  • Not his 100% definite favorite, but it has been known that he had a special attachment to this one.

  • Yes, Richter's interpretations sound a bit mechanical to the uneducated year. He believed in not straying far from the written score. That's the way the man chose to do things, and he should be respected for it.

  • @truecrypt lol poor guy, he was translating straight from some other language. I hope.

  • @TomBarristerX His interpretations also sound quite mechanical to many an educated ear.

  • @brucelitow Are you sure? I know all of the Op. 2 sonatas are, but I can't find a reference on the net to this one.

  • This song really never gets old

    This is one of the only pieces I still play from last year

  • really hard to play despite how it may sound

  • @RabidCh Where did you see that?

  • unbeatable!

  • No, his earliest were dedicated to Haydn...this one is dedicated to the Countess Browne.

  • This is the sonata that Beethoven dedicated to Haydn, who was for a time his teacher.
