5 Minutes On... Beethoven - The Moonlight Sonata (C# minor) | Daniel Barenboim [subtitulado]

[@futuropasado]

the greatest beethoven player ever.

[@Denvuptown]

Maestro, I just wanted to say, you are the best pianist I have ever heard! I am a disabled vet on a fixed income, so I have no chance of ever hearing you play in person. But I know good playing when I hear it, and I've NEVER, in 62 years, ever heard better! Particularly with Beethoven sonata #13. God bless you , sir, for giving the world such a priceless gem of music!

[@miryambarnabas2424]

Praying for you William! I totally agree with your comment! Thank you for your Service! 🙏🏼

[@samikd1]

How effortlessly is he playing it !!

[@zeppelinmexicano]

I think he's right about the first movement and the martial quality, and the funeral dirge quality of it. Who named it, and why, we may never know, but it does affect the way it's played. I like Daniel's interpretation, and his playing is just too excellent to believe.

[@pradhant]

Barenboim is going where no pianist has gone before. Thank you Sir.

[@SeanChay]

I suggest to make it about 10 minutes or maybe 15 minutes!!! What you present here isn't enough... It could be more than that. 😍

[@franklyvulgar1]

Why not 20 or 60? I think the point of these is to make them quick and summarize within 5 minutes some highlights not to go in depth in anyway

[@curaticac5391]

@@franklyvulgar1 The man had many other things to do; I am even surprised that he created these videos; I can guarantee that it took him much longer than five minutes to put them together.

Oh man, I understand, I could listen to him to talk and play all day.

[@edgardodelossantos2590]

No sé si aún graba estos fabulosos videos, pero si estaría muy bien tener quince minutos, cinco por movimiento. Si a alguien le es suficiente ver cinco minutos, ok, hacer dos versiones de vídeo. se aprende a disfrutar y entender más todo.

[@chessematics]

Breaking the myth among all young generation in just 5 mins. Amazing. This is real Barenboim stuff

[@binhminh417]

The most invaluable 5-minutes for piano players. Thank you, Maestro Barenboim

[@javicam]

Dear Mr Daniel, you are the best piano player in the world. I'm a girl of 9 years old and i would like to play like you. 🤗

[@johnmarino4360]

Daniel's version is the best I have ever heard. Amazing dynamics and emotion are put into the often-overlooked first movement, so much so that I mentally place myself at Lake Lucerne on a cold winter night watching the clouds slowly traverse the moon with the passage of each section. Although I am a longtime Rock keyboardist with no musical training, I have taught piano for the last 12 years, and my Classical students are implored to listen to Daniel's rendition of this and other pieces. I once glimpsed (a copy of) Beethoven's original hand-written manuscript of the first movement. I noticed that all the arpeggios are written using leggiero style (small) notes while the octave themes used normal size notes. I personally believe Beethoven wanted the player to keep these arpeggios in the background for most of the piece while highlighting the main octave theme. I definitely hear this implemented to some extent in Daniel's version but in no others. I employ this technique and I ask my students to do so as well as it really brings out the beauty of the theme while at the same time making the piece less robotic.

[@patriotefrancesud]

100 pour cent d'accord, j'ai toujours assimilé ce mouvement à la mort, et certainement pas à un sentimental clair de lune ! Barenboim et René Duchable sont les deux musiciens qui analysent le mieux Beethoven !

[@ronaldchao4469]

It’s amazing how Mr. Barenboim can relate the first movement of this Sonata to a funeral march…. What an illuminating insight.

[@AidaJof]

Maestro, These 5 min studies remind me of your 1-hr black & white programs you made in the 60s which were shown in my native Chile ... love them then and love them now even if they're only 5 min. All the best from a fan!

[@hollywooda111]

What a stunning player.... my jaw hit the desk on that last run.

[@Paullauenstein]

Thank you very much for your illuminating observations on the Moonlight Sonata. As someone who started playing the piano very late in life (age 46), they give me a better understanding of the effect Beethoven might have had in mind. I would like to add that listening to your renditions of Beethoven's music is absolutely thrilling!

The hypnotism of grief. One of the most fascinating elements of musical interpretation for me is to discover the mind of the composer and explore possible narratives of the work.

[@jamesonrichards5105]

4:41 the amount of attention the last movement demands is so captivating

[@alexanderlichtmannegger4500]

Danke. Ihre musikalischen Highlights und Ihr Zugang werden mich in einer schweren ChemotherapieZeit als Zusatzmedikation für meine Seele gut begleiten. danke. allein die Vorfreude wirkt sich gut auf mein Gemüt aus.

[@Adks007]

4:40 Oh my god. Daniel Barenboim's magic with marvelous ending.

[@ibizaking]

only a Maestro like Barenboim could find a similarity like this music has with Don Giovanni!

[@dianedelacger3968]

J'ai tours considéré que Beethoven était un musicien les pieds dans le classique et la tête dans un romantisme nouveau, très puissant, mais pas du tout dans une guimauve bėlante comme on voudrait nous faire croire avec ce titre de sonate au clair de lune. J e suis enchantée de vos explications si judicieuses et professionnelles; cette référence à Mozart ne fait que conforter mon image de Beethoven successeur direct de Mozart et de Haydn. Mille mercis pour vos enseignements si précieux. Diane de Lacger musicienne amateur

[@federicojaviergrandinetti6168]

[@davidtesch475]

I could listen to you play the third movement every day of my life and never tire of it.

