I never cease to be amazed at how utterly charming Beethoven's music can be, despite the seriousness of his more well known works, even after decades of listening and enjoying. Thanks András Schiff for your ever masterful renditions. Makes me want to try playing it again.

I am in love with Beethoven, especially this sonata. Now I have heard my favorite interpretation! Fantastic! Beautifully filmed and perfect recording!

[@michaelbrodsky1221]

A wonderful performance of the one of the most beautiful of the sonatas. Especially heartbreaking is that passionate noble unrestrainable ferocious conclusion which emerges from an ostensible leisureliness, from what appears to b a lazy ambling. Many thanks. Most grateful.

[@MichaelTLam]

Underrated sonata in my opinion. Deserves to be as famous as the one right before it. Also want to point out that I like Schiff’s tempo for Mvt II. It is Andante, not Larghississississimo.

The development section at 5:12 is just incredible and at 5:30 to 5:45 I found it hard to control myself and not explode to the max while playing lol. Truly epic music!!

Maravilloso Musico Genio ,muchas gracias Gran Artista !!!!

[@user-nw9np6yi7y]

Such a wondrous Severely Underated Piano Sonata!!! 😮

[@TRIHEDRAL]

Schiff's brings out voices I don't hear other pianists highlight, giving new life to this divine music. For example, the very last two chords in the video: most pianists play the highest line as the melody, G F#. While a very unusual and unique way to end a sonata, it still lacks the power of the full authentic cadence we expect. Schiff emphasizes the C# moving up to D, giving us the very ending we want. The G and F# sound almost like overtones. He has separated the strings from flutes just using very precise voice control!!!

[@katiesethna]

Excellently played !

[@cldavis33]

I forget why I clicked on this, something to do the technical playing to bottom lf they keys...saw this, and listened for a couple of minutes. And I teared up hard, not sure why, but this grabbed deep inside me just now. Sitting here crying. I'm embarrassed. I do play piano with a good teacher, and a music major, but this got me. BTW 1:44 minutes in and didn't realized that I was too deep now to stop.

Yep, he missed a couple of bars. Not a biggie though, this is a superb interpretation anyways.

[@ciararespect4296]

Silly lights around the piano detracting from the elegant surroundings. I thought at libraries you needed to be quiet?

[@igorcabrera7526]

Beethoven can be anywhere dude, and no one can do anything about it.

Probably not while they’re being used for filming, let a alone filming a musical performance. Talk about pedantic.

[@johnryskamp2943]

This is Beethoven refusing to let go of any idea, even if it is a mediocre one.

This is just a pastoral expression, the thankfulness of the miracle of nature.
