Beethoven | Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, "The Tempest" | Daniel Barenboim

Tra le sonate di Beethoven "La Tempesta" è quella che più mi emoziona. L'ho ascoltata nell'esecuzione di non pochi pianisti. Credo che Barenboim la interpreti con grande sensibilità.

To memorize 25 minutes of notes...

Bravo! Bravo, Maestro Daniel Barenboim! Thank you for the great performance!

I love this sonata above all others !

J’ai toujours pensé que tout finirait trop vite, j’en ai profité comme je ne l’avais jamais imaginé.

Magnifique

the third movement is so beautiful <3

Barenboim and Ashkenazy are the best, followed by Algerich.

Barenboims demütige Lyrik vor allem in den langsamen Sätzen der Beethovensonaten ist faszinierend und ergreifend.

En 2002 era el dios del piano ❤entre el siglo xx y el xxi

Can you imagine doing all 32 for audio and film... and getting 32/32 perfect? Unreal

First movement is a deep philosophy between beethoven and his thoughts

Wunderbar!

Who's behind this jerk to get so many views for such an average interpretation.. Even Richter and Michelangeli don't get half as many views

Maravilloso

Am I the only guy who really love first moment of tempest ?

Ad in the middle of a stellar performance. BOOOOO!

Title: An Odyssey in D minor: An Exquisite Dissection of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17, "The Tempest"

Within the grand tapestry of Beethoven's musical canon, the Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, Op. 31, No. 2, affectionately christened "The Tempest," occupies a singular and profound niche. This tripartite masterpiece, a confluence of emotional profundity, technical virtuosity, and groundbreaking composition, stands as a resounding testament to Beethoven's unparalleled genius and his audacious transcendence of the musical norms of his epoch.

The sonata commences with a Largo – Allegro, a movement that instantaneously immerses the auditor in a maelstrom of dramatic intensity and fervent emotion. The inaugural bars, with their ominous, syncopated rhythm, establish an ambiance of disquiet and expectancy. The ensuing Allegro is a tempest incarnate, a cyclone of swift, descending arpeggios and turbulent modulations in the minor key. Beethoven's command of tension and resolution is exhibited in all its glory here, as he crafts a sonic mosaic that is as disconcerting as it is enthralling.

The second movement, an Adagio, offers a stark juxtaposition to the tumult of its predecessor. Herein, Beethoven's melodic ingenuity radiates through a theme of tranquil beauty and profound melancholy. The lyrical, almost aria-like quality of this movement, with its refined ornamentation and expressive dynamics, proffers a moment of solace amidst the tempest. Yet, even within this tranquility, there lurks a subcurrent of the tempestuous emotion that imbues the sonata in its entirety.

The concluding movement, an Allegretto, is a veritable tour de force of technical and compositional brilliance. The relentless, propulsive rhythm, punctuated by dramatic pauses and abrupt shifts in dynamics, engenders a sense of urgency and disquiet. The intricate interplay of themes and the virtuosic demands imposed upon the performer render this movement a thrilling denouement to the sonata.

"The Tempest" is a testament to Beethoven's capacity to articulate a broad spectrum of emotions and concepts through his music. The sonata's dramatic contrasts, its pioneering manipulation of form and structure, and its technical exigencies collectively contribute to its stature as one of Beethoven's most compelling and enduring works.

In summation, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 17 in D minor, "The Tempest," is a magnum opus of emotional depth, technical prowess, and innovative composition. It is a composition that commands and rewards attentive listening, unveiling novel strata of complexity and beauty with each audition. It is, in essence, a testament to Beethoven's enduring genius and a cornerstone of the piano repertoire.