[@TicTac1330]

I am blown away by your playing.. and you didn’t even play the whole piece/movements. I literally got an adrenaline rush

[@yuhengwu6853]

Could we get 1 or 2 hours of this? I love you Daniel Barenboim you are so fascinating and wise

[@jorgehernanbetancourtgomez7455]

En mi concepto el maestro Barenboin es el pianista que ha interpretado de mejor y más fiel manera la música de Beethoven y es el más grande pianista vivo. Ya tiene un lugar en la historia de la música.

[@matiasgoinheix366]

What a Master.

[@sandraleefuller]

Moonlight Sonata is true beauty. I have never had a mental picture of a funeral in connection with this. Something so beautiful cannot (in my mind) be connected to something like death. It may be wrong, but that is the way I like to keep it personally.

[@ericg9780]

Dear Sir, thank you for this new video. The link to Don Giovanni is very interesting and gives a new approach of Beethoven's Sonata. Bright !

Master Barenboim, thank you very much for teaching me about this beautiful work.

With total respect and admiration, a hug in the distance. 🤗😀 God bless you. 🙏🎹🎼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Ein würdiger Abschied!

[@Mortizul]

Spot on.

[@saskiamanati5534]

This video gave me a new view on Moonlight Sonata.I never felt or heard it as a "funeral march". I like being inspired by new ideas of hearing. Thank you so much for this! Classical music needs people like you: Serious speaking, but not only for people who studied music. Respecting the pieces but not hiding their character from the hearers by using cryptic language. Using (social) networks in a responsible way. Thank you so much!

To analyse this piece within 5 minutes, is quite Masterful in itself. Thank you, Daniel. Thank you.

Mr.Barenboim, I agree with everything being said !

[@marikhutsishvili2243]

This so called moonlight sonata with all three movements reminds me a death of a person, like a film strating from the end: First part is Post Funeral scilence, second tells about the youth and limited joy, third is definately struggle for life and at the end life takes over, after all death is not the worst thing that occures to a person, presto is a real heroism and here we human beings prove our eternity by marking our steps: we pass away but our steps are there indeed beethoven left his own and that way proved his eternity. Thanks dear Daniel for it ❤ And thanks for playing Mozart piece that influenced this sonata

Muchísimas gracias por todo lo que me has dado. Soy estudiante de Historia, el año pasado acabé mis estudios de violín, el grado medio de España. Ahora tengo 19 años, pero creo que empecé a escuchar tus grabaciones (sobre todo de las sonatas de Beethoven) a partir de los 14 años. Durante mi adolescencia siempre me ha acompañado Beethoven y, por consiguiente, tus grabaciones. No tengo palabras. Mi personalidad en gran manera ha sido formada por esto. No sé si leerás el comentario, pero muchas gracias de todo corazón por tú música. Beethoven es la vida en sí misma y tú le representas de la mejor manera posible.

I stumbled here accidentally from a Facebook post. It's a pleasant surprise to have an old master producing new content for the younger generation in here. I hope that this channel will thrive and that we will see many regular updates. Never really thought about the Moonlight sonata being like a funeral march although I was aware that the title was originally not given by the composer.

[@ericwong1387]

Thank you Maestro Barenboim. It's great to see someone as distinguished as you sharing your wisdom here on KZbin. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we can get more young people interested in classical music nowadays. I’d also love to see a 5 minutes on any of the late sonatas from Beethoven and Schubert.

[@BingDai]

Dear Maestro Barenboim, thank you for making these videos. :) I would be interested in your view of how to get more young people interested in classical music as well.

[@veronicaredeemed]

@@BingDai ask young people! I'm young, and I grew up with classical music and still enjoy a lot of it. I think with classical music (or any music) it is important to be able to understand it's meaning to be able to enjoy it.

[@ludenberg5550]

Eric Wong (I know you didn’t ask any input from a kid, but I thought I’d share this anyways) As a young person myself, I’d like to believe that a good number of us still are fascinated by classical music(we’re just not as vocal about it). A lot of memes incorporate classical music (like Gymnopedie No. 1, Moonlight Sonata) and modern media in general still frequently uses it. A lot of it isn’t copyrighted, so KZbin and giant creators have more liberty to use these pieces. Some shows of the early 2010s introduced me to some of my favorite classical songs as well, such as Maiden of the Flaxen Hair and Bach’s Prelude No. 1(Well Tempered Clavier).There’s also band and orchestra classes offered in many school institutions around the world, which becomes kids’ gateway to classical music. As long as classical music is available and prevalent in all sorts of media, I’m sure many kids will still listen to it. Showing your kids at a young age classical music stations in the car rides also helps them come to like classical music more, even if some will whine about it at first.

[@georgewhitehead8185]

If you look closely you will see the name Barenboim in the center of the piano, just above the keys, and you will know that this piano was custom built for Maestro Barenboim. And if you look even closer, to the extreme right of the keys, you will see the name of Chris Maene. He was the builder of this magnificent piano. He made two of these piano's, one for Maestro Barenboim, and one he keeps in his possession. These two pianos are priceless, and are built "after the form" of the famous Franz Liszt piano, which was built in France about 1865. A supremely unique feature of the Liszt piano, and the Barenboim-Maene piano's is that all of them have parallel strings, and not strings that "cross over." Enjoy the music, the man, and the piano.

[@mariawimmer4541]

And the sound of this marvellous piano is clear and full and warm and coulorful ( when the player is as good as Barenboim) and very well balanced in the high, the middle and the low register. Short off ideal!
