Daniel Barenboim - Moonlight sonata - 2ºmov Allegretto

[CandyLoveSteven]

i prefer 2nd movement !! this has no tune :xx 1st is sad and slow it's perfect!

[ivymabel]

IMPECABLE !!!! ڰ✿ڰ✿ڿ✿ڰ✿ڿ

[kriteon]

i prefer this movement over the other two...so beautiful its unlike anything else beethoven has ever written

[CheeseBoyz]

@kriteon That's rather underhanded. When you create multiple masterpieces, and reach the level of popularity his music has, then you may say that the rest of his pieces aren't beautiful.

[kriteon]

@CheeseBoyz i can say whatever the fuck i want who are you?

[kalonice100]

Realmente maravilloso !!!

[ophira1]

people are so violent - 'kill yourself' - what the hell is the point of such a comment ? no wonder this world looks the way it does ...

[APRCVG188]

This is better than Kempff

[toomuchmoretolearn]

Sorry PauuLiiZz, at 17 obviously you do not have the experience, musicality and maturity of a 65 year old genious.

[Nintendogene]

Like how the first movement is about 8 minutes, the third is 7 minutes and the second is about 2 minutes...

[TheLovelyPiano]

He plays this beautifully.  However, this is not a beautiful piece. Shouldn't it have just a tad more scherzo? A little more lilt would make this a perfect performance. But it's still very good.

[timsaxstanfield]

@TheLovelyPiano thats the point loveley piano. He has deliberately taken it slower than Kempf and all the others because he believes it should be at this tempo. If you want it faster listen to Kempf. I know which one I prefer.

[augustinecool]

dunno y i juz like mvt 1..and mvt3

[4028814]

lool.. same feeling ^_^

[amantdemusique18]

nice!

[9ballalex]

i love moonlight sonata at all..... mvt1 mvt2 and mvt3

[arTToxcz]

I think its just about if you enjoy and feel the music you want to learn. If you like it, it should be easy.

[superjam18]

is this easy to play for someone that's been playing for 5 years?

[airplanedude550]

It's isn't that hard. The 2nd movement is often understated because of the fame of the other two movements, but nice nonetheless.

[hunterbender]

sure! I've been playing for two years and I memorized this in a month. Not as good as this pianist tho T.T

[4028814]

it is not hard at all, 2mvt.!

i played violin for 3 years at the age of 20..(i'm going back to it soon, DV)..anyways, i learnt, self-learning, the first movement of this piece in only 4-5 months! and as arTToxcz said, you like it, you learnt it so easy.. it is not hard at all! i love MLS 1st mvt. since i was a little girl.. and i could teach myself what is already in my heart..i applied it with my fingers+practice! ;-)

[Iliketorave1]

@4028814

5 Months is nothing to brag about for learning 1st movement, I learnt it after 2 weeks to play, (obviously longer to work on my interpretation I'm constantly finding new things), anyway that was after playing piano for 2 1/2 months

[4028814]

well good.. seems you had a lot of time in comparison with a violinist :-p

[keenboy1310]

@Iliketorave1 Learning Beethoven in a matter of weeks is nothing to brag about either. The sheer level of emotion put into composing a piece like the moonlight sonata should be allowed to develop in a performer's playing. A person cannot fully play a piece (especially Beethoven) until it is within them, not only in their minds, but also in their hearts. It is only then that the beauty and deep complexity of his music can be expressed.

[jaschaheifetz87]

El que dice que es mediocre que intente tocar el piano.Daniel es un gran musico

[maxhansendk]

Worse then mediocre playing...

Sorry Barenboim...But you have no place among great piano players.

[tfman15]

You're a nobody, maxhansendk. You don't know a great pianist when you see one.

[maxhansendk]

I consider Josef Hofmann the greatest of all time piano players! So do most professional collegues like Sergej Rachmaninov...

Claudio Arrau is second on my list. Rachmaninov is third.

Then comes players like Glenn Gould, Emil Gilels and Martha Argerich...

There are probably hundreds of "unheard piano talents"Extraordinaire..."

Barenboim is NOT!! among them...

[tfman15]

Mhmm...that's all cool, but what does that have to do with artists live and well today like Barenboim? I wasn't dissing others like Argerich (the only living one you mentioned). Barenboim isn't "unheard of." Of course the others you mentioned are great. That's no grounds to say Daniel Barenboim, a respected musician, is "worse than mediocre," because in fact he is excellent. It's hard to have an opinion saying he's not. You may not enjoy him as much but he's still a great pianist .

[APRCVG188]

Shut up.

[ingettorix]

@maxhansendk It was useful to see the capital letters and exclamation marks on NOT!! because I wouldn't have understood the word without that help. Hope you don't play this very gentle movement the way you write. This is a beautiful piece, beautifully played, and the only thing I hear is the emotion and the structure perfectly entwined. That's the sign of a great artist, when player and composer become one.

