lol I only looked up this video to hear what saoirse ronan has apparently learned on piano after only 12 weeks of lessons. :D

How on earth did Saoirse Ronan master this in 12 weeks with no previous piano lessons??

[meabhyxxx]

@lilywhitey89 Ya I find that hard to believe too. But is this definitely the piece she is after learning ??

[RavingScience]

@lilywhitey89 She really masters this?! Maybe she's not actually playing this movement, maybe she learned how to play the 2nd movement which is as Adagio... Anyway, 3 months working in this piano sonata. That's tough!

Sin duda una de las más bellas sonatas de Beethoven. La interpretación de Vestard es realmente excelente, sin embargo es, para mi gusto, algo apresurada... los maestros antiguos obtienen mucho más "sabor", profundidad y también belleza de esta maravillosa composición. Lógicamente él se deja llevar un poco por su juventud y da rienda suelta a su impetuosidad, pero Beethoven siempre se disfruta mejor a un tempo más calmo. Los beethovenianos clásicos como Arrau comprendían perfectamente esto.
