Dear Mr Huber... I am neither a musician nor a music critic... just an old lady who happens to appreciate classical piano, and who favors this piece so much she returns to it regularly. If there are "flaws" I don't know about them and don't care. As for your expression, I feel it is totally appropriate and the smile at the conclusion is very well earned. Please post more videos! (Can I put in a plea for some Chopin?)

[@Mr.E.A.]

You are so kind Dear Lady Sheryl. I only wanted to you thank you for your humble comment. It's nice to know that there are still good people in the world. And I’m so sorry about my broken English. 🌸 Goodbye.🌸

[@jessehooperjr]

Yeah...that "smile" was 'kick-ass'-as I found myself smiling, too!

[@mikelastname9444]

I think that the very consistent tempo may have been felt as 'unemotional' by some people, but to me made it feel more powerful and forceful, without sounding overly deliberate.

[@mysteriev7071]

It depends on what piece you are playing. If it has a "march" feel, like this piece then consistent tempo would be good. But if it very slow and emotional piece, like Barber - Adagio for strings, then it will sound shallow and robotic, like a midi player.

[@Bigblackpiano]

it isn't even that slow. Gould's version is actually slower.... :)

My favorite symphonic work of Beethoven. The melody is transcendent and timeless.

Love seeing and hearing my fav Beethoven…..thought the piano duet in the movie Bonfire of the Destiny playing this piece was great!,

[@jeffhayz7802]

the gradual progression up to the climax just feels extremely epic.

[@vxqce2098]

This song to most may be fit for the end of the world, where the villains won and all hope is lost. But I think it represents beauty. This beautiful piece represents beauty... and knowledge... seeing the world evolve in front of our eyes and flowers blooming in the sun...

@@PaulGruendlerBeau to me it conveys the feeling of doing something morally questionable for the benefit of everyone, and in front of those close to you. they know that what you did was right and inevitable, but your relationship with them may never recover.

[@BFDT-4]

Oh, this performance is divine. Right to the end with your smile and relaxation afterwards. What a salute to this work of Beethoven. Many thanks!

[@robertupcraft5687]

What a stunning, honest and unaffected performance. Found it by accident, what fortune? Totally generous and devoid of ego on the part of the pianist who only shows any sign of self indulgence with his understated smile at the end. Beautiful, thank you.

[@tjarsun]

Wow, this is now one of my favourites interpretations of this movement.

[@NickShields1]

I thought it was beautiful and honest playing. I really enjoyed it and noticed your smile at getting through it. Very well played.

[@Markwloomis]

It is one of best I've heard. The amount of work is obvious. Thank you

[@ChrisFerretti]

What a touching performance. This is my favorite Beethoven piece - I’ve only heard it in an orchestra - never heard it strictly on piano before. You beautifully brought it life. Thank you that. Look forward to hearing your next work. Keep going! You got this 🤜💥 +1 sub

[@yllienverdes]

Dude... that Liszt with his brilliant transcription. Can you imagine Liszt listening to the orchestral piece and thinking... "I'm gonna transcribe that for piano and it's gonna be just as powerful as an acoustic single-instrument piece" ? That's why this video is so special. It highlights two powerhouses: Beethoven and Liszt. I think that Balu der Bär knows this as he plays... with his little smile at the end of the performance.

Smile at the end says it all. Amazing job, thank you for this!

[@johnduke40]

I love how you use the sustain pedal on the 1st section. Most pianists don't, and it always sounds a little abrupt to me. Nice!

[@jackson-wm5jp]

[@tonihanemaayer9387]

Yes, intentionally ignoring what's written in the score. Very innovative...

[@jackson-wm5jp]

Thanks for the uploader. Beethovens inmense talent... wow! He is speaking about his life, about his feelings, about his thoughts, his beliefs, his victories, his failures. We all have thoughts, beliefs but most men are not gifted with musical prowes like beethoven.

[@harrisons62]

I’m learning this for me first sheet music piece, this is a great reference. I don’t know if I intend to do all the pages but I will try until I want to play something else.

[@helenverrill]

Thank you I have been looking for a beautifull played on piano version of this. I am in love with this piece of music. One day I will get there if it takes me years.

[@albericseydoux]

You playing is just perfect, and the steady tempo isn't really a problem. But when it comes to the part somewhere around 3:26, it's written "Marcatissimo", which means it should not be as soft as you play it. Nice job at playing it though!

[@parsataghizadeh9507]

Very beautiful

[@XenophonSoulis]

A magnificent piece played magnificently by a magnificent pianist. It's definitely harder than my level, but I will still try it...

Bereft of status but brimming with purpose, Gabriel gave the angels amassed at the gate of the auditorium one last message before leaving Heaven for the very last time. His arm outstretched, without a word, the people saw. In the silence the message rang out to the far ends of the cosmos.