[APRCVG188]

I GIVE UP! I BLOCK U!

[GenQuietRiot]

i liked it

[MatteMacPiano]

obviously he uses it..

[elisdagbok]

is barenboim using pedal or?

[shaddowrouge]

i think you should use the pedal

[godXofXpath]

He is (look at his legs), however, Beethoven specifically wrote on this piece to use as little to no pedal throughout the entire piece. Though Barenboim uses the pedal, he uses it sparingly,so I really love his interpretation!

[elisdagbok]

gaah, aint strange why it listen so diffrent. just cant make to hear any pedal.

[brentbanaagbaab]

this piece is like a minuet... right???

[Trazom89]

but..he is jewish!?

[PauuLiiZz]

Daniel Barenboim is the best piano player that i've ever heard...he's 65 and play like he's got 17

[Chopinco]

i agree a lot but ive never seen a 17 y/o playing like Barenboim :P

[l1ghtmaster]

@PauuLiiZz teenage freshness ? :))

[xXwaveXxdat]

@PauuLiiZz sry i can't stand that. HE DOES NOT PLAY LIKE HE'S GOT 17!!!!!!!!!

He plays with the experience of a man, who got more to know in his life then the tiny unexperienced less of skill from a 17 year old child.

[PauuLiiZz]

@xXwaveXxdat I ment that he plays with the energy and the joy of a 17 Y.O. kid. Of course that his tecnique is only reachable with a lot of time and study...

[wault511]

It's so fantastic！！！Thank you for sharing！

[Elcomunisto]

you are pro

[sarah143t]

i like daniel's playing, but i must say , that in this piece there r some passages he have played " by note " with violence and this piece is supposed to be quiet generaly .... i liked him better in the 3rd movement.... however, he is still an incredible piano player .... :)

[sarah143t]

i know he's better than me... i adore daniel's playing , im just saying that the  3rd movement touched me a lot, but this one didnt.

[Heru1805]

And by the way, where is it exactly that it touched you?

[elisdagbok]

it touched her feelings like it did with me

[FiatObscuritas]

@sarah143t I'm agree with you, i think he plays it with much more feeling than a real presto & agitato played

[raoulhery]

@sarah143t yeah!! the first and the 3rd mvt are amazing!! this one is average

[shirchay]

daniel barenboim is amazing!!

i have videos in my account

[nbcs]

Can someone pleeease help me out. Theres a group called Bond and they have a song called Allegretto, does anyone know the original artist and what is the full name? I've been looking for years and I can't seem to find it. Please help, anybody is welcome to answer. Thank you all.

[Palkab]

Barenboim at Beethoven as you'd expect from him. True to the original, romantic style. Personally I think that's a good thing, though a little more "daring" in the dynamics or slight accents in the tempo sections might help an already great performance go through the roof :)

[LuisCaicedo]

I feel that if there is going to be any criticism, it should NOT be offensive whatsoever, this is a video of an amazing piano player, there are many others to play Moonlight sonata here on youtube and i'm sure that they'll please everyone, but people: don't criticise as hard as you do, just search some other piano palyers and thats it

[cathydoc2]

I like barenboim's interpretations of this and the moonlight; however I feel that the moonlight was performed at too great a speed and with less passion than possible; this movement is performed almost too slow and the bass in the Trio is not brought out sufficiently. Rock Beethoven

[SaxHero]

Um...this IS the "Moonlight". There are three different movements, but they're all the "Moonlight" Sonata. This is the second movement, as clearly described by the title...

[manonpiano]

Increible sentido de orquestacion, puedes oir una verdadera orquesta en la manera en que interpreta el movimiento, se me hacia aburrido este movimiento pero ahora veo un enfoque mas artistico a este movimiento.

[Faxtork]

hola oye yo veo todos los lunes master classes con daniel baren boim son super uenos

oye pregunto si tu te sabes los 3 Movimientos de la Moonlight es q si te sabes el tercero el del presto agitato ami me complica hacerla con las 2 manos osea con la mano izquierda xfa si sabes algo escribeme = vale adios

[smithsherman]

This has the "Allegretto' feel of a mechanized Rhinocerus in heat,chasing after a fly.Beethoven definitely would have recognized this...on LSD.

[mishaonbass]

Sweetie, if you're not a music critic, you should take to the art. If not, post YOUR interpretation.

Otherwise, be a dear and kill yourself. Mahalo.

[FredeGF]

damn that's stupidity, I hate the thing about that you can't criticize anything without being told to post your own video.. grow up, arse.

[Brahmsain]

Absolutely agree with you.

[liszt85]

You seem to be an expert on Beethoven and LSD! :P Very related fields indeed! Keep it up.. were you sexually abused as a child?
