Beethoven, Op. 7, II. 'Largo, con gran espressione' [Audio]

[d_b_christopher]

Hello, Chaps and Chapettes,

I have been quite active over the past few months, rehearsing and doing a little performing.

I recorded this last night during a rehearsal; I love this sonata and intend to post a video of the entire piece eventually, but 30 mins is a long time to record, particularly in HD.

In the meanwhile, please enjoy this beautiful movement from Beethoven's second longest Sonata.

Thanks for this, most enjoyable. Nice deep piano sound and well-characterised observation of Beethoven's markings. It's so much more effective when the staccati are brought out.

Wow, thank you!  Really glad you enjoyed it!
