  • Walvirck--

    My own 2 cents, FWIW: I'm a jazz pianist who's also revered and worked up this Beethoven, and I completely agree with Schiff on the "boogie-woogie" nature of the third variation. I've always thought that its similarity to jazz is a misleading coincidence, and obscures the true nature of the variation, which is pure frantic godlike ecstasy.

    And I say this not because I reject jazz in any way! So this might not be evidence of Schiff disrespecting the wonderful art-form of jazz.

  • A Washington Postban tett nyilatkozata elfogadhatatlan!

    Lehet mérges valaki a hazájára személyes okokból de akár bizonyos történelmi helyzetek miatt is. De egy országról beszélünk, abban rengeteg különböző emberrel, akik ottmaradtak és küzdenek azért, hogy ott jobb legyen a saját életük, ne adj isten a közös jövőjük.

    Ezzel a nyilatkozattal egy ilyen ostoba, képmutató és korlátok nélküli világpolitikai helyzetben milliók életét és küzdelmét teszi még nehezebbé.

    Ez a felelősség és értelem hiánya!

  • He says full only legato ok??????

  • Bbot mangi i dontthinks so ........this us not jazz andrasschiff say beethoven aiund is nit boogi woogi

  • Probing analysis by a legendary virtuoso and educator

  • I just love the frenetic ecstasy of 2:33 onwards! Beethoven had the greatest musical imagination of them all, even if I still think Mozart was supreme.

  • "Ecstasy yes, boogie woogie, no". Totally agree!

  • Listesso Tempo People!!,..Nicee

  • Beethoven was so advanced in his musical thinking he revolutionized music twice: his heroic period (3nd & 5th Symphonies, Pathetique sonata, middle quartets) and his transcendental period (late piano sonatas and quartets, 9th Symphony, Missa Solemnis). I disagree with Schiff, I think Beethoven, now deaf, was uncovering musical possibilities so advanced of his musical age that he uncovered ragtime in op. 111.

  • @sallajo

    Schiff Andra's nem a haza'ja'ra me'rges, hanem a gazemberkre akik becstelenitik Magyarorsza'got.

    A muveszek felosse'ge kia'llni a nemes elveke'rt. Mint hetven e've Barto'k, Schiff a valo'di Magyarorsza'got szo'litotta meg.

  • én bojkottálom a müvész urat és mindenkit erre hívok fel,ha más dolgom nem lenne lehetetlenné is tenném,jobb,ha jó ideig nem jön haza,amig elfelejtik neki ezt a ballépését

  • @Mralibabarooibakkie Don't worry, it doesn't look like he'll have to worry about it much longer !
