Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 8

My son is playing the 1st movement:
Grave: allegro di molto e con brio
Ludwig van Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 8 in C Minor, op. 13 was titled "Pathétique" by Beethoven himself. It was published in 1799, though written the year before, when the composer was 27 years old. Beethoven dedicated the work to his friend Prince Karl von Lichnowsky.

The "Pathétique" Sonata is perhaps the earliest of Beethoven's compositions to achieve widespread and enduring popularity. It is widely represented on the concert programs and recordings of professional pianists.

The work takes approximately 19 minutes to perform.
Movements
The sonata is comprised of three movements:

Grave: allegro di molto e con brio
Adagio: cantabile
Rondo: allegro

fantastic but how do you know it off by heart! (use the pedal at 1:12 for those short phrases)

This is my favourite of all his sonatas as well

[ulsbolde89]

You should be very proud of your son then.

Where is the quality of the music?? You play good but i think you can play better by focusing the important part of the song!  There are many part you skip and make the music sound not the best

Great effort ! It's so hard ... I tried it once but I never made it.. it's a great pile of difficult. But it's a wonderfull piece ! so congratulations on your achievement !

Very well played, congratulations!. This Beethoven's sonata is not only one of the most beautiful (in my opinion), but also one of the deepest, strong and difficult to interpret correctly. But you have done well, go ahead with your love for the piano.

Is it my idea or I sensed some Arrau influence your interpretation?

[rogeriodonatto]

very very good...go on and turn your dreams into reality ....congratulations...

@FThwaiting99 When you watch a very sad movie, and you cry, does it mean that you don't want to watch the movie? Are you smiling all the time while checking out youtube? Doubt it.
