of all classical masters, Beethoven evolves the most. year to year, his style changes completely. old baroque structures revived, new harmonic languages implemented, and yet it ALWAYS somehow sounds "like Beethoven" due to the jolting dynamic contrasts, expanding forms, drama, and signature motives
Have you listened to his Piano Sonata No. 11 in Bb Major? I was surprised at how “backwards-looking” it is, even as it sits on the doorstep of his middle period. It’s like he had step back to perfect the Second Viennese piano sonata before he could continue his sprint towards the future.
@@DeflatingAtheism Beethoven explored music beyond classical, however he often went backwards. His eight symphony is a superb, albeit retro classical symphony.
In "Rage over a lost penny" you can notice the birth of what made Beethoven "Beethoven": his fury, his passion, his greatness, and that powerful bass progression over the cute and light melody; just the like the 3rd, the 5th and parts of his 7th symphony (specially the third movement). What a great mind!!! Viva Beethoven ❤️ Thanks for the video.
To me it sounds like rage over a penny is about how silly it is to be mad over a penny. He's a great man, but it's also a rather silly song by a silly man with a sense of humor.
As a guy who learned most of his classical music from Bugs Bunny episodes.. I am still amazed at how these composers so skillfully use each hand so independently of one another and create such harmony and rhythm.
When I was eleven, I wrote a little song, similar to hot cross buns, and was so proud of myself. Listening to his earlier musical compositions, I feel both awe, and my newfound crippling self esteem😅
lol you’re comparing yourself to arguably the best or 2nd best composer of all time. I’m sure your “little song” was lovely and made your loved ones feel great pride. Cheers!
people come and go into this world. Some left with trails of destruction and death, most are just passing by, but a rare group will leave such great contribution. Beethoven is one of such positive people that graced the world with his talent. Much appreciated!
These chronologically-arranged videos provide great insights into the composers whose works are presented - especially for their earlier/youthful periods which we all too often overlook or discount. Thanks!
"Even beethoven looked serious throughout his self-pictures, he is delightful in insides." That was a good sentence. His last musical thought as his last requiem always settle his death good. Unlike Mozart, always having the vibe but on a sorrow look at death which he wrote "unfinished" lacrimosa. Schubert isnt excluded any of all, his "Unfinished Symphony" was full of witherness. Like Mozart, his symphony was unfinished like a requiem. Back to Beethoven, person whom never upsets welcoming his end. Or he thought that,"Every goodness must come to an end."
Mozart was the Kurt Cobain of classical music. You could feel his inner battle of being torn apart by his father in his later pieces. Which is why he sounds like he was struggling with death. He's still fighting his father until the very end.
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤❤
One evening in Vienna, Ludwig van Beethoven was invited to a grand banquet hosted by Countess Thun, a prominent patron of the arts. The room was filled with nobility and high society, all eager to hear the great composer perform. Beethoven, however, had little patience for the aristocracy's pretensions. As the evening wore on, whispers circulated about Beethoven's defiance and eccentricity. Sensing their condescension, Beethoven decided to make a bold statement. Without a word, he walked over to the grand piano and began to play. His fingers moved with fiery intensity, producing a piece so powerful and emotional that the room fell into a stunned silence. The music was unlike anything the guests had ever heard-raw, passionate, and filled with a sense of both triumph and torment. As he played, Beethoven seemed to channel his own struggles and triumphs into the music, creating an electrifying atmosphere that captivated everyone. When the final note echoed into silence, Beethoven stood up, looked around at the astonished faces, and simply said, "For those who understand." He then walked out of the room, leaving the guests in awe of his genius and the depth of emotion he had conveyed. This impromptu performance not only silenced his critics but also solidified Beethoven's reputation as a composer who could convey the deepest of human emotions through his music, forever changing the way people experienced and appreciated musical art.
When listening to this I can definitely hear that from the ages of 11 to 20 he was still very much finding himself musically. What he was composing wasn't bad, it just didn't feel or sound like "Beethoven". But by his mid 20's he seemed to finally come fully into his own and develop that fire that I personally love Beethoven in Beethoven's music.
You can tell by when he was 43, he found it hard to adapt to his loss of hearing. But he definitely leant how to adapt shortly after. He really was a true genius. Just by watching this, it was like watching a mini musical adaptation of a journal. It give you such a real insight of his progression as a musician and how his style evolves throughout his life. I really enjoyed this clip thank you 👏 👏 👏
he began losing his hearing at 28, he developed tinnitus first that left him with a constant ringing in his ears and you notice in the music of his 30's he began to use more upper register notes to help him cope. As time goes on his music takes on a lower register as he can no longer hear the upper notes. By the time he was mid 40's he was completely dead and the only reason for it was that he was a slave to fashion he began using the white face makeup that contained ever increasing amounts of lead in them, The lead caused his deafness and his mental instability.
