First movement! Maestoso - Allegro con brio ed appassionato |
| On the second page of the arrieta the right hand appears to be playing too different voices. is it all one voice or are the top notes the melody im not good at figuring this stuff out |
Listening to the Andras Schiff lecture on Beethoven 109, he notes that although the Sonatas were sketched and composed at the same time, Beethoven chose not to give them the same opus number, as he had with op.2 or op.31, or op.27. Schiff never really offers a reason for this. Does anyone here have any interesting ideas? I ruled out the answer that they were too dissimilar for the same opus number, because the sonatas in op.31 are hardly similar, and the only thing linking those in op.27 is "quasi una fantasia."

Here is the second movement of Beethoven's sonata op. 111. I'm looking forward to your comments :)

| I have thought for hours now if i should really post this. Now i'll do it. I recorded that two years ago in an empty hall (hence the massive reverb) on a Steinway B grand. It was a dress rehearsal (though without public) for a solo piano evening concert. Now I'm about to brush this sonata up and would appreciate your comments. :) |
| Beethoven op. 111, Rach first sonata, Schumann concerto with Grimaud ( yeah yeah Thal, maybe she would convert you ;D) |
| Was he doing coke when he recorded this? I've never heard such a fast first movement. :o |
