Beautiful performance 🎉

[@b1i2l336]

So many comments are just plain ignorant here. One would think that the superb pianist doesn't even exist! This is a violin and PIANO Sonata, with the piano often taking the lead while the violinist merely accompanies. BOTH performers are magnificent, a real duo!

[@concretejunglecrypto844]

Yes, the piano is very often the one who first introduces new ideas in these classical sonatas, with the violin repeating or iterating on the dominant piano theme, and vice versa. Particularly in Mozart’s sonatas for violin and piano. People often forget these piano and violin sonatas are conversations with the total much greater than the sum of the individual parts. And also, people forget that with his two hands the pianist is in command of a full orchestra of tonal variety, whereas the violin mimics more of a soprano single voice.

[@solowcello]

Beethoven actually called it a sonata for piano and violin!

[@angelesevestre]

It’s a sonata for piano and violin!

[@roystewart4386]

One of Beethoven’s very melodieus compositions. A superb work of art.

[@WasemNator]

The violinist is outstanding

[@Chris-um3se]

Piano is beyond brilliant- I am crippled with envy !!! Violin is outrageous....tempting to wanna learn how to play the damn thing

[@Ryuu957]

Bethoven's amazing violin and piano playing is a true genius

[@felixnadarx]

I love this performance, it's so lightweight and playful, perfect. A great inspiration! Thanks Krzysztof and Colin!

[@ColinStone]

That is very kind of you: if you want something more "heavyweight" check out our Busoni/Respighi violin sonata disc now on most streaming services

[@b1i2l336]

Mr. Stone, your performance here is magnificent! You are supremely musical and technically accomplished. I can't remember when I've more enjoyed hearing a performance of this, thank you! I subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to hearing much more of your playing. I'm a professional musician myself, a pianist and voice coach.

[@365VillasDotCom]

A tour de force by any measure. I had a chance to see these two perform together in Harrow last night and they were amazing.

[@_blanding]

Marvellous performance!

[@carriewang6734]

it can't be more beautiful

[@darrenpursuingtruth2895]

I consider this to be a superb rendition of a glorious piece of music. Capturing the joy within the music without affectation or sentimentality. Just how Beethoven should be played.

[@annpallett6820]

Try starting from the last bar, then gradually work backwards. One or two bars at a time until you are starting closer and closer to the beginning. So often we practice from the beginning, and get tired or lose focus as we progress. This is a different focus. And as the first person said - practice.

[@peters3066]

Gorgeous playing!

[@jeffrobertson5864]

This is my favorite performance of this.

[@mushroomieloh6499]

Just how much of practice did they do before the performance?! Amazingly perfect, they played without any eye contact and it's like their body just know when to play the notes, when to pause... 😄 love this interpretion!

[@iksralquyuud]

+mushroomie loh Listening to the other's breathing is how it's done without looking, I think. Maybe Mr Stone could help us with this point.

Anyone have any tips for me? I'm learning the piano accompaniment and the day the piece will be performed is May 22nd. I'm having difficulty with it as I also have my own exams come up... I can't seem to find anytime to practice it! Help! T-T

[@iksralquyuud]

+Bella BTS Only practice makes (or brings close to) perfect.

[@cheyenneelizabeth6733]

+Bella BTS Practice it slowly and thoroughly work through mistakes. Since you're learning the Piano accompaniment, you should make sure you have the rhythm down very well. If you practice correctly, you shouldn't really have to spend a lot of time practicing it. Just make sure the practice counts and you'll be fine~ You can do it!~

[@GENIUSJVM]

I'm the violin part, I can improve a lot through listening. Listen and imitate, and you will get exactly the same outcome as the player, no longer need to spend bunches of time on reading those annoying scores lol. Seems too late but hope it helps.

such a brilliant piece but the piano is too loud in my opinion. or at least the piano is much brighter

[@dinyaradajania5137]

Daniel Pena I am sorry to state that your opinion regarding the piano being loud or brighter is totally wrong. I am a pianist myself an have played this piece a number of times and I find that the co ordination in always is absolutely perfect and the piece is brilliantly played by both the artists.

[@CruelLion7]

okay

[@thewirelessbrain9331]

+dinyar adajania could not have said it better myself! :)

[@mauricioduron3193]

Daniel Pena I concur. The David Oistrakh/Lev Oborin would seem to strike a suitable balance. And their performance is nothing to sneer at, either.

[@ketelsuw]

[@huqiao]

Piano is too loud, they should have closed the lid a bit...

[@markkelly6515]

I disagree. Beethoven wrote this as a piano and violin sonata, piano first but equal importance.

[@tarasios_lit]

That is true.

[@annagreiner5167]

It is supposed to be a duet. Not just violin, so they have to be equal

[@assettai]

Yeah,and I also think the violinist need to be more powerful

[@magdalenafilipczak5902]

Both instruments in this piece constantly keep swapping parts in terms of importance, and it’s done here masterfully, rather than the usual way when the violinist stupidly thinks that his part is always prime.
