[@thomasherzog86]

second movement is one of the greatest musical works ever been written

[@monscarmeli]

I was struck at the almost "misterioso" development of the ideas up to the conslusion of that movement -- what seems to start as something almost "playful" becomes dark and somber at the end....what a genius Beethoven was...

[@danal81]

Ok

[@Dylonely42]

Exaggerated

[@charlottewhyte9804]

2nd mov in D minor is absolutely awesome

[@AndreyKiselev1994]

Everyone seems to single out the 2nd mvt (myself included), and rightly so!

[@suelamullaj7068]

Molto bravo!!

[@Xyriak]

Live it. Marovec is great 👍

[@alexanderk.3177]

Beautiful rendering!

[@jorgeliberati7804]

Sí. Lo indescifrable es lo que hace de esa magia lo sublime en Beethoven

[@johnnynoirman]

Pure magic

This is one of the few Beethoven sonatas where I find Gould's rendition to be exceptionally fine. First movement especially.

[@filibertopierami6892]

Sono totalmente d'accordo!

[@tomyamartino]

I had never heard either this or the Gould. I just checked out Gould, and I do love it. His humming always makes it feel like you're standing next to him at the piano.

[@FelipeFerreira7]

The humanity will never understand the magic of this piano sonata.

[@renep9968]

Except you of course

[@FelipeFerreira7]

@@renep9968 neither me

[@FrankyyBalboa]

So Beethoven didn't understant this magic too?

[@Whatismusic123]

​​@@FrankyyBalboano, probably not. He wasn't a composer who understood much, his knowledge was vast however. Later composers like chopin, scriabin, and wölfl definitely understood this piece if they heard it.

​@@Whatismusic123Have you considered writing sentences that are coherent?

[@throxing8865]

a little bit fast but still a compelling performance I’d say

[@FrankyyBalboa]

This sonata pings your brain very much. Sleepy fly it won't play.

[@porkyminch5131]

12:14 So his 32nd Piano Sonata wasn't the only one with jazzy tunes...

[@guillaume8751]

End of 7th also

[@charlottewhyte9804]

1st mov need nor be so fast really. Listen to barenboim leasure speed

[@caramel5352]

This is one of my favorites but I cant listen to this recording, it is played way too quickly, cant enjoy the nuance and harmony.

[@charlottewhyte9804]

a little bit fast

[@craigcrawford5894]

i actually kind of like this tempo. It creates a dancelike quality without being too melodramatic. I think Moravec’s sensitivity is on 10 here. Totally understand your opinion though, the piece is chock full of interesting harmonies/textures :)
