Sorry, but it is a very poor interpretation :(

Listen Karajan edition 1963, it is the best of all time.

[mozpiano2]

@MegaDocalex I listened to the 1963 Karajan version once and I personally didn't like it that much to be honest.

[MasterMorty]

oh no, they played it in c# minor :( it ruins the mood all together

[mozpiano2]

@MasterMorty The A is tuned to 430 Hz in this recording.

Thank god, allah, jesus, buddha, joseph smith, moses, abraham, adam, and satan for allowing Beethoven to live long enough to write this piece.

[roydoncrossing]

There is a strange peace when one can listen to music like this without having a video to watch and just get lost in the music-something rarely possible with modern music!

[bloopnation]

@af796 movements.

[MasterMorty]

@Thinker2112 Lol. nice to know that I have a fellow absolute pitch comrade :)

[MasterMorty]

@mozpiano2 wait, if 430 is normal, then I seem to be hearing it in C# minor. (I have perfect pitch, so trust me on this one.)

[Thinker2112]

@MasterMorty I have absolute pitch, and it used to drive me crazy to listen to period-instrument performances because the pitch was lower. Then I realized that I liked the period performances better than the "standard" ones, and I learned to like the lower pitch.

@mechpebbles I just read the crap of a loser. Be a man, takes you and recognize your own ignorance

[mechpebbles]

@MegaDocalex

Ahh...more words from the semi-literate with unsound semantics and syntax. I would respond if I knew what you meant. Takes too much mental powers to decipher the meaning of your pidgin English. I shall waste no more time trading insults with an immatured, ill-bred, unlearned yet arrogant being.

[MegaDocalex]

@MegaDocalex So, more seriously, you don't have any musical education. I did one year at conservatory, not you, you are just an amateur and you talk like it. You don't know what is music... You think you know, But you are only a limited :))))))

[MegaDocalex]

@mechpebbles LOL can you finally tell us what it means for you ignorance! We are all very eager to learn of your great knowledge. Monseigneur the wise old man!

[mechpebbles]

@MegaDocalex

Ignorance coupled with a super-ego is indeed serious... a serious disability. And what's with the English? Go improve on your pidgin English before making another pathetic attempt to post.

@MegaDocalex

Wow, and here's the guy who tells me not to insult him.
