Beethoven Sonata No.8 '' Pathétique '' _____________________________________ I. Grave -- Allegro di molto e con brio: 0:05 II. Adagio cantabile: 8:11 III. Rondo: Allegro: 13:15 '' Great Performance Traum, nicely done! ''
The name of this piece perfectly describes my piano skills. Edit it's been 3 years: idk if anybody cares but I'm actually learning this now 😭😭😭 Man I never would have guessed I could reach this level. Keep practicing guys if I can do it so can you! You've got this 🫡
@@chispioo However, its current application is not as pertinent to its proposed original Greek form as it is to my intended use of it, stemming from French. Therefore, by referencing the indicated specification as to how the word was intended to be utilized for this sonata, we can truly conclude that my above points have value. To acknowledge your proposal, yes, the roots of this term can be traced back to Greek; however, in actuality, the intended use was its definition in French. The development of the term 'Pathétique' can be interpreted in different ways, but despite this fact, I did not intend to portray it in its original form, and its development via French was correctly used in order to mean 'impassioned' in the scenario at hand.
@@therealrealludwigvanbeethoven Well, in French which is my language, "Pathétique" is mostly used with the second meaning of the Larousse dictionary : "Bad enough to cause contempt and dismay." So the comment of @Tartar101 was obviously a joke for this meaning.
My favorite it's the "hunt" so beautiful and each mouvement have an exeptional theme and she's very difficult (thé 2nd mouvement is very jumpy)i love hear it on fortepiano
What until you listen to his inspiration, J.S. Bach. Yes, _THAT_ Bach. While Beethoven rewrote the definition of genius, J.S Bach inspired the Romantic period of music. ... oh and what we have is what we _recovered_ because his children overshadowed him.
@@Quidoute no, Beethoven had cited J.S. Bach as the inspiration for quite a bit of his work and constantly sang his praises (one of which is his last name should be _ocean_ because of how much inspiring music the man did). When the two biggest names of the Romantic Period cite J.S. Bach as the man to inspire them, then who am I to argue with that notion?
11:32 this movement means so much to me. I have been diagnosed with 3 different mental illnesses and listening to it helps me handle the constant suffering while still allowing me to look at my pain and to hum along with it. God bless you Ludwig Von Beethoven! RIP
@@hatman064 The same as usual. It`s been tough all of my life. It`s just my lot in life. But I believe there is an upside. When I pass away from here I will finally be happy when I will at last meet my soulmate and my children Juno Manesseh and Magnus Wolfgang! I can`t wait! Thanks for asking my friend!
Oh my gosh, I thought I thought you were gonna drop the movements individually, but boy was I wrong (Actually I still am wrong, I did not know he posted this earlier this year, Still) Traum is incredible and we appreciate and love your playing and you, especially your dedication. Traum is simply incredible!
After playing this piece for 20 yrs, finally pianists are putting up more performances onto UA-cam. I always thought not many people would appreciate this Sonata. I like this speed and momentum, the toughest part I would say its the running down notes and jumping back up fast for the 1st movement. Well played!
this interpretation is fucking amazing. this is my new Pathetique. i always floated between kempff and gould. this is right in the middle in the most beautiful way. nothing feels rushed, or too slow. all the emotions and outbursts are there and acknowledged. Nothing feels left out, or dragged, or rushed. That is phenomenally impressive.
Love this sonata so much. Started learning this, but arthritic fingers aren't good when you have to play big chords. Thanks so much for this performance. Just beautiful.
@@margaretstrochnetter2850 I really feel your pain Mrs. Strocknetter, I am sixteen years old and have been playing for 10 years but am in extremely bad health...my left ear has already gone completely Deaf and my Right ear is on it's way to doing the same thing within the next few years and I'm trying to make a Career out of Composing and Playing already written Pieces. So, I sympathize with you. When you want to play a piece but can't because of an ailment it is truly Heart Striking.
@@randompianist5425 Jesus. Wish I could give you a huge hug. Or one of my ears. I'm a lousy pianist and can't compose to save my life, but I don't know how I'd cope if I couldn't just listen. Sincerely wish you all strength and a medical breakthrough. Hang in there. ♥
@Margaret Strochnetter I get what you mean! I am 16 and I have JRA. Luckily it is under control with the medication I’m on, but when I play piano it is difficult for me to reach chords and a lot of times I have to arpeggiate them because of my small hands combined with the arthritis in my right wrist, which prevents me from stretching it as far as my left one. Even though sometimes it hurts, I keep going because it is what I love. Don’t be afraid to take breaks in between, it helps, to make sure your fingers and wrists don’t have tension, and leave out a note (I leave out repeated notes sometimes) in chords that are difficult to reach! I wish you the best!
