András Schiff - Sonata No.6 in F, Op.10/2 - Beethoven Lecture-Recitals

[@tinkerchel]

A personal fav~😍😍 LECTURE NOTES: -----------1st movt: sonata--------------- 1. F major is a pastoral, spring-like tonality. 2. starts with an upbeat. 7 voices. 3. Haydn: Musical humor is based on expectation & surprise. 4. @6:11 a sneaky correction~ 5. @8:32 a comical pair from 2 contrasting registers 6. @9:09 exposition ends with tonic, dominant, tonic. 7. @9:22 the development begins using the last 3 notes of the exposition as the subject of a fugato, with a little counterpoint of triplets. 8. @11:35 a false recapitulation, i.e. wrong key 9. Beethoven keeps looking for home, tonic key 10. @12:58 we are home~ --------------2nd movt: minuet & trio----------------- 11. starts with a mysterious unison in the lower register 12. @15:00 the unison turns into a 4-part texture then we have suddenly a little bit of sunshine 13. @15:17 2 upper voices imitating each other, always a Sforzando on the 3rd beat 14.@16:05 pain on the harmonious Sforzando & dissonance 15. @16:58 trio: solemn D flat major chorale 16. Beethoven's repeat is never mechanical: he changes the phrasing, makes variations, changes dynamics. --------------3rd movt: sonata------------ 17. @19:34 Bachian invention. Like a false fugue: 3 distinct fugal entries but no more. 18. piano until @20:34 the first Forte in this movement.

What a marvelous lecture! Performances of the last movement are so often rushed, and the dynamics so often one-dimensional, that I can see why he says that people don't like it. But I've always thought it was a masterpiece as he does. I'm glad he takes the time to bring out the phrasing.

For anyone who was wondering (as I was) about the Bach at 19:34, it is the Invention no 8 BMV 779

[@LouisEmery]

For the last movement, the presto: "All repeats are to be done. It's a MUST!" These sections are so short, yes, there was no chance for the new listener to understand the piece.

Relative minor Parallel indicates having the same name. IE: F major is to F minor, F sharp minor is to F sharp major. The relative minor of F is D, they share the same key signature. There's nothing parallel about them

[@ylevision7088]

I also happened to have a think about that e-flat or d-sharp thing leading to e major thing the other day while studying this music lol

Does anyone know what he’s playing at 2:11 as another example of F-Major?

what a good lecture!

[@mohammadqamari3221]

can someone tell me what he say at 3:10 and at 5:12 after "and always this little"? please it's urgent.

[@helloitismetomato]

Why is it "urgent" that you know? Is someone holding a gun to your head? Anyway he says "arsis, thesis" and then "sforzandi" (plural of sforzando).

[@mohammadqamari3221]

@@helloitismetomato ahaha thank you no I'm translating this into Persian so that Persian people can enjoy it as well and I promised that it would be done by the end today so that was the emergency and thank you again. :)