I will say that the midi makes that piece sound bad but it's a great piece in of itself. It sounds like the piece is unsure of itself in this video, which is where I think you got the idea for saying he didn't really know how to adapt. Don't wanna assume too much but I wanted to clarify yknow?
Repent and trust in Jesus. He's the only way. We deserve Hell because we've sinned. Lied, lusted stolen, etc. But God sent his son to die on the cross and rise out of the grave. We can receive forgiveness from Jesus. Repent and put your trust in him. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤😊❤❤
Something a lot of people actually don't know it that by around age 28-30 Beethoven had lost his hearing. He was a true master making songs without even hearing, but knowing they would sound marvelous.
Pretty much everyone knows. And there is nothing special about this. All the masters could hear music in their heads, just like you can. Learn about insipids.
@@espressogirl68able you're correct, they could hear music in their heads just like you can feel a stick up your anus. Maybe don't come out of the basement just to insult people who are sharing fun facts, regardless of if you've already heard said fact.
Correction, he was _losing_ his hearing. Even in his last years, when he was “totally deaf”, he could still hear low-pitch and percussive sounds. People who knew him report his slamming his hands on the walls and furniture to the music in his head.
Beethoven was highlight creative into his late 40's and early 50's. For you older musicians, it's a reminder that sometimes, your best work is deep into your life.
What a rebel. I think Beethoven really tried to break the piano in his day. From soft, to HARD, from sensefull to INSANE. Here I come, bang in your face. Genius and revolutionary. He did not want to be ordinary.
Awesome stuff! Love the one with Mozart as well. I’m sure you have some idea’s for who’s next but I’m sure many - like myself - would love to see this for Bach!
I consider myself fairly knowledgable about Beethoven, and I was surprised to learn his Op 111- the last piano sonata he wrote- was completed before the Ninth Symphony, which I had considered essentially the gateway of his late period. The extreme hermeticism of the second movement of that sonata reminds me of the eccentricity of his Op. 135 string quartet- music that was written- as he said, for the future, and not for his own time.
Can't decide and haven't fully and thoroughly listened to all of them, but some that would classify would be (not ordered): Sonata 14th Sonata 17th Sonata 21st Sonata 27th Sonata 31st Sonata 32nd Symphony N°5 Mvts. 1 & 3 Symphony N°6 Mvt. 1 Symphony N°9 Mvt. 2
Moonlight sonata act3 is absolutely the favorite among his craft. It is very, extremely emotional. maybe the moonlight sonata was the first song he actually wrote by himself. usually in childhood, parents affects their musical performance
My favorites: 0:28 Rondo in C Major 1:20 Rage over a Lost Penny 3:20 Moonlight Sonata Mvt. 3 5:05 Symphony No.5 5:31 Fur Elise 7:27 hammerklavier 9:09 Ode to Joy "Symphony No.9" 9:45 Letzer Musikalischer Gedanke
By the time Beethoven was 28 he was the best composer of all time. When he was 30 he invented a new style unmatched, unequaled and not imitated to this day
@@espressogirl68able I'm not an expert on classical as I am with other genres but I have been listening for almost 30 years. Where is your credential? Do you have any composer to recommend?
It is very interesting to me to listen to his emotional evolution through his music over the years. he start light and chirpy, as a small child usually is. As he gets a little older his tones become deeper but still with that lightful-ness of youth with am anticipation of things to come. The prospect of love eternal. Even Rage over a Lost Penny is light and trill, almost as if he finds the experience less angering and more amusing. Why worry over such trivi9al matters?.. at 26 his childhood is squarely behind him and I think we begin to hear the first true 'change' of young Ludwig into a more mature Beethoven; the music reveals an intimate glimpse into a mind who is, perhaps for the first time, thinking about the future. This tune seems, to me at least, to be a little more wary and cautious, reflective of that place between youth and innocence lost. His music at this point takes a darker, more frustrated tone. The Viennese Classic period was pretty much at its peak at the turn of the century. By now newer, younger composers were coming out with cloned styles of the greats such as Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn as music moved from primarily being written for the churches to expand in to the realm of public enjoyment. This meant that the music of these clones were becoming more popular and widespread. Perhaps this led to a sense of frustration in Beethoven, et al. Maybe that frustration reveled itself in his music. Or, perhaps, he was becoming more aware that his hearing wasn't as good as it used to be... Maybe none of this is true, but we can still hear that cheeriness of youth slipping away by the time Beethoven is in his mid to late twenties. Moonlight Sonata is one of my all-time favorite pieces despite evoking feelings of depression and anger. The 1st movement reminds me of a man coming to the realization that nothing lasts forever. As he looks back on his life his vision is perhaps filled with images of his childhood; a boy who would be dragged out of bed by his father when he came home drunk just to force Ludwig to play. What joy could possibly be found in that? A