@@Grupsy 3rd movement: *Start from the beginning and get familiar with the main motif.* As always, practice with hands separately. The Alberti bass with the scales on the first page can be learned fairly easily if you do it the way told above. The triplets are super annoying, but if you play it slowly, you can play it quickly (sacrilegious but partly true nonetheless). I am still trying to play them equally as of today for some of the harder trips. The quick scale that goes down that ends the first part will take a TON of your practice time, but it is important to get it perfect. The fugue thingy after the repeated motif should be practiced w/ hands separately too. For the scales on the 3-4th page, S T A C C A T O them properly and practice with both hands separately. The arpeggios after them (and throughout the piece) are a pain in the butt for me. The coda is the hardest part IMO, but if you can finish the rest of the piece, the coda should be less of a challenge, but a challenge nonetheless especially the part with the RH Alberti bass (I don't know how to describe it). I practice for about 1h30m's a day, and 45 mins are spent on the 3rd movement alone. Follow the fingering. Be patient, that is what brought me to finish the piece. (After all, it took at least a month's worth of practice). If you are feeling bored with the piece in general, play the hard parts and ignore the motif, as it gets repetitive. I didn't exactly use a metronome until I was familiar with the piece. I am by no means a piano teacher, and I don't know your personal level, so take my words with a grain of salt. It's a fun piece, and my family loves hearing it, even though I spend so much time on it. I hope you enjoy it too. If I were you, I'd practice the 2nd movement first. It was easier for me, and provided the pathway to learn more difficult pieces. Remember to use the pedal generously. RN, trying the first movement. The broken octaves/tremolos are killers, and doing them requires practice, like a marathon (they require a ton of endurance). It's very symphonic and *PASSIONATE*, so I really like it. When you learn pieces, you have to REALLY like them and be borderline obsessed with them, or else you might run out of patience. (pls drop a like so I feel better)
Those pauses in the first part!! 🤩🤩The entire work is so well done! I have about 18 spots I wanted to highlight saying I loved the expressions, or those particular parts. All I know is I’m so happy and feel like I just attended a performance in a proper setting. Thank you so much for this
There are many great Beethoven Sonatas, but this one holds a special place in my heart as it was the first full sonata I learned to play. Fantastic playing as always, Traum!
This cover should be considered the standard of playing this piece. Have heard other renditions and yours is far and away the best! Great job and thank you for showing how you did it!
I remember sitting in my GCSE music class about to study the first movement and my teacher played this piece and it blew me away. One of the reason I love classical music so much now
@@goodluck1449 oh okay ! thanks for the correction, i somehow just discovered your original answer and liked it, as i wanted to re-listen to this masterpiece :)
Currently doing Music GCSE, saw this as one of our set works and thought “why not…I’m gonna try learn this” I already know I’m in for one long ride, wish me luck 👍
The first movement? The epitome of perfection! The second movement was lovely. I think this one is really up for a little bit of creative interpretation, and I personally would have played some spots more piano (but who am I to challenge Traum? lol). 10:40-11:32 section was the best in my opinion! The third movement was also amazing. I liked your choice of speed and the articulation was lovely. Amazing performance! :D
Even though this is obviously not nearly as long as other piano pieces, it's still amazing to me how people can just do performances of this length and still sound amazing. Awesome job on the interpretation as always!
Just fyi I'm pretty sure he just cut together 3 different performances into one video, that's why the screen goes black in between each movement. That being said I'm sure he could obviously play this in one sitting, and it is impressive
Back at 2 Million views! Thank you so much Traum for this excellent performance. This video was what lead me to eventually learn this piece 2 years later.
This is the first time I ever listened to the first movement of Pathetique Sonata. Your interpretation is unique. My favorite is the third movement, actually. Congratulations TRAUM .............AND THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE.
I learned how to play the piano Sincé I was kid, now I'm 67 and can't play this máster peace complete, only second movement. You need to práctica a lot of hours every day to play like this pianist.
