Tiffany Poon - Beethoven Sonata No.11, Op.22

[@mrkkrssk]

0:00 Allegro con brio 6:00 Adagio con molto espressione 16:30 Menuetto 20:20 Rondo: Allegretto Beautifully played, especially the Adagio con molto espressione is so tenderly touching. The first movement, with strongly marked dynamics, is decidedly of virile character but you manage it pretty well. Bravo !

[@justsomepersonwhoreportbot]

Marek Krasuski aaaah, I see a man of classical culture.

[@brianwolle2509]

pretty well? how are you on it?

[@redrakham8060]

Brian Wolle To be fair it is pretty well, But not the best

[@paulkramer7844]

Why did Beethoven write "molto espressione"? Espressione is a feminine noun. It should be modified by a feminine adjective. Shouldn't he have written, "Adagio con molta espressione"?

[@timotot123]

The final movement is such a gem. It's definitely one of the special movements out of the whole cycle of his monumental sonatas

[@muhittincankorkut6094]

I like the sheer power sense of thr first movement though 4th movement is great too

[@randykern1842]

That second movement is divine, pure ecstasy! A bravura performance

[@oliviacrocker6379]

After a stressful day, this is just what I needed to wind down. One of my absolute favorites, played by one of my absolute favorites ❤️

Damn classical music is awesome . I am so thankful...

[@robertmicelli2946]

We are all blessed to have such incredible people like Tiffany in the world.

[@timkrueger4947]

This sonata was composed in 1800 while the Eroica followed in 1803 to 1804. What a difference three or four years make! I once swore I would not listen to music composed before 1830. But I like this, and of course the creative Eroica. It depends on the composer I suppose. Thanks for the exposure Tiffany. I enjoyed it a lot.

[@Assassunn]

wtf you don't like Mozart sonata or concerto ? Not even Sonata no 8 or 12 nor any concerto such as 20, 24 or 25 ?

[@Schleiermacher1000]

Wonderfully freshly played. Please more Beethoven, thank you.

[@danielleperez0]

Thank you for uploading!! I've loved hearing you play this since you sight read it lol

[@DrQuizzler]

Beautiful!! For most of the time I was listening, I was thinking about how brilliantly the composer's pen flowed from THIS passage to THAT passage, how he glided from THIS key to THAT key,...mood...and so on. That wonderful, fun experience made possible by some seriously on point playing and interpreting, which felt more like communing with the composer than simply listening to a performance. What can I say? Pretty darn good!! :)

[@andy_grds]

one of my favorite beethoven sonatas ! such a lovely interpretation ❤ the second movement almost made me cryyy

[@kwanwoojeong407]

from hearing this performance, I just figured out so much about your personality!! So detail-oriented, compassionate and warm-hearted!

[@folkeholmberg3519]

How beautiful words and so right ❤️

[@InvaderMixo]

I went back and listened to both Lortie and Brendel, and I have to say that without at doubt your version is the best. I love the balance. I love the clarity of every single note. Only thing I miss is the repeat in the first movement.

[@muhittincankorkut6094]

I guess in sonata 6 she did not repeat the third movement,addition to this sonata that also bothered me.

[@redrakham8060]

You should listen to pogorelich and michelangeli

[@clamayaceo]

I’ve enjoyed this Beethoven sonata so very much ever since you introduced it. Thanks for sharing this. Just beautifully performed. One of my favorite things to do is watch your fingers move effortlessly across the keyboard and to appreciate the sensitivity of your interpretation. Listening to this was a real treat this evening for me (after a rather challenging day)! Thank you.

[@jameswieser483]

I am so glad I checked for new uploads. Now I will sleep much better after hearing you play a very challenging Sonata by Beethoven. Fantastic performance and interpretation as usual.

[@crewelocoman5b161]

Well done Tiffany. Great to see you delighting in the subtle rhythms and off beat accents in the first movement and sustaining the lovely bel canto in the second. There's a lot more to this Sonata than at first appears. As Beethoven himself said: This Sonata is in apple pie order!

[@targetfootball7807]

Clearly the work paid off. I like the way you play it. It sounds fun to play. It would take me a thousand years.

[@FabiaoLopesRodrigues]

Well done! You inspired me to get back to sight reading again. It is coming along pleasantly, so thank you!

Great symmetry, love this interpretation. Beethoven in the early stages of his opus is very much like a mathematical machine with wonderful hints of rebellious and power he later developed that lead to Romantic period.

[@NWS189]

Wow, amazing. Hope it is as cathartic for you to play this whole piece as it is for us to listen.

Random stuff Well its not a big deal actually, its a complete sonata and every pianist has to learn and memorize Sonatas. And Memorization isn’t really tough.

memorising happens naturally while practicing, as soon as you have a piece you are learning whirring around your head you know you can memorise it easily

[@robertferguson2091]

Beautiful of course! You captured a beautiful classical sound and your left hand is just so incredible... I really enjoyed it! If I were playing it for a competition I might try to be more orchestral like Brendal and Barenboim. They are less precise and play with a heavier touch than you do, but as an audience member, I liked your playing better than both of theirs :)

[@HiiH99]

i love your sound😘

[@davidjgburnett]

So glad I listened to this as besides the great pleasure given by your performances, I realised that the second movement is so.ething that was buzzing around in my head last week and apart from thinking it was probably Beethoven I couldn't put a name to it or find anything that looked like it in my collection of sheet music. I can now get a copy and give it a go. Won't be anything like as good as your rendition but certainly worth a stab.

[@conceptbichon8959]

Sublime version!! Quel touché de note !!! C est du velours a l écoute. Pour ma part je travail la sonate n°14 de Ludwig beethoven au complet , j ai de grosse difficulté pour le troisième mouvement, en ce qui concerne l interprétation. Si un jour tu as l'occasion de l enregistrer n hésite pas, je serai curieux de voir ta version. 😊

Oh yes, this sonata is very nice and full of life. I was playing it for my own autotherapy, actually when I was quite fed up, but then it got some unexpected applause, so now I am working to get it ready, and here is a good example of the way I would like to have it. Maybe some things would be different, that's the joy of doing your own interpretation, but not a lot, the piece is quite straightforward.

[@lalac3360]

22:25 - 22:47 is def my favourite passage

[@skisunfb]

Tiffany, what can I say - you play beautifully and with great feeling and clarity! Below is a link to a contrasting version by Friedrich Gulda that I thought you might find surprising and, hopefully, enjoy. Even in the second movement it never loses it's drive and flow - and the variations totally make sense. After many years of listening to over 40 versions (including live with many of the greats) I've concluded that Gulda is the absolute master of this sonata (and his 32 I find the most satisfying of all as a whole). His tempo relationships in this four movement masterpiece are also the best I've heard and he plays with, brilliance, exuberance, drive, flow, intensity, clarity and.....humor (Beethoven had a very typical jabbing, humor from the Rheinland!). Just as important, he never lets the long line fizzle out. I actually see you enjoying this piece more (as you do the Haydn D Major!) letting her rip a bit more and perhaps with a touch less pathos. Beethoven was still young, masculine (as always) and an incredible virtuoso!!!!! Let me know your thoughts. Gulda: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWaTpIyveJKDeqc Keep up the great work and Happy New Year!

We are so lucky with all the wonderfull pieces of classical pieces that are available for us in this era. Even after more than 20 years of listening to classical piano music, Ive never heard this Beethoven Sonata! When I was a kid I used to name all my cats, they were all black and white, Beethoven. And in Dutch you can make a little joke with Beethoven his name switching the B and H, which means Heet(hot) Boven (above). Sometimes very suiting for Beethovens pieces. But not for this piece xD