desperate sadness and a longing to be free from the oppression of the ivory keys, with no one to confide in or express how he feels. The 1st movement is pure sorrow and longing. The 2nd movement is an answer to that sorrow. It reminds me of a daydream where life is better, where he can just BE himself without a drunken father leering over him. Then the 3rd movement. That daydream is shattered by reality. This piece is pure frustration and anger. Resentment. He mocks the music because it is the music which chains him to this unfortunate life. Every part of this piece is a series of questions and answers being asked and answered over and over again, never changing. Never resolved. He's fully trapped in this life and he knows it now. Nearly every piece of music to follow is tainted with that same mocking frustration. Even Ode to Joy, seen as one of the most triumphant pieces of music in history is, in my opinion, LVB basically screaming, spittle-mouthed and flashing eyes at the audience "THERE! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!" As fast-paced and bright as some of his following works are, you can still hear the vibrant undertones of sadness and frustration. All except one.... Für Elise. Many believe this to be a love letter from Beethoven to the woman he loved, although her true identity has never been confirmed. The piece is pure emotional torture; as if he loved her from afar but, for whatever reason, never dared to get close. Maybe she was out of reach, possibly already married or of a completely different social standing, but if you listen to this piece carefully, you do not feel love. You feel longing - that reaching out for something that lies just beyond your grasp. A heart which aches but can never be soothed. It's not about love. It's about unrequited love. A love that he probably carried with him until his death. Anyway, that's my emotional take on his music. Ludwig van Beethoven has always fascinated me because his music was the first to ever give me an emotional experience when listening. It opened a sense in me that allowed me, I feel, to 'see' beyond the music composition and in a way have a conversation with the composer. Well, maybe not a conversation wherein I take part - more like eavesdropping on the very personal and innermost thoughts of the composer. The only other piece that has affected me in such a way was Mozart's Lacrimosa. That piece is emotional torture as well but for an entirely different reason...
Beethoven died too early, it is true, but his late works give the sense of having arrived at a destination. The Ninth Symphony, the Op. 111 piano sonata, and the Op. 131 string quartet all feel like capstones of their respective forms in their particular historical contexts. If you want Beethoven’s Tenth symphony, Mahler wrote it ten times over, and kept going bigger bigger bigger… but not necessarily better. In truth, I sort of feel that if Beethoven were given another decade, he would have broken with common practice harmony and started writing something that sounds more like Messiaen.
Beethoven lived long enough to pick up two periods of history, in the case of Classicism and Romanticism (he practiced the musical style of Mozart's time as he practiced the musical style of Chopin's time), therefore, and that is why he is called a transitional composer, because he used both styles of each period. Now, what I didn't know is that the musical transition started in the beginning of the 19th century and I had never heard that transition style either, it's a little strange. But what left me confused is the new style of the period of romanticism that started to emerge in the beginning of the 19th century, whose, in architecture, clothing fashion and painting, classicism lasts until more or less 1815, the period of classicism is accepted that it ends between 1810 and 1815.
Music is always a “lagging indicator” in broad movements that encompass all of the arts. From the Baroque to Classicism to Romanticism to Expressionism to Modernism and to Post-Modernism, it’s always visual arts in the vanguard and music offering some equivalent years later.
Could you do one for Franz Liszt? I can help you gather the pieces together, he composed very influential works that opened the door to the impressionist era
I almost feel this video would have been better focusing strictly on his piano works. In the genres of Beethoven’s output, the symphonies are concentrated in his second period, and the greatest string quartets are concentrated in his late period, but the piano sonatas provide the true through-line of Beethoven’s output from his early to late periods (and there’s not a stinker in the bunch!)
The fact that you included "Letzter Musikalischer Gedanke" fills me with happiness, is this the original transcription by Diabelli? If so, how/where you made/found the midi? If you have a sheet, can you pass me the link?
I've heard a lot of these but I didn't know that Beethoven played them 😅😅 I have a strange feeling, a combination of feeling stupid, discovering something you've been looking for for decades 😅😅 I wish I would have known earlier that these are Beethoven's works 🥲 I have heard them almost everywhere, street, TV, radio 🥲🥲
Time to honor the evolution of Beethoven's music. What's your favorite work by him?

ベートーベンは、本当に凄いですよね。順風満帆でない人生の苦悩のようなものも感じ取る事ができます。ピアノソナタ月光が私は一番好きなのですが、第一章だけ聞いても「あれ？これはひょっとして、恋の曲なのでは？」と思えますが、第三章まで通して聞くと確信に変わります。よくこんなに歌詞も入ってない曲で、愛する人を讃えつつ、暖かく柔らかなだけではない切ない、心が張り裂けそうな気持ちの表現ができるなと思いました。画家だとゴッホが好きですが、どうやら私は気持ちをストレートに、情熱的に表現する人に弱いみたいです。

Beautiful!! Can you do Chopin next, please???