Tengo 14 años y es todo un honor que esta obra maestra me haya permitido ganar un concurso nacional, definitivamente es la pieza que más difruto tocando y oyendo.
I am 14 years old and it is an honour that this masterpiece has allowed me to win a national competition, it is definitely the piece I enjoy playing and listening to the most.
Que cool! Yo tengo 12 y estoy escuchando las sonatas de Beethoven para mi próxima clase de piano. Cuanto te tomo para aprender lo todo? Lo tienes memorizado?
This isa college level piece, my piano teacher literally had this one piece to practice and to count for like 50% of her grade for the whole semester~ so definitely hard af :)
Hey I'm learning this piece right now and I listen to your interpretations a lot. I will definitely take examples from your version. Thanks for uploading so much Traum.
I started learning the second movement yesterday 😄 My teacher said i could finish it in a month or so Wish me luck Update #1: learned 3 lines so far. Loving this piece Update #2: learned 2 and a half pages. (Took a 2 week break from practicing because i had exams) Update #3 (Friday/29th of January/ 2021): just finished the entire second movement🙂 I loved it. I'm gonna start the first movement in a couple of days! Wish me luck (again xD) Update #4 ( Wednesday/ 10th of February/2021): finished the introduction of the first movement and started with the M.T Update #5 ( Wednesday/ 24th of February/ 2021): finished the M.T yesterday and just started with the S.T (for some reason I didn't practice AT ALL for like a week that's why I'm behind schedule 😢) Update #6 ( Wednesday/ 3rd of march/ 2021): finished the S.T but its still a little wonky. Just started with the (I forgot what its called, the part after the S.T) turns out the first movement is not difficult at all. It's just a bit fast, but if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly. Update #7 (Thursday/ 11th of march/ 2021): Yeah... It's hard BECAUSE its fast. I memorized that fast part (4:08 until 4:40) but it doesn't sound good at all lol, it's too slow. Probably gonna take me a few days to play it in the right tempo. Update #8 (Tuesday/ 30th of march/ 2021): Made that "hard" part sound good like two weeks ago but i forgot to update. I thought this was some advanced level sonate and that I'm a 15 yearold prodigy because i didnt think it was that hard, turns out i didn't think it's that hard BECAUSE it's NOT that hard lol. Anyways, I got to the second M.T part which has some new chords (i cant remember what its called). I have 2 pagea left to finish the 1st movement yay! Update #9 (Tuesday/ 13th of april/ 2021): Finally finished the firat movement yay! (The last page is still a a bit wonky but i dont care). Just startes the 3rd movement 2 hours ago lol. Update #9.5: I just uploaded the 2nd movement on my UA-cam channel :D Update #10 (Friday/ 14th of may/ 2021): The piano i play is at my grandma's house... she died 3 days ago at 11:42 am... i dont really feel like playing at all... i cancelled my piano lessons for the next two weeks because i might've caught covid from my grandma before she passed away... idk what will happen now, but i wont quit playing the piano, my grandma loved my playing eventhough she was partially deaf... I finished 3 pages of the 3rd movement and got to that slow expressive part Update #11 (Tuesday/ 1st of june/ 2021): I still have 1 more page to finish the third movement but its all super slow lol, gonna start with "Appasionta" today and keep working on "pathetique" slowly on the side. I probably wont post any more updates on this video. It's been a fun and lovely journey, i really enjoyed this sonata, which is my first sonata ever. Cheers, -Nadeem
@@nadeemlo oh wow I for sure thought you’ve been playing longer lol that’s pretty impressive. I’ve been playing for about a year and 8 months and my teacher is about to assign me this piece. I’m 14
@@User_01273 sorry jesus but i lied... its not "a bit more" its 6 months more lol and im 15! Goodluck with your piano journey jesus! Do an "update" comment like mine, its fun seeing how long it takes you to finish the entire sonata
This sonata is AMAZING. It was the first sonata that i have learned every mov. Its simply wonderful the change of the first movement to the second and then the third. But my favorite one is Waldstein
Came here to hear this masterpiece after I heard from NCT that it was used as a sample for Golden Age (the adagio cantabile part). Beethoven was a genius and you covered this flawlessly woahhh
He was smaller then a manlet, shorter then someone who is 5``3 tall. And is said to have been terrible in every other activity that he ever tried, he even said it on his suicide letter, something like ´´music is the only thing i am good at``.
imagine living next to Beethoven when he was cooking this up making mistakes and revising them, then one night you come home to him finally playing the whole jam with all its ups and downs.
