nuanced iterations was beethoven's thing. Its a part of his style, to burn the themes into the listener's mind by repeating the over and over again until they haunt you in the way they must have haunted him. the pinnacle is allegretto in the 7th symphony, a paragon of his style. if you want a feel for beethoven that symphony and this sonata are it.

sincere, elegant sadness...I guess at this point Beethoven finally gave up...
-
one of the BEST music written EVER!!!
-
This piece has some good ideas but to me it seems a bit formalistic, repetitive and somewhat shallow ( limited range of emotions that do not evolve/develop enough instead just repeating round and round... ). I guess Beethoven was on the brink of Romanticism held back by old traditions and forms...

This one hear is the perfect rendition..that left hand with the theme..such gravity plus the auxiliary note on the right hand right after..Perfect..
-
For me Richter adopts an ideal tempo, often this mvt is rushed (Allegretto) by lesser pianists.

@assumedanyone what was it... a piano playing cat? beethoven was a human, and that's great! makes me proud to be human.

This is an absolutely flawless rendition of my favorite movement from a Beethoven Piano Sonata: perfect tempo, perfect touch, perfect movement, perfect dynamics. It is amazing to me how many pianists miss the mark with this movement, even some great ones! Another great performance is the first Wilhelm Backhaus mono version on Decca/London.
