Beethoven. The lost sonata?

[@TriSarahTops013]

Oh wow! Ironically, we just watched the Dudley Moore video of this in my "Topics in the History of Theory" class a few weeks ago! Reallllly enjoy this! Totes amazing! LOVE the combination of Colonel Bogey and Beethoven!

[@survivingthehorizon9]

Dudley Moore was the only one that could out coda Beethoven! so awesome that you did this!

[@RainboWAYGuys]

Fantastic!! Sound very beautiful

[@patmarram]

James, you play so wonderful. I would love to see you play live. when is your next show. Your amazing

[@clavis55]

It is very great James!

[@eggplnt]

Amazing as always good Sir! Every time you put out a new video I direct a little "thank you" to Stephen Fry for tweeting about you that one time....

[@radiokid2]

Aha!...I heard a fragment of the tango "Hernandez' Hideaway" too! Fabulous channel and witty comentary. I think we must have separated at birth! ha!

[@angustiassanta-barbara9420]

Wonderfull!!! ❤️

[@CraigSutMusic]

bloody brilliant!

[@telmacardoso565]

bravo, maestro ! you are not of this world ! :)

[@mamaduke16]

Bravo bravo bravo!!!!

[@PierreLombardini]

!!! hahaha, this was the greatest piano playing ive seen!!

[@rinrath]

it sounds like the "The Bridge on the River Kwai's soundtrack", well can be a variation of an older militar march or theme, because Ludwig was a great at the variations. Does anybody think the same that me about the soundtrack? Regards from Chile, dear James, we watch "Piano Man" every time we can.

[@stephenchurley2438]

Dudley Moore would have been proud!

[@KatieKillian]

Oh that's fantastic! Swoon!

[@CrusaderBeach]

[@jaapkr7520]

[@garfreed]

[@raquelbertamoni7600]

Que maravilla!

[@jameslawrence7043]

I get neck ache just looking at his posture at the piano!

[@myempathy1]

Great!

[@Gahanaholic101]

He is the best...

[@lcolumbo1965]

And the same to you!

[@LisaJButler]

OMFG! You are so cool!

[@atilayguler7750]

very nicee ..

[@uriel0809ifyjf]

wow , si que Beethoven hacia la música pesada en esa época

[@MrSamc94]

Just like the waldstein, you think it's going to end....then you realise that it's beethoven, the master of the lengthy transitioned coda..

[@DS42296]

i actually loved this piece, even though it isn't beethoven's i want to learn it... where can i find the sheet music for this???

[@johnsmith-eh3yc]

Well you could start by asking Dudley Moore;s heirs if his arrangement can be put up for sale and if they are happy with his work being used without any acknowledgement whatsoever in at least two videos by James.I am a fan of James, love his Schumann Dedication but this failure to mention Dudley does James no credit at all, There are a couple of kids playing a variant on Liszt's Hungarian rhapsody and even they have the decency to credit Victor Borge

[@natirp]

awesome :D

[@Haamidpianoman]

woah

[@MrStrangeSensation]

God I want that jacket.

[@Gubeegal]

OK, so you've just got a new fan / worshipper / whatever.

[@alejandrahuanca9199]

OMG!!!!

[@rinrath]

I tried to upload the link to the soundtrack but I couldn't :(

[@Lamkool]

Nice, but Dudley Moore who I believe wrote this jokey arrangement, did this best.

[@TimandBen]

I've been looking for that Dudley Moore score! Where did you get it?

[@diegofarias8857]

What is the name of the piece?

[@AardbijVsAardappel]

[@andrewc9643]

is it just me or does it sound like the Spaceballs dink dink song? kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3SkoZiOeKpjjZo

[@ShaneTheMathGuy]

😒really?

[@jackfletcher1000]

Hitler had only big ball?

[@MusicalMissCapri]

Lol!

[@MrRicksStudio]

So much C minor...

[@ilyesblagui6959]

I love what you did in Chopin the woman behind the music, but for millions of reasons this is not written by Beethoven, i can explain that through the pianistic technics used, the rhythmicity and dynamics of the piece also through the poor harmonic stuff in the piece and the annoying coda, not to mention the J.S Bach part and the Moonlight Sonata motif. Sir, its not by playing loud sounds and going through a perfect cadenza you can pretend that it's a piece by Beethoven you just discovered, it's an improvisation you played or probably a piece you created to simulate Beethoven style and it's not that cool to tell people it's something that belongs to probably the greatest compser of all times. Respect.

[@Приказкизаслушане]

Man, it's Dudley Moore's parody of Beethoven... the fact that Rhodes doesn't say it is part of the joke. Take it easy! 😀