How on God’s green earth do you play those mordents so cleanly? Did you have a triple espresso? Only joking... I’ve watched your channel for awhile, your crisp articulations and dynamic control/phrasing are my favorite parts of your playing.
Me, who has played this song for 20+ years now: Hey, this guy is pretty good! Nice and clean Me, halfway through listening: There’s…there’s a REPEAT in there?!?! I literally never noticed it, and now I am absolutely flabbergasted and shook that I’ve just blown right past that every time. WTF 😂😂😂😂
Awesome performance, you’re a machine However, would like to advise, if it is at all possible, to disable mid-roll ads. Takes away from the experience for sure.
Incredible technically proficient and musically profound interpretation! I can't thank you enough for performing this - one of my favourite pieces - for us. Often times words can hardly express what a specific recording of a musical piece can mean in the heart of the person listening. You are truly a Traum!
Best rendition of Pathetique I ever heard. What I love about the video, contrary to flamingpiano 5th symph, fingers looks real and the feeling is Real. Thank you! I just subscribed
This piece is so beautiful, I mever thought I'd be able to learn it but I've been giving it a go on and off for the last while and I'm at about 2:30. I'm only hoping to learn the first movement, but I'm so happy. Edit: I moved onto a new project a month or so after this comment. I guess I got tired of practising the same thing for so long and lost the passion. Planning on coming back to it one day when I'm a little more capable :) Great piece though. Edit 2: coming back a year later. I know I'm ready for the piece but I relearned the first 2 pages and I'm just not sure if classical music is good for me lmao (or at least not this song). Brings out the more obsessive side of me ig.
Mi Sonata favorita de Beethoven, sin duda dolorosa, muy expresiva. Muy buena interpretación, muy virtuosa. Está obra me cautiva por su complejidad rítmica, melódica, y armónica, pero sobretodo emocional. Bethoveen la escribió para narrar su complicada situación, se estaba quedando sordo, y esto lo hacía sentir miserable, patético. Una obra llena de multitud de emociones. Sin duda mi favorita.
OH my.. this piece... I remember, when I was 11, I played the first movement and fell in love with Beethoven's music. Since than, I fell into the hole of romantism and I struggle to get out of it hehe
Amazing performance, very clearly defined notes not mushed together like many other performances. My request that would fit you best would be Liszt Reminiscences de norma (Tozer) a bit hard but beautiful.

It's "passionate" or "emotional." Not literally pathetic.
It was on a Keyboard Conversations program.
I'm gonna carefully assume that this is my favourite beethoven sonata
If you haven't listened to the Appassionata, specifically the 3rd movement, then you have not heard classical piano.
Beethoven sonata 30 movement 1 is beautiful too
And so is sonata 15 (pastoral) movement 1

My favorite it's the "hunt" so beautiful and each mouvement have an exeptional theme and she's very difficult (thé 2nd mouvement is very jumpy)i love hear it on fortepiano

Yep, that's the second subject for you. Usually it's more decorated than the first subject. :>
Correction: that is the bridge, not the second subject
@@goodluck1449 oh okay ! thanks for the correction, i somehow just discovered your original answer and liked it, as i wanted to re-listen to this masterpiece :)
This part reminds me vaguely about Bella Ciao.
This is the most amazing piece I could imagine. I'm so glad that at least 2.5 million people were able to hear it.
You are musician?
@@bernardetecarneiro9220 oh yeah, are you? Check out videos
This is definitely beethoven’s daily casual stretch for the fingers in the morning😂
I've been working on this piece for a few months now and I absolutely love it! One of my favorite works by Beethoven for solo piano
Beautiful rendition as always, I absolutely love how you used Beethoven’s dynamics in such an delightful manner!
oh rather
Currently doing Music GCSE, saw this as one of our set works and thought “why not…I’m gonna try learn this”
I already know I’m in for one long ride, wish me luck 👍
how's that going after a year?
How’d it go
How's it been going?
