Thanks for your note mikejr1387--but you misunderstood my remark. Haydn DID admire this work but advised Beethoven against publication because he felt the audiences would not understand it. Remember this was Beethoven's first work with opus number.
Haydn was just giving a sage man's advice. No surprise that Beethoven didn't take it!
Wasn't it this trio that Haydn advised Beethoven not to publish, stirring a feud between them that caused Beethoven to abandon his studies w/ Haydn? Yes, i think you have your facts mixed up, sorry!
swanningaround go to other videos and fight with kids and children trying to listen to christmas music.. go check out maruah carey silent night and joy to the world.
I'm surprised you think this. Tovey says somewhere that when B. writes prestissimo it is important not to take it fast - this absolutely applies here. For an Opus 1 this piece is remarkably more than an adolescent romp, with many aspects of elegance and even a sort of nostalgia, all of which could easily get lost if it is rushed.
@buxter Agreed, also listen to how bad Kempf is - please tell me why people rate him as a great pianist?

Weird surroundings... and Szeryng hacks. Sorry, but it's true.

@claude69mama Fight with kids? I merely said that Mariah Carey is not for me the greatest human being that ever walked the planet. I stand by that.

Good call. The musicianship is really top notch, but the approach is very old school and not very historically informed.

I think it is just wonderful. The slower style, as you say, give the work a more pensive and introsepective quality.
