Yet another delightful video. Thank you so much! You pack so much information into a 20+ minute video, that I do believe that I could watch it a dozen times and come away with something new each and every time.

Thank you for this analysis. I especially liked your spotting of Beethoven's use of dissonances, opening the way for later, more "rule breaking" composers.

At the moment I revisit Ravel's sonatina (that I played some years ago), wondering about the harmonies...consecutive fiths, seconds and other dissonances...but so captivating music!

Thanks once again for an analysis of Beethoven - seeing the harmonic structure is always helpful - not only for playing the piece, but for ideas to help composition.

This was one of my favorite lessons you’ve done recently. Since you released it I can’t stop playing those first few bars; they remind me of his Ecossaise in G. So playful in its harmony. That dominant V with the G in the bass is such an interesting thing. It’s like D7sus4 in first inversion, it’s absolutely wacky. It makes the previous chord, the C in second inversion, it makes that chord almost seem like a D7sus4add9 in first inversion, with that F# on the top. There’s so much tension and suspension going on! Either way, Beethoven’s bubbly side is such a joy. I’m thankful that you put this piece on display!

Inherited Classicism but a born rebel.This is Beethoven.This sonata is a kind of a 'pleaser' to the taste from the general public at that time.

Realizing this might be the subject of another good video: the way in which Beethoven revolutionized classical form and ushered in the romantic period. For example, you mentioned one technique: use of octaves in the melody line in the right hand
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
Yes. Good topic to explore.

What I usually do is analyze the chord progressions of sonatas whether it's Beethoven, Mozart, Haydn, etc which is a normal part of piano studies

Thank you again, Gareth. A particularity that I associate with Beethoven is an arpeggio where the last note of the left hand overlaps with the first note in the right. This is seen in bars 12 (A and D) and 16 (B and D). Do you have any thoughts of his purpose in this? Is it to create an off-beat accent? Would you advise a pianist to emphasise this feature?
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
That’s an interesting thought. I think it’s more to do with blending the hands and to do with Beethoven’s orchestral thinking ie the idea of one instrument passing a line to another instrument and overlapping at the point of contact.
@the_eternal_student2 жыл бұрын
I do not suggest you emphasize it, but i believe it is Beethoven's development of rhythm complexity or syncopation as you have suggested.

Do you think he’s trying to hide any obvious 3/4 rhythm with the design of the melodic movement and also its position relative to the bar lines?
@MusicMattersGB2 жыл бұрын
Yes I agree that’s one of the dimensions here.

A very interesting dichotomy and so far a rewarding one, even though I do not like the Romantic period's psychology. Thank you.

It’s a period of Western music that broadly covers the nineteenth century. Engagement of expressing emotions is key to the music with everything on a much larger scale - length, dynamics, intensity, size of orchestra etc.
