Beethoven Andante favori, WoO 57

[@christiandelisoconductor75]

In the first 2 bars we can listen the name of Beethoven immortal beloved...Jo-se-phi-ne😊🎵🎶

Fabuloso, fantástica interpretacion

[@shodanart]

Anna, thank you for playing this as gentle as Beethoven probably would have. I say that because Beethoven had all sides to him power and gentleness of touch, serious and whimsy, darkness, melancholy, poignancy, the joy, pain and the bombast. I believe his favorite Andante I feel would be played as you are with nuances, sans the heavy-handed version on other interpretations. Just my preference. Yours is a joy. ❤️

[@kimberlycastillo7606]

Agree!

[@zarehdarakjian2476]

Anna, your harmonic chords are so soothing. Your successions of thirds and octaves so mesmerizing!

[@77HadassaH77]

However simple the tune was. Beethoven couldn’t stop playing it himself. He was obsessed with it and played it ever so often…..

[@kimberlycastillo7606]

It was for his Immortal Beloved, Josephine von Brunsvik. You can hear her name repeatedly played here. ❤

An artist who touches the soul of these works. Well done Anna!

[@thomasbecker-mitzlaff1143]

Perfekt, liebe Anna. Beethoven wäre voll des Lobes

[@cheesemcmuffinjr]

heard this on the radio and found it on here great piece

[@zarehdarakjian2476]

Now that I've also heard the excellent, one of a kind rendition sonata 32, by Beethoven... I got spoiled, I am afraid... I can't wait to hear sonata 31! Yes! Great Expectations!

[@Sabziran48]

Excellent

[@soavemusica]

Lovely, lyrical.

[@gbrinch]

YESSSSS!

[@zarehdarakjian2476]

6:35-6:41 6:42 - 6:50 Ah... the sound of silence! how wonderful it sounds!

[@zarehdarakjian2476]

5:44 - 6:15 impeccable technique!

[@delroyroberts9244]

A fine performance, Anna; but why did you omit the Bb section repeats?🤔

[@michaelzapf1]

I agree. What a pity she left out the repeats. Beethoven is dancing a minuet with Josephine here, and minuet parts need to be repeated. Without the repeats the section has lost its balance.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

She holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Beethoven

[@lesvallsveterinari9743]

Uauuu

[@michaelzapf1]

Anna Dmytrenko ist omitting the repeats of bars 82-89 and 90-97. Beethoven clearly wanted them repeated, and why? Because those two 8-bar phrases constitute a minuet (Wikipedia: "the minuet was usually in binary form, with two repeated sections of usually eight bars each."). My interpretation is that Beethoven's imagination is that of a dance with Josephine, and this dance needs the repeats of the typical II:A:II II:B:II form. Omitting them means ignoring the composer's intention, and that ruins an otherwise very sensible interpretation.

[@gbrinch]

having played this with the repeats they are sorely missing! otherwise the playing and expression is wonderful!

[@c08lam]

Actually it is not quite good performance, the session has been broken down and it is not successive.

[@rerus-officialchannel1060]

chopin stole his melody

[@nerrdinho]

Which piece of Chopin’s do you hear this melody in?

[@sebastian-benedictflore]

​@@nerrdinhoDitto, I want to know what OP is hearing

[@ultimateconstruction]

Chopin was so good at stealing stuff from greater composers. I wish he was as good at composing music.
