  • This song sums up Beethoven's life

  • This limited application of dance - in Serkin's facial expressions and sways - is by no means an insignificant one. He embodies in his performance - and in the display of his own experience of the music - the gradual shift from pain, defeat and resignation to triumph, exultation, ecstatic brotherhood and liberation that this piece - and so many of Beethoven's slow theme and variations movements - concerns.

  • wo so emotional...

  • Emocionante. Um dos grandes momentos da inspiração humana.

  • Dripping snot at 0:45.

  • no hay palabras para esto. sólo las mismas notas dibujadas serían el modo de expresar el más profundo agradecimiento al genio

  • @musicalidea As a matter of fact, I do! Lol, Beethoven actually composed three piano sonatas when he was younger. The "WoO" sonatas.

  • @OrangeSodaKing But he only wrote 32 sonatas! lol - do you have the missing 3 in your cupboard?

  • @felipilloo1984

    what a fantastic description. I have listened to this many times and always struggle to put into words what it makes me feel. That is perhaps the greatest testament to Beethoven's late works, even 200 years later they still defy description in mere words. And I imagine this will forever remain the case. I'm not a religious person, but if I was I would say that my God was born in 1770, and died in 1827.

  • I love Beethoven totally goes into swing and boogie woogie through this movement! :) But seriously, this is a masterpieces, maybe my favorite of the 35.
