Beethoven op.111 on fortepiano Graf -Jörg Demus, 1970
In this rare 1970 live recording, made in Bonn to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's birth, Austrian pianist Jorg Demus performs on Beethoven's Graf piano the second movement of Sonata no. 32, Op. 111 in C minor. This video is created from the double LP shown above, issued in 1983 by the Musical Heritage Society. Extensive notes, penned by Demus, about the Graf are included in this video.
With unexpressable joy and satisfaction some minutes ago I received the second part of Sonata op 111 of Ludwig van Beethoven uploaded in the USA by David Hertzberg from classicvinyl.biz. after some months of waiting and hoping due to youtube restrictions to post posts over 15 minutes on ordinary accounts.
Today I asked him once more how to find a solution to post it and he reacted kindly and - immediately.
So here is complete op. 111 by Jörg Demus 1970 at Bonn on Beethovens Graf
As op. 111 is my favorite Beethoven Sonata I would like to introduce a separate post on it here, though you find the same piece although in the article about Beethovens pianos ...
I would like to thank David to share this super-rare treasure
David, thank you again and again!
pianist Brier, Tom
Tom Brier was born in October, 1971 in Oakdale, California, a farming community in the Great Central Valley south of Sacramento. When he was four, his parents bought an old Schubert mechanical player piano, and soon he was picking out tunes he heard on the piano rolls. Aware that their son had talent, his parents enrolled him with a local piano teacher when he was five, and in a short time he was composing and notating his own music.. He composed over two dozen rags by the age of eleven.In 1985 he came to the attention of Larry Applegate, then the president of the Sacramento Ragtime Society. Tom was invited to play at a meeting and immediately blew everyone away with his aggressive and articulate renderings of the ragtime classics. But what amazed everyone was his depth of understanding of the early ragtime styles. His own compositions already embodied many of the subtleties of ragtime, yet were remarkably original - and all this when he was only fourteen years old. Unbelievably, he has only gotten better since then. His mastery of the ragtime idiom has matured over a few short years. Now his signature rapid-fire left hand runs have been tempered by a new attention to the inner harmonies and voicings of ragtime. This sensitivity is seen in his own compositions which number well over 100. He has released two CDs: Rising Star in 1994 and Generic in 1997. He began appearing as a featured performer at the West Coast Ragtime Festival and other ragtime festivals right out of high school. Tom works as a programmer/analyst. When not tapping the computer keyboard at work, he''s at home pounding on the piano keyboard, working up a new rag, transcribing handwritten scores or piano rolls, or busily engaged in a variety of music recording projects.
Text on Tom Brier from "Jazz by Mail"
So I would like to say "Thank you" to anybody recording and posting some events so those us who love rather distant have opportunity at least have some conserved information on the beautiful and amazing performances in the country of the origin of ragtime.
