This is an exceptional rendition of the "Appassionata" Alex! In my view the best among the dozens I have listened to from well-known pianists .... Congrats!
Great job! this is probably my favorite sonata right now, and you played it on par with the professional recordings that i've heard. this is one of beethoven's hardest pieces, and you played it super well, congratulations!
What a performance and your technique is my envy! Superb and I'm so glad I discovered this. It's going to be on my playlists from here on out. Loved it!
Excellent interpretation. I can also see some valentina lisitsa inspiration in your playing dude ;) Appearently Val is your best idol. Mine too btw. Great pianist to inspire technically. However I think adding your own taste makes it much better cause everyone has their own touch and different tastes of the same piece. And i feel that power in you... Waiting new videos :D
@@dogukankaradag4690 Can't agree more!I love watching all his piano videos and he is really so talented in performing~This version is much better than the old version(although I like his old version too💕)
For the 3rd movement, I found it quite hard to play the left hand part from 16:46 to 16:56 when I tried to play faster. Some say it would be easier to play with crescendo-decrescendo as a phrase every 2 bars, while i heard others recommended some left hand exercises (e.g. Ernő Dohnányi exercise). May I know how did you practice for that section? Anyway, I really enjoyed your brilliant performance! Looking forward to your next videos!
Thank you Ho Nam! That part you mentioned is definitely one of the difficulty checkpoints of this movt. For me, I focus on two points while practicing the left hand double-note tremolo: 1. Rhythmic pattern I slightly put an accent on the strong beats when I play/practice. This helps structuring the evenness of the grouping of 4. 2. Finger movements Make a different finger movement in each alternative notes. i.e. On the F minor triad tremolo, my 2nd & 3rd fingers (which was pressing F and Ab keys) tends to pull back. And then on the octave C, my thumb and pinky push inwards back to the key. [You may observe it with a slow motion :P] That makes a fluent movement in overall. I'm not sure if I m doing good in giving advises but at least these are what I will do. Good luck in practicing! :)
@@pakyukwokalex3683 Thank you so much for the helpful advice! I didn't realize the finger movements could help improve the fluency before. I would definitely consider it during practice! You're a good teacher! ^_^
8:23 - 8:41 . . . have you ever thought of playing those arpeggio passages in the upper voice with right hand only? I would personally prefer playing them with single hand rather than splitting them between both hands. I think that adds more tension to the passage. The sheer flow and the fire of the Finale are mesmerising. Bravo! The Appassionata, together with the Pathetique, 'Moonlight', and Les Adieux, are four of my favourite Beethoven sonatas.
Now I need you to play this song without a warm up in the dead winter when your hands are cold with barely any practice for months on a tattered piano with messed up notes.
Really pleased I came across this superlative performance of Beethoven's most dramatic sonata.

Yes.
I could say a lot ...

Good observation! I did take some advantages from Lisitsa's interpretation, but i tried to be 'myself' in playing already lol
Dogukan Karadag:I'm so curious how you can observe other's inspiration in somebody's playing?😲
@@pakyukwokalex3683 You play flawless and better in some parts :))
@@christypoon5244 Just watching so many pianists 😅😅

Using both hands or single handed depends on the performance stability. So I chose to be the earlier one

Oh, I see.

Woww you want some tendons break?🫣
Do you find it harder to play piano with a mask on?
Yes definitely... The mask kept going into my eyes when i play :( But this is required to wear as i was in the academy
