  • Hear the whole sonata, played by Irena, so that you can hear this movement in context. It's all on YouTube. Her fine account of the long slow movement will entrance any sensitive listener.

  • I'd have to disagree. She's totally at ease in my view. A blind man wouldn't mind at all uh? Regards.

  • I love her interpretation of this entire sonata. She glides through it by making at cohesive emotionally. Even though each movement is a different mood she doesn't forget things that have just happened or forget to anticipate what's coming appropriately... Just like we do in real life.

    Now on to that piano... The b above middle c is a bit detuned (not terribly) It has that distracting "twang" in comparison to the other pitches in that register.

  • @Haeronthegreat What does it have to do with my comment on the interpretation? In later works Beethoven replaced the mE(!)nuett (says so in the music) by a scherzo. But still it is the same gestus you have to reach in it, energic and fresh, and this was the thing I missed by Koblar.

  • @gwozdezzz Actually, it is a minuet. Says so in the music.

  • And it is muuuch to slow in my opinion.

  • oh no... this movement is... no... nooooo..

    this is definitly NOT the right feeling. This is not a baroque menuetto... After the DEATH in the 2. movement this has to be LIGHT, BRIGHT and completely... animato... I really don't like this romantic interpretaions of beethoven's scherzo's

  • Not perfect!!

  • Man, I need to buy her DVD, anybody know where I can buy it?

  • I've seen all Irena's videos just to probe what you say. Her technique is a little bit rigide, but that's not a problem for her because she has a very strong hands, you may notice that in her forearm and the she moves her fingers. She has much control of her hand. Her wrist is a little bit up sometimes. I think you're confused, her shoulders are not high, its her dress. Somtimes she gets tense, but is not to much. Her problem for me is her excessive rubato in Beethoven, a little bit out of style

  • brilliant and ingenious! very well done!

  • yeah.. her hand movements just seem so elegant and beautiful. but guess everyone has their own teachers n views
