András Schiff - Sonata No.3 in C, Op.2/3 - Beethoven Lecture-Recitals

András Schiff - Beethoven Lecture-Recitals
Wigmore Hall (London, UK), 2004-06
András Schiff last performed the complete Beethoven piano sonatas at Wigmore Hall from 2004-06 to overwhelming critical acclaim, with the editor of the Guardian, Alan Rusbridger, describing one particular performance as ‘a riveting mixture of erudition, analysis, passion, wit and memory’.
On the day before each of the eight recitals in the series, the world-renowned pianist, pedagogue and lecturer gave a lecture-recital in which he explored the works to be performed. Deeply engaging and insightful, these thought-provoking lecture-recitals, recorded live at the Hall, are available below as eight audio lecture-recitals.

LECTURE NOTES: -------------1st movt: sonata allegro--------------- 1. incorporates a candenza, which is common in concertos. 2. @5:55 development session that looks forward to the Emperor Concerto, Op.73. 3. @7:24 Beethoven elaborate the motif at the beginning, with Sforzando 4. @8:59 operatic parody --------------2nd movt: rondo(A-B-A-B-A-coda)----------------- 5. Beethoven asks rhetorical question after question that always ends on the same harmony (but you don't notice due to Beethoven's genius): tonic - dominant, 4 times 6. @12:10 a feminine cadence 7. @12:50 B session looks back to Bach. Like an organ prelude. 8. @14:56 same motif in Fortissimo outburst. One can hear the unfinish symphony of Schubert. --------------3rd movt: scherzo------------ 9. @16:56 Haydnesk, Beethoven conceals the return. 10. @18:48 coda --------------4th movt: rondo-------------- 11.@20:24 Brahmsian's connection

I like when Schiff points out parallels to earlier works where either Beethoven was inspired by others or others were inspired by him. Here the unfinished symphony by Schubert

[@militaryandemergencyservic3286]

i like these lectures. Like the Richter version of this piece - live version...

Hahaha the comment on the coughing at 6:58

[@man0sticks]

Schiff repeatedly says parallel when he should say relative. Here, for example, he refers to E minor as the parallel key to G major. It’s the relative minor.

Give him a break. He speaks many languages in addition to his Hungarian. How many languages do YOU speak??

17:30 So many pianists ignore this sforzando and it is so sad
