this piece, but there are no pedal markings at all, however, there are a lot of slurs. Just saying...

[mizesama0902]

im learning this song very good song~1

[skittycutiegirl]

so beautiful.........

[MangaLover210]

Kompositören av det här stycket heter Ludwig van Beethoven, det här är hans nittonde sonat och pianisten som spelar stycket heter Daniel Barenboim. Beethoven föddes sjuttonhundrasjuttio och dog artontjugiosju, vilket betyder att han levde för väldigt länge sedan,dessutom är det här en sonata och inte en synfonata vilket inte existerar.

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

Old school, hip hop!

.....

Okay, I'm joking. A lot depends not so much upon your school but upon your teachers there. It also depends upon the instrument you want to learn. I assume that you're talking about piano. Look up the great pianists and see where they went to school.

I like the Curtis Institute, Manhattan School, Julliard, Royal Conservatory (Londres), Moscow and Tchaikovsky in Russia, that one in Hungary. But I'm not expert.

[MangaLover210]

Firstt i gonna learn this song, then i gonna play this song as good as he !! * u*

[violin614]

He plays it not so sensitively and sweetly as would be good.

[bitchinXisXmyXsport]

the chandelier in the beginning reminds me of the one from the phantom of the opera. this is sooo good too, i wish i could play like this

[CarolinaGurl99]

so beautiful and moving i want to play like that one day

[dimasjequeri]

O Maestro Barenboim é, certamente, uma referência obrigatória para todos que amam a música pianistica assim como eu. Ele é um professor para todos nós. Por isso, tudo que vem de seu trabalho é para nól um presente e uma aula.

[loradeari]

i am practising sonata no.19 i love it`s so nice

[whomakemefeel]

the beginnig so darker frankly the world which he live damn dark for that he look for light and asking the love in other side not thats side which we all know it and he use with that smooth material cos he so sensitive in this matter not as always in rebel mood but in second movement everything change he such dream and deeply like it

[lizlil21891]

i swear, did he remember all of beethovens sonatas and play them all at once!!! he was playing the moonlight sonatas at the same theater and everything

[MangaLover210]

it´s not so difficult to remeber pieces, for me it is way more difficult to look at notes the same time i am playing, well i can´t not good at reading notes at all so for me it is easier too remeber all the pieces in my head.

[filopaa1990]

for me too.. maybe we should practice both in reading the scores.. ;)

[MangaLover210]

Hihi.. yeah !!:D

[PureInnocencez]

i love the chandelier in the video...

[mentallyerotic]

Chubby hands. Haha

[musiczQT5]

Lmao. Nice notation.

Anyway, love how he played it.

♥

[surfish13]

LOL

I know..i realized at the start, too

[Ninjakatze]

(autsch... Das ist nicht Beethoven. Wenn die Frage ernst gemeint war...)

I like that version! It's such a nice playing!

[Effrafax09]

Ist das wirklich Bethovgen der da spielt?

Geile Synfonate. 5/5

[Shyrk]

Der Komponist heißt des Stücks heißt Beethoven, das hier ist die 19. Sonate von ihm und der Pianist der hier spielt heißt Daniel Barenboim. Beethoven hat von 1770 bis 1827 gelebt, das heißt er ist schon lange tot.

Und es heißt Sonate, nicht Synfonate.

[MangaLover210]

@Shyrk can you please write the same thing at english??because I dont understand a word @_@

( sorry if my english not good!!)

[Shyrk]

I said:

The composer of the piece is Beethoven, this is his 19th Sonata and the pianist playing is named Daniel Barenboim. Beethoven lived from 1770 until 1827, which means he died a long time ago, and this is a Sonata not a Synfonata which doesn't exist.

[russia147]

thats how i played that peice like 4 months ago, but im sad i forgot it :(

[ratzr2cool]

he played beautifully. this is such a pretty song! :)

[Mrquez]

I just prefer to enjoy the beauty of music instead of claiming on defects too much. I love this performance, surely there are lots better, even played by Barenboim himself, but I think some of the comments in here are exaggeratedly "finetuned".

[GilgameshFFpianobuff]

To much Sustain. I also think it was slightly too slow.

[ExplicitMissy]

Thats how its supposed to be played, and each pianist has his own take on their music. I mean, without their own style, people would get bored and wouldn't care who they watched it from. Some people think his way is briliant. I may not, and you may not, but we should respect other's decisions.

[speedcube123]

the beginning after the repeat wasn't pedaled correctly, the notes blurred too much.

[paulabrett]

Just beautiful and so inspiring! I vow to finish this piece real soon.

[smithsherman]

In recent decades there has been an overdue search

to find a new approach to Beethoven.The solution

most have pursued is so beautiful,so refined,and

so tasteful,that it sounds like Mozart on Quaaludes.

The new "Beetzart" just isn't compelling.

One may refine something to the extent that one

simply loses the essence.

[twinkledenoyo]

Shut up lourak. Before criticizing you better play better than Barenboim 1st.

[liszt85]

If that were true, musicologists and other people would run out of jobs :P

[brucesan]

I love this sonata. I play tempest, moonlight and les adieux aswell, but this is my favourite to play.

[scottbos68]

appassionata is my fave

[lourak]

Too much pedal - there is a blurring of sonorities where it doesn't belong. Also a dynamic uneveness - some notes just stick out.

[taembelc08]

i agree with most of what you said...but i still like this a lot

[funauta]

Great to see D.B is playing student sonata. Thank you.
