Beethoven - Sonata No 8 'Pathetique' (Adagio Cantabile)

This is the 2nd movement of the Pathetique sonata from Ludwig van Beethoven. I performed this after 2 years of learning to play the piano.
It took me more than 6 months to lead this song to this stage. The most difficult was playing legato and exposing the higher notes from the chords. Needless to say, the performance is much beyond what I wanted it to be, but with time I hope to improve this piece even more. The current result I leave solely for your judgment.

Absolutely Perfect, just the first 30 seconds had me in tears, but dont tell anyone lol, im havin one of those classical days!!! Keep playing, you sound like a pro, unbelievable how far you've come in such a short time, its inspiring.

Thanks for warm words. Moonlight Sonata is a great masterpiece, and definitely on my list. Currently I had to pause my learning (for 3-4 months) but will definitely get back to it as soon as I can. Good lock with Nocturne! Cheers

Beautifully done, and the recording was clear and flawless.

Many thanks for feedback ;) Good ear to catch the mistakes - indeed, I am aware there are many of them :) Now - a year later, I play it completely differently. I'm still in the learning stage (and will be for a long time) - but after finishing 3 new pieces I am planning to re-record new versions, so hope the difference should be clear ;)

Great rendition!! I've been working on this song for years, but still have trouble with the quick phrases on the right hand. You've given me an idea of how they should be played! :) Beautifully done~