The first movement? The epitome of perfection! The second movement was lovely. I think this one is really up for a little bit of creative interpretation, and I personally would have played some spots more piano (but who am I to challenge Traum? lol). 10:40-11:32 section was the best in my opinion! The third movement was also amazing. I liked your choice of speed and the articulation was lovely. Amazing performance! :D
Even though this is obviously not nearly as long as other piano pieces, it's still amazing to me how people can just do performances of this length and still sound amazing. Awesome job on the interpretation as always!
Just fyi I'm pretty sure he just cut together 3 different performances into one video, that's why the screen goes black in between each movement. That being said I'm sure he could obviously play this in one sitting, and it is impressive
@@indianawesomeness that's a possibility but still impressive none the less
@@Trooman20 do u have instagram?
Finally I can listen all movement's in a single video on Spotify, thank you ☺️
😍
Adagio cantabile hits different after watching Takt op.Destiny
Try listening "over the rainbow"
와 이분은 진짜 잘 치신다...... 대체로 곡을 속도감 있게 치시네요 그런데도 음이 정확해서 존경스럽습니다♥
Back at 2 Million views! Thank you so much Traum for this excellent performance. This video was what lead me to eventually learn this piece 2 years later.
This is the first time I ever listened to the first movement of Pathetique Sonata.
Your interpretation is unique.
My favorite is the third movement, actually.
Congratulations TRAUM
.............AND THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE.
I play the piano for almost 10 years and i still cant play this masterpiece as good as it needs to be played
I played piano for 9 years and im still working on the first movement of this piece, wish me luck qwq
I learned how to play the piano Sincé I was kid, now I'm 67 and can't play this máster peace complete, only second movement. You need to práctica a lot of hours every day to play like this pianist.
Tengo 14 años y es todo un honor que esta obra maestra me haya permitido ganar un concurso nacional, definitivamente es la pieza que más difruto tocando y oyendo.
I am 14 years old and it is an honour that this masterpiece has allowed me to win a national competition, it is definitely the piece I enjoy playing and listening to the most.

Es una pieza muy hermosa, en el final del tercer movimiento sientes a Beethoven diciendo Pathetique 😂
Yo tmb tengo14
Que cool! Yo tengo 12 y estoy escuchando las sonatas de Beethoven para mi próxima clase de piano. Cuanto te tomo para aprender lo todo? Lo tienes memorizado?
This piece is crazy ! I love all the movements and it’s precily that piece who makes me love Beethoven so much (and believe Beethoven was an E.T ^^)
This is what you upload after playing the whole mephisto waltz with wearing a scream mask
What a legend.
The second movement is just hauntingly beautiful
Listen to Billy Joel’s song “This Night” it’s based off of that and Joel even gives credit. They sound very similar
Wtf, why does your style where you pronounce the melody so sharp fit the second movement so much?
Beautiful.
The 🐙 is everywhere
@@KaasIsLekker Since you find me everywhere, same goes for you xP
@@Zula_The_Squid 😂
Oh, hey Kait
@@Murcielag0scuro Hi Arch! :D
Practiced this piece for a year but still learning the first crosshand part of first movement shows how pathétique my piano skill was LOL
This isa college level piece, my piano teacher literally had this one piece to practice and to count for like 50% of her grade for the whole semester~ so definitely hard af :)
Невероятный канал, настоящий бриллиант!
Спасибо за эстетику, вы дарите вдохновение!
Thank you for this superb rendition of a classic.
Hey I'm learning this piece right now and I listen to your interpretations a lot. I will definitely take examples from your version. Thanks for uploading so much Traum.
Jeno Jando has a really awesome version as well
I started learning the second movement yesterday 😄
My teacher said i could finish it in a month or so
Wish me luck
Update #1: learned 3 lines so far. Loving this piece
Update #2: learned 2 and a half pages.
(Took a 2 week break from practicing because i had exams)
Update #3 (Friday/29th of January/ 2021): just finished the entire second movement🙂 I loved it. I'm gonna start the first movement in a couple of days! Wish me luck (again xD)
Update #4 ( Wednesday/ 10th of February/2021): finished the introduction of the first movement and started with the M.T
Update #5 ( Wednesday/ 24th of February/ 2021): finished the M.T yesterday and just started with the S.T (for some reason I didn't practice AT ALL for like a week that's why I'm behind schedule 😢)
Update #6 ( Wednesday/ 3rd of march/ 2021): finished the S.T but its still a little wonky. Just started with the (I forgot what its called, the part after the S.T) turns out the first movement is not difficult at all. It's just a bit fast, but if you can play it slowly you can play it quickly.
