András Schiff - Sonata No.19 in G minor, Op.49/1 "Leichte Sonata" - Beethoven Lecture-Recitals

[@tinkerchel]

LECTURE NOTE: This sonata is in 2 movements-Haydn's model. Haydn has many 2-movement piano sonatas. Whereas Mozart has none. They are all in 3 movements. Although there are 2-movement Mozart violin sonatas. --------------1st movt: sonata-allegro--------------- 1. @6:51 Beethoven "can't learn a thing from Haydn"~😇 2. @8:34 peculiar G minor: the only Gm piano sonata by Beethoven. There's one for cello & piano, Op.5, No.2 3. starts with an upbeat 4. @10:54 Haydn is always building from little cells. Beethoven here is bringing something new: more horizontal style, several-bar long legato phrases. Haydn and Mozart are much more pragmatic: short slurs maximum a bar long or shorter. Slurs are more often composed for string instruments it's very important when interpreting Haydn or Mozart to observe these slurs: you can always play a Mozart slur on one bow 5. @12:56 a little epilogue 6. @13:20 in development section we get the first forte. Don't make an 🐘 out of little 🐦 7. @14: 40 when Beethoven uses unison, it has a rhetorical/speaking element to emphasize something 8. @17:39 even in this light little sonata there are very daring chromatic steps and dissonances 9. @17:55 a crescendo then subito piano, typical of Beethoven. There are very few dynamic instructions on these 2 sonatas 10. @18:53 never doing twice the same 11. @19:28 Beethoven writes a counterpoint and puts the theme in the base 12. @20:13 coda --------------2nd movt: rondo------------ 13. 6/8 time. Starts with an unusual 4-quaver upbeat 14. @21:50 "Ludwig Van Beethoven"😹 15. @24:54 a false return in minor, like a quotation, then back to the major 16. @26:42 fermata: so you'd expect a cadenza like in a piano concert. But Beethoven just ends it modestly 17. @27:10 a Swiss/Austrian yodel

I never liked "talking" music before. But this is something else....

Check out the 25th sonata

[@Marco1281]

Yes, you're right and the middle movement is really beautiful. :-)

[@vananh3200]

he teaches us how to play the song and i hope he will be success!!!

[@arongach7241]

Schiff's playing especially in the final movement is such a genius I think...

[@marcolagana5342]

Molto bello. Schiff parla un inglese estremamente comprensibile per tutti. Invece nei sottotitoli in italiano, Waldstein diventa "Gallese" e l'Appassionata "Apache"!!!

I suppose op 49 n 1 was like my debut when i was 11, in front of maybe 1-2000, ie the massive school and their parents and friends. hmmm those were good days!
