BEETHOVEN “TEMPEST” SONATA OP. 31, NO. 2 PIANO TUTORIAL // Triplets, Repetitions,Fast Piano Passages

[@richardforshaw8479]

From what I’m hearing, I’m hoping that you will become a leading interpreter of Beethoven. I totally ‘get’ him when you are playing his music.

[@richardforshaw8479]

It amazes me that you use the minimal of movement technically- it’s like you block a section of notes just before you execute them. Fascinating to watch.😊

[@richardforshaw8479]

It‘s exciting to hear you talk about this in such detail, sharing your perspective, and giving us some ideas on how to improve our approach this sonata.😀

Excelente, está me ajudando d+

Yet another very valuable video, thank you! I am working on this sonata right now and will implement your ideas right away. I love your channel so much!

Thank you so much 😊 🙏🏻

😍🎹 How wonderful! Many feelings awaken in me when listening to them.

Such masterpieces!

Thanks so much! Such a difficult piece...I'm very slowly chipping away at it. I like how you included musicality tips, hoping for more interpretation tips interweaved into future vidoes (you've done a lot on technical exercises and less on musicality). Keep up the excellent work, and hope to see a performance of the three Beethoven sonatas you performed 😊

Thank you, so glad you liked this! 🤗🙏🏻

Great teaching, so very helpful! 😍 The Estonia piano sounds beautiful. Hope you had a wonderful concert!

Thank you so much 🤗

[@ilpianoforte]

Thank you! Very practical suggestions! I really like a lot your even, soft and gentle touch.

Glad you like them! Thank you 🙏🏻

What is interesting about interpretation, is that you have a clearly defined and positive answer as to how the music needs to be interpreted, and the result is always totally convincing. R.

This was super interesting, Danae! I like the fact that you explained the musical background and the interpretation. In fact, knowing these nuances makes all the difference, especially in a Beethoven piece. Thanks so much, you're wonderful :)

Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@stefanufer608]

Dear Danae, your videos always brighten my day and are an inspiration - you are not only a brilliant pianist but a very gifted communicator. May your career go from strength to strength.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

[@stefanufer608]

@ Gern geschehen!

[@karimsalah5817]

Amazing useful video as usual! Thank you Danae!

Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@KWchannel88]

Thank you for posting. I have seen most people, myself included, playing the passage starting 7:50 with left hand crossing to play the melody. It's interesting to see you played this way - I think it's harder to play your way.

Later on, in the development, I also cross with my left hand to play the melody, but in the exposition, I somehow find this way sounds more convincing when I play it. But it definitely is a matter of preference - both ways work well. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@richardforshaw8479]

I know that I sometimes make several comments about the same video.That is because I listen to them more than once, and find things in them that I can react to again! Richard.

That’s great, thank you!

[@wimvanmoerbeke]

Nice to see you again after so many years, last time was Mozarteum-Salzburg early 2000's...

Oh wow, so nice to see you again here! And thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@batboy242]

Awesome as always!,

🤗🙏🏻

[@rothschildianum]

I like this style!

🤗🙏🏻

[@GiacomoPhilipp92]

Estonia pianos were present in the USSR, too. This one seem to be a very good piano for Beethoven, I really like the sound. I am very convinced by your interpretation and love your musical sense.

Thank you very much!

[@eddynifar]

Merci

[@richardforshaw8479]

Do you think, if I listened to all your teaching videos 10 times each, I would be super- brilliant like you?! (Probably not!!) I could always dream.🙄 R

Hi Danae, thanks for another great video! During your previous video on this opus, the 3rd movement (your video was titled something VLOG), I had a question regarding the use of the pedal, I would so appreciate it if you could be so kind to answer (I started learning this one from the back to the front, I've not started the first part yet). Also, do you think you might do a video on Beethoven's last sonata's and discuss how they are so different? In particular the very last one's Arietta (I thought I was listening to turn of the century jazz piano at one point!) or maybe the Adagio Sostenuto of Hammerclavier? Hope your concert went well, you had a beautiful Estonia to play on!

Thank you so much! I just replied to your other comment about the 3rd movement - I only saw it now. As for the late Beethoven sonatas, they are definitely a highly interesting subject and I will try to make a video on them sometime in the future as well. Thanks so much for watching 🙏🏻

[@chutton988]

Thanks for your advice and perspective. I enjoyed the video and the format. I'm interested in doing an all-female recital, can you tell me the other composers you're performing other than Wieck Schumann and Mendelssohn Hensel?

I played works by Clara Schumann, Fanny Mendelssohn, Florence Price and a lesser known composer from Stuttgart called Käthe Volkart-Schlager.

[@louisgallo8778]

Thanks for the tutorial. Just wondering if you follow a particular publishers fingerings. Also, I realize that practicing at a slow tempo is important but is there a risk of losing some of the nuances you discuss If one practices too slowly; is there a tempo you would recommend. iThanks in advance.

I studied both the Urtext as well as the Schnabel edition and fingerings and am probably playing a mixture of both according to what feels best to me. I think that one slow run through per day doesn’t have any risk of losing nuances. Of course, you need to follow that with a faster tempo and you need to challenge yourself by playing it right at the tempo you feel comfortable at at the moment or a bit faster, but as long as you do that (and not practice slowly exclusively, but rather once or twoce a day), I wouldn’t say that you will lose anything if practicing slowly. Thanks for watching 🤗

[@richardforshaw8479]

I can almost hear Beethoven screaming at some interpreters ‘ no! Not truck that! However, he would definitely say to you ‘ Das ist es!

[@richardforshaw8479]

Just to say that Martha Augerich and you are completely different artists, and you are. In my opinion, a more emotional player, and if I had a choice, I would want to listen to you! Richard.

[@roberthurless4615]

You are the new Martha Argerich.

I wouldn’t ever dare to say that 😉 but thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@gervasiomontenegro569]

@ Martha Argerich is from another planet...