Update #7 (Thursday/ 11th of march/ 2021): Yeah... It's hard BECAUSE its fast. I memorized that fast part (4:08 until 4:40) but it doesn't sound good at all lol, it's too slow. Probably gonna take me a few days to play it in the right tempo.
Update #8 (Tuesday/ 30th of march/ 2021): Made that "hard" part sound good like two weeks ago but i forgot to update. I thought this was some advanced level sonate and that I'm a 15 yearold prodigy because i didnt think it was that hard, turns out i didn't think it's that hard BECAUSE it's NOT that hard lol. Anyways, I got to the second M.T part which has some new chords (i cant remember what its called). I have 2 pagea left to finish the 1st movement yay!
Update #9 (Tuesday/ 13th of april/ 2021): Finally finished the firat movement yay! (The last page is still a a bit wonky but i dont care). Just startes the 3rd movement 2 hours ago lol.
Update #9.5: I just uploaded the 2nd movement on my UA-cam channel :D
Update #10 (Friday/ 14th of may/ 2021): The piano i play is at my grandma's house... she died 3 days ago at 11:42 am... i dont really feel like playing at all... i cancelled my piano lessons for the next two weeks because i might've caught covid from my grandma before she passed away... idk what will happen now, but i wont quit playing the piano, my grandma loved my playing eventhough she was partially deaf... I finished 3 pages of the 3rd movement and got to that slow expressive part
Update #11 (Tuesday/ 1st of june/ 2021): I still have 1 more page to finish the third movement but its all super slow lol, gonna start with "Appasionta" today and keep working on "pathetique" slowly on the side. I probably wont post any more updates on this video. It's been a fun and lovely journey, i really enjoyed this sonata, which is my first sonata ever.
Cheers,

How long have you been playing piano?
@@User_01273 a bit more than a year
@@nadeemlo oh wow I for sure thought you’ve been playing longer lol that’s pretty impressive. I’ve been playing for about a year and 8 months and my teacher is about to assign me this piece. I’m 14
@@User_01273 sorry jesus but i lied... its not "a bit more" its 6 months more lol and im 15! Goodluck with your piano journey jesus! Do an "update" comment like mine, its fun seeing how long it takes you to finish the entire sonata
@@nadeemlo gosh this "story" took a really sad twist
This sonata is AMAZING. It was the first sonata that i have learned every mov. Its simply wonderful the change of the first movement to the second and then the third. But my favorite one is Waldstein
Чудесная музыка! Прекрасное исполнение! Браво!!!!!!
this is the best interpretation of Pathetique sonata I have ever heard. Beautiful playing by Traum
this song is somehow exactly how i feel. im dealing with a lot of problems right now and this song describes my life incredibly well.....
I commend how well you played this: exactly how I intended
Best rendition yet.
와 비창 2악장.. 제가 들어본 비창 2악장중에 제일 좋습니다 진짜..... the pathetique 2nd is best rendition i've heard
와... 감사합니다 🙏
Schönes Stück! Bravo Traum!
Development of first mvt is one of the most genuine things ever written.
Came here to hear this masterpiece after I heard from NCT that it was used as a sample for Golden Age (the adagio cantabile part). Beethoven was a genius and you covered this flawlessly woahhh
imagine living next to this guy
He was smaller then a manlet, shorter then someone who is 5``3 tall. And is said to have been terrible in every other activity that he ever tried, he even said it on his suicide letter, something like ´´music is the only thing i am good at``.
It would be only wonderfull
imagine living next to Beethoven when he was cooking this up making mistakes and revising them, then one night you come home to him finally playing the whole jam with all its ups and downs.
💀💀💀
The second movement is such a moving piece to learn as a beginner, love it.

How on God’s green earth do you play those mordents so cleanly? Did you have a triple espresso? Only joking...
I’ve watched your channel for awhile, your crisp articulations and dynamic control/phrasing are my favorite parts of your playing.
yo what are mordents
@@qalaphyll kind of like trills except for three notes, you can find em in the e flat section of the first movement
@@Trooman20 mordents are a tasty snack dont trust this fake nerd
@@jebsheep9576 pfft lmao
Me, who has played this song for 20+ years now: Hey, this guy is pretty good! Nice and clean
Me, halfway through listening: There’s…there’s a REPEAT in there?!?!
