    Lenin once said: "I know of nothing better than the Appassionata and could listen to it every day. What astonishing, superhuman music! It always makes me proud, perhaps with a childish naiveté, to think that people can work such miracles! … But I can’t listen to music very often, it affects my nerves...If I continue listening to it, I won't be able to carry on with the Revolution." In my opinion, one of the deepest and best examples that music can reach out to everyone.

    It’s crazy to think that Beethoven was writing master piece after master piece. Even if we look at Op. 50 - Op. 60 we have the Waldstein Sonata Op. 53, Eroica Symphony Op. 55, Appassionata Sonata Op. 57 and the 4th Piano Concerto Op. 58. How Beethoven managed to write such great music over and over again consistently throughout his life is a wonder to the world of art.

      @micoveliki8729 I know this is like four months late but no one has replied to you so I thought I would.
      Movement 2 - Theme and variations - Db Major
      11:05 - Theme Part 1.
      11:50 - Theme Part 2.
      12:42 - Variation 1 Part 1. Theme with syncopation
      13:22 - Variation 1 Part 2.
      14:06 - Variation 2 Part 1. The theme becomes more melodic and lyrical
      14:47 - Variation 2 Part 2.
      15:24 - Variation 3. For the first time in the sonata, there is joy. The theme takes on a sense of playfulness and remedy and while the joy isn't overbearing or anything, it does give the slight sense that there is still hope left. There are also no exact repeats in this variation
      16:29 - Variation 4. For the most part, with some minor changes such as the melody jumping up an octave at some points and the removal of the repeats, this variation is really just a repeat of the theme. It brings us home and gives a sense of comfort and resolution.
      17:19 - As the music winds down, it prepares for a cadence to end the movement in the tonic key of Db Major. But instead, Beethoven pulls one of the best tricks of this sonata. At first it seems the movement will end in a standard ii-V-I progression, perfectly cadencing the movement and ending it peacefully. But the V chord doesn't go to the tonic, instead, a rolled diminished 7th chord is played. The bliss and hope of the second movement is abruptly halted as mystery and tension takes over. The 7th chord is played again, now violently in fortissimo, and without pause, the music transitions into the finale.
      Finale - Sonata Form - F minor
      INTRODUCTION
      17:34 - The diminished 7th chord is repeated
      17:39 - A 16th note figure appears as it works its way down to the bass where theme 1 will be presented.
      EXPOSITION
      17:51 - Theme 1 in F minor. Theme 1 introduces two important motifs. Motif 1 is the change to Neapolitan harmony (using the key a half step above the tonic) at 17:55. And motif 2, is the dotted rhythm, first heard in the bass of the theme but is first heard quasi melodically above the theme at 17:58.
      18:05 - Theme 2 in F minor. Note motif 2 in the middle voice and then in the top voice at 18:17.
      18:29 - Transition, based on theme 1, going from F minor to C minor
      18:39 - Theme 3 (subordinate theme) in C minor. Note how the theme begins on Neapolitan Db (motif 1).
      18:55 - Theme 4 (cadential theme) in C minor. The 4th theme begins with using a canon version of theme 1 and then transitions to an echo like phrase at 19:01
      DEVELOPMENT
      19:14 - Theme 1 built from a diminished 7th chord
      19:21 - Theme 1 in Bb minor
      19:34 - A new, nervous theme in Bb minor.
      19:48 - Theme 1 in a cannon that goes from F minor to F# Major (motif 1), to diminished 7th harmony, to Bb minor.
      19:57 - Shift to C minor which sets up the cadenza
      20:03 - Cadenza using Neapolitan (motif 1) and diminished 7th harmony
      20:31 - The harmony has shifted to a dominant 7th chord preparing us for a return to F minor.
      RECAPITULATION
      20:37 - Theme 1 back in F minor with theme 2 following suit at 20:51
      21:15 - Transition going from F minor to, uh… F minor.
      21:24 - Theme 3 in F minor
      21:42 - Theme 4 in F minor
      21:51 - Here Beethoven does another neat trick. As the momentum and intensity builds you’d expect the movement to reach its climax but instead, it veers off to a different path and repeats the development and recapitulation as the music attempts to maintain control over itself.
      24:33 - Finally, after the repeat, the music begins to spin out of control, catalyzing into the coda.
      CODA
      24:39 - The tempo jumps to presto and a new, violent, dance of death theme is introduced.
      24:59 - Theme 1 at rapid speed, crawling up the keyboard.
      25:09 - Ending material
      25:17 - The music cascades down the keyboard, violently closing out the sonata in the darkness of F minor.

Because he wants you to see how the material is developed. Like a seamstress who says, Look at this seam, and look and this seam and look at THIS seam. LOOK at how it's made!

He's much better as a salesman and a "marketing-man", and for this he will not be remembered as a great pianist. If you want to listen very good versions of the Beethoven (and Mozart) sonatas, don't listen Barenboim.

    There is so much violence in Beethoven, which perhaps expresses the sufering of the composer.

