It needs more likes so that the red little bar disappears!

Other artists here on Youtube play this great piece much more interesting, personal, and engaging: Brendel, Richter, Gould, Anderszewski, Pollin to name a few.

Brilliant playing, just one small problem: the ending is cut off. Kinda sucks.

I'm learning this piece and I love that it''s not that well known.

[esembesem]

@qwertyasdyaln are you joking???^^:D

[MagicDolphinGO]

@esembesem it's well known among classical fans, but outside of that group there's probably not many people familiar with beethoven's late work besides the 9th symphony

[qwertyasdyaln]

@esembesem It isn't that well known compared to the pathetique or Appassionata.

Totally transporting. This man knows how to plumb the depths of Beethoven's soul..

Daniel Barenboim- has studied Beethoven and knew the entire 32 from the age of 12- this is a pretty phenomenal feat. What I like about his playing is that every pause is thought through.