I literally never noticed it, and now I am absolutely flabbergasted and shook that I’ve just blown right past that every time. WTF 😂😂😂😂
Your tremolos are so clean
Such a beautiful piece and now I see why it took you some time to upload a video i mean it is 18 minutes long impressive 👍
This is very beautiful bravo!!
Good job and nice performance!
Awesome performance, you’re a machine
However, would like to advise, if it is at all possible, to disable mid-roll ads. Takes away from the experience for sure.
Gracias mil. Qué preciosa sonata e interpretación!🙏🌹🇲🇽
My favourite Beethoven sonata. Very well played. Thank you for this awesome rendition
Just recently I am done learning the second movement by heart, I absolutely love it
me2
It would be great if he does: beethoven complete sonatas ajajjs
Give him 2 days
It would be great if he does chopin complete piano sonatas
honestly my favorite interpretation of this piece, by anyone.
I play this ahah, do u have instagram?
Incredible technically proficient and musically profound interpretation! I can't thank you enough for performing this - one of my favourite pieces - for us. Often times words can hardly express what a specific recording of a musical piece can mean in the heart of the person listening. You are truly a Traum!
Adagio cantabile of Sonata No.8 is my most favorite part in the entire video! By the way, your video is great, I guess a lot of practices before that!
One of my favourite Beethoven sonatas. I like the first and third movements of this sonata.
Why you don't like slow movment it is fantastic
@@ramanamirabi2865 because it is in major and I like minor more.
Same, this is like the moonlights sonatas; 1 and 3 are very likable but 2nd doesn't exist.
@@pianoworld233I also like minors more
Best rendition of Pathetique I ever heard. What I love about the video, contrary to flamingpiano 5th symph, fingers looks real and the feeling is Real. Thank you! I just subscribed
Learning this piece while Traum is at 99.9k subs and refreshing to see if it goes to 100k
I like how you are basically a god to your community
Is one of my favorites pieces of Beethoven! Maravilloso Traum! 👏👏👏
Traum is so underrated. I’m inspired by this channel! Great job!
8:10 so this is the reinterpretation part for nct ‘golden age’ title
This was the piece that inspired me to learn piano. Every time I hear it I just think "Holy shit this is amazing," then listen to it again.
This piece is so beautiful, I mever thought I'd be able to learn it but I've been giving it a go on and off for the last while and I'm at about 2:30. I'm only hoping to learn the first movement, but I'm so happy.
Edit: I moved onto a new project a month or so after this comment. I guess I got tired of practising the same thing for so long and lost the passion. Planning on coming back to it one day when I'm a little more capable :)
Great piece though.
Edit 2: coming back a year later. I know I'm ready for the piece but I relearned the first 2 pages and I'm just not sure if classical music is good for me lmao (or at least not this song). Brings out the more obsessive side of me ig.
So beautiful performance 👍
Thanks!
Beethoven was a freak of nature!
Why?😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite piece by Beethoven, on my birthday! Thanks Traum!
Mi Sonata favorita de Beethoven, sin duda dolorosa, muy expresiva. Muy buena interpretación, muy virtuosa. Está obra me cautiva por su complejidad rítmica, melódica, y armónica, pero sobretodo emocional. Bethoveen la escribió para narrar su complicada situación, se estaba quedando sordo, y esto lo hacía sentir miserable, patético. Una obra llena de multitud de emociones. Sin duda mi favorita.
Tienes instagram amigo para aprender esta?
@@filliiiii7 como?
@@josex2192 tienes insta?
OH my.. this piece... I remember, when I was 11, I played the first movement and fell in love with Beethoven's music. Since than, I fell into the hole of romantism and I struggle to get out of it hehe
Imagine listening to the 2nd mov. And suddenly an add pops out. BTW you played that part fantastically.
And then you vowed never to buy that product.
Hate when that happens
literally happened to me as i read your comment
Breath taking performance
maravillosa pieza ❤ un genio increible
Wow~
Whole sonata!
I love it.
Thanks a lot.
Amazing performance, very clearly defined notes not mushed together like many other performances. My request that would fit you best would be Liszt Reminiscences de norma (Tozer) a bit hard but beautiful.
And not only that, but *blazing* fast. Probably the fastest I've ever heard movement 1. Love it.
