Excellent,thank you for this upload.

[@TimondeNood]

You're welcome Peter!

[@Ricardo7250]

Thanks for putting the full performance on the start of the video

[@TimondeNood]

No problemo!

[@eltonwild5648]

Do you have more examples of latent melodies found in other works? Can't wait for the Brahms analysis! Good stuff Timon!

[@TimondeNood]

Go take a look at Bach's solo sonatas for violin & cello, you will find and hear plenty! Thank you Elton

[@Tyrell_Corp2019]

Ugh. Brahms. The music of sexual repression and rhythms for constipated white guys.

[@tobias.s.dreher]

I don’t feel the real climax is on the forte Dominant (as it comes identically in the reprise). The point of main interest is that unexpected e-minor6 chord just before the reprise: it is basically the only sequence that comes only once. It is special and outstanding. Even if it is not as « loud » as the E-Major, it gives the whole piece a point of horizon from which to come back from in the reprise. But thanks for the great analysis and video!!! ❤

[@MofosOfMetal]

Great analysis! the simplicity of the theme also reminds me of Medtner's Sonata-Reminiscenza. Does anyone else hear the similarity?

[@TimondeNood]

Indeed, similar contours in the opening bars

[@teodorb.p.composer]

Yeah. But Medtner has of course more original harmonies and the structure is kinda more complex, well because Medtner was using more the philosophy - More is more.

[@TimondeNood]

Lol, I hope you don't believe that yourself. Perhaps you should think twice before passing judgment based on one composition by Sibelius. IMO the framework of a composition determines whether you should use a lot or little material. So no, more is not necessarily more.

[@illtemperedklavier-ir9fy]

That was delightful, the right hand was so clear, and the left wasn't forced. That looks like something where I'd try to play it, but I'm not great at piano, I'd blur it at best, or just use the pedal. Ew. This one was great.

[@TimondeNood]

Yeah, that's something you need to practise without pedal first!

[@MarxistischerMillionaer]

Isn’t it at the last cadence at the end (the measure before the last one) a I 64 chord instead of V 64 chord?

[@TimondeNood]

Morphologically yes, functionally no. American and european analysis label this chord differently. Take a look at this video: kzbin.infodz8RxGKzxQk?si=nzX0wqJ1lubTfkmL

[@MarxistischerMillionaer]

@@TimondeNood thanks, yes that makes sense. I watched a similar video on music theory but it was on an American channel

[@TimondeNood]

Glad it helped!

[@Lahdyn]

One thing is please play the segments/fragments as you explain them. A video about a musical piece without playing the bits is frustrating (especially for the visually impaired). Thank you for the excellent content.

[@TimondeNood]

Thank you, I do this in some of my recent videos, for example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKm1d3anfL52gtksi=dP1TCOMhcodSCOmR Thanks for pointing out!

[@jamesrockybullin5250]

This would double the length of the video. It’s not clear that would make it more accessible.

[@TimondeNood]

It's not a necessity to replay every single fragment. I'm now editing a new video about one of Ravel's works and it's just way better to replay some fragments for the listener.

[@TimondeNood]

Well it depends ofc 😅