    **MVT I**
    **ЭКСПОЗИЦИЯ**
    00:00 - Тема 1 (Обратите внимание на её минималистичный характер - арпеджио, разделённое в обеих руках на расстоянии двух октав, и использование неаполитанской гармонии, чтобы сразу же увести вас далеко от основной тональности)
    00:27 - Введение мотива судьбы в левой руке (Его основная природа - полутон вниз - подразумевает тональную структуру всей темы и сама по себе происходит от «вздыхающей» второй половины первой фразы темы 1 на 0:06)
    00:48 - Повтор темы 1
    01:03 - Переход. Обратите внимание на тревожную триоль, а также на заметное разрешение вниз на полутон на 01:06
    01:22 - Тема 2. Замечательно, что она основана на инверсии темы 1 - контраст, построенный на органическом единстве.
    01:37 - Переход. Обратите внимание на неаполитанскую гармонию на 1:40, которая снова разрешается вниз на полутон, а также на использование трилей (быстрое колебание между двумя нотами на полутон). Напряжение нарастает через продолжительную гамму на 1:50, перед резким переходным мотивом на 1:58, который снова содержит много неаполитанской гармонии и движения на полутон (например, мотив судьбы в левой руке на 2:03).
    **РАЗВИТИЕ**
    02:27 - Тема 1, с акцентом на второй половине первой фразы
    03:05 - Тема 1, получившая особенно драматическую последовательную обработку и модулирующая по большим терциям (E-C-Ab)
    03:34 - 2 Переходная тема
    04:05 - Тема 3, которая модулирует из Db мажор в Bb минор, Gb мажор, B минор и C мажор
    04:43 - Расширенное пребывание на уменьшённом септиме, напоминая о её использовании в начале на 0:38
    04:46 - Мотив судьбы, теперь глубоко агрессивный
    **РЕКАПИТУЛЯЦИЯ**
    04:57 - Тема 1. Никакая не обычная рекапитуляция, и повторение темы 1 здесь сразу показывает, почему: открытие движения было бедным, суровым, зловещим; но сохранение триолей в левой руке полностью меняет ситуацию, придавая теме 1 пульсирующее основание, угрожающее напряжение. И есть ещё одна поразительная особенность: гармония нарушена. Вся идея развития заключается в создании гармонического напряжения до грандиозного возвращения тоники в рекапитуляции: но хотя мы находимся в фа миноре, левая рука отказывается присоединиться к веселью, упорно оставаясь на доминанте.
    05:34 - Тема 1, F мажор
    05:57 - Переход
    06:16 - Тема 2, также в F мажор
    06:32 - Переход
    **КОДА**
    07:19 - Тема 1, модулирующая, пока не приводит непосредственно к
    07:31 - Теме 2, которая сама модулирует в драматическую каденцию на 7:48, начинающуюся с неаполитанской.
    08:22 - Мотив судьбы, который замедляется и затихает, пока вдруг не превращается в огромную какофонию на 8:54.
    08:55 - Необычный пассаж, где тема 2 поглощается настроением темы 1: тональность теперь явно фа минор, тёплые триоли становятся резкими, лирическая мелодия холодной.
    09:09 - Драматическая фигурация
    09:21 - Тема 1 поднимается и опускается по клавиатуре, затихая в одном из очень редких ppp Бетховена. Это не окончание движения, а скорее своего рода смерть.
    **MVT II**
    09:45 - Тема. Как и тема первого движения, она тоже довольно минималистична. Несмотря на то, что это, по сути, движение тема и вариации, в течение всего движения эта тема никогда не будет слышна вне своей основной тональности Db мажор.
    11:26 - Вариация 1. Нежная синкопация
    12:52 - Вариация 2. Лирические шестнадцатые, подразумевающие мелодический контур, в то время как левая рука (в начале) просто предоставляет корни аккордов. Более красивая, чем должна быть.
    14:09 - Вариация 3. Тема начинает звучать, возможно, немного возвышенно, немного светло.
    15:11 - Вариация 4. На самом деле это не вариация. Просто тема повторяется с октавным смещением. Движение заканчивается на уменьшённой септиме.
    **MVT III**
    **ЭКСПОЗИЦИЯ**
    16:13 - Уменьшенный септимовый аккорд повторяется
    16:17 - Шестнадцатые входят, сначала почти деликатно, но нарастают в бурный поток
    16:29 - Тема 1. Обратите внимание на расширенное использование канонической имитации и неаполитанской гармонии.
    **РАЗВИТИЕ**
    17:48 - Прежде чем войдёт Тема 2 (!), мы получаем развитие Темы 1.
    18:08 - И вот наша Тема 2, резко синкопированный фигура
    18:27 - Переход
    18:34 - Каденция, очень похожая на ту, что в первом движении - расширенное пребывание на гармонии уменьшённой септимы, начиная с неаполитанского фрагмента.
    19:11 - РЕКАПИТУЛЯЦИЯ
    **КОДА**
    23:04 - Гортанная, яростно мускулистая тема, повторяемая сначала в фа миноре, а затем в ля-бемоль мажоре
    23:24 - Тема 1, исполняемая на предельной скорости
    23:34 - Заключительная каденция

      At the moment, you don't get it, that's why. The Appassionata is a very complex work of Beethoven's. Perhaps if you listened more, you might be a little less inclined to call it boring. Listen to the last movement to Mozart's Jupiter Symphony at least once and see if it doesn't get to you. And don't think of it as wall-paper music. It should be more easily accessible to you. After that, then move to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata - especially the last movement.
