Beethoven - Piano Sonata 19, Op.49, No.1 (Color-Coded Analysis)

[@NN-df7hl]

Love how Annie Fischer really emphasizes the differences in each section through tempo and accents. She makes this very early work (it's from the 1790's but given "new" opus #'s) sound almost like a later more mature work.