He just uploaded one!
@@icyiyes4846 thanks!
@Icy iYes, yes I know!😃
@@gillsnotlora ofc 👍
Imagine him watching this video. A lifetime of brilliance and hard work only to be broken down into 10 minutes. We've come a long way.
Beethoven really sad😂 broken life into onle 10
you can clearly feel both classicism and romanticism…. What a legend!
My fav genius at the notes.
Enlightening.
Next is Chopin plz
Cho pin đi tôi agree
This was awesome. Would LOVE Chopin ❤️ as well.
I second this
Yes plz chopen
Chopin did not live that long. Sadly.
What's really fun about these videos is how early you can see the distinctive styles of the composers show up.
This guy is sick, when is his next album dropping??
Nice one!
💀
Fr 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Unfortunately,not anytime soon :(
Damn he dead 💀
RIP to a great legend who never failed to pleasure our ears
I love how we get to his progression as a composer
What a rebel. I think Beethoven really tried to break the piano in his day. From soft, to HARD, from sensefull to INSANE. Here I come, bang in your face. Genius and revolutionary. He did not want to be ordinary.
Awesome stuff! Love the one with Mozart as well. I’m sure you have some idea’s for who’s next but I’m sure many - like myself - would love to see this for Bach!
I consider myself fairly knowledgable about Beethoven, and I was surprised to learn his Op 111- the last piano sonata he wrote- was completed before the Ninth Symphony, which I had considered essentially the gateway of his late period. The extreme hermeticism of the second movement of that sonata reminds me of the eccentricity of his Op. 135 string quartet- music that was written- as he said, for the future, and not for his own time.
If any piece would be a “gateway” to his late period it would certainly be the Hammerklavier
Beethoven was bold but also represented the advancements and innovations of the musical periods he was living through.
So influenced by Mozart at a younger age! How fascinating!
You can hear the madness in this man.
I think Liszt would be a good composer if you decide to do another one. He changed very much through out his life.
The legend has commented
@@corneliuscornellcornwall3188 Nice to see you here.
The ONLY musician who could outdo Mozart during his era.
yeah that would’ve been amazing
Symphony #5 and Fur elise my favorite ❤

Moonlight sonata act3 is absolutely the favorite among his craft. It is very, extremely emotional.
maybe the moonlight sonata was the first song he actually wrote by himself. usually in childhood, parents affects their musical performance
That’s probably my second favourite Beethoven piece my first being appassionata 3rd movement
he is just such an incredible man, amazing works of art. MASTER of piano. every pianist should look up to him 😊❤
I literally got goosebumps on the Piano Sonata No. 27 in E minor. How could he create such beautiful melodies even when he's deaf?
My favorites:
0:28 Rondo in C Major
1:20 Rage over a Lost Penny
3:20 Moonlight Sonata Mvt. 3
5:05 Symphony No.5
5:31 Fur Elise

Hi Beethoven
The visual representation enlightens the novice of the complexity of his music. Wow ♥️🙏♥️🙏
The way his childhood music pieces were hugely influenced by WA Mozart in his early years. Grown up in between classical and romantic music eras.
Well classical musicians.. always like to learn from one another.
By the time Beethoven was 28 he was the best composer of all time. When he was 30 he invented a new style unmatched, unequaled and not imitated to this day
I see that you are new to classical music.
@@espressogirl68able I'm not an expert on classical as I am with other genres but I have been listening for almost 30 years. Where is your credential? Do you have any composer to recommend?
Bach over anybody and everybody in my opinion. Piano-wise, Chopin is better.
It is very interesting to me to listen to his emotional evolution through his music over the years. he start light and chirpy, as a small child usually is. As he gets a little older his tones become deeper but still with that lightful-ness of youth with am anticipation of things to come. The prospect of love eternal. Even Rage over a Lost Penny is light and trill, almost as if he finds the experience less angering and more amusing. Why worry over such trivi9al matters?.. at 26 his childhood is squarely behind him and I think we begin to hear the first true 'change' of young Ludwig into a more mature Beethoven; the music reveals an intimate glimpse into a mind who is, perhaps for the first time, thinking about the future. This tune seems, to me at least, to be a little more wary and cautious, reflective of that place between youth and innocence lost.
His music at this point takes a darker, more frustrated tone. The Viennese Classic period was pretty much at its peak at the turn of the century. By now newer, younger composers were coming out with cloned styles of the greats such as Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn as music moved from primarily being written for the churches to expand in to the realm of public enjoyment. This meant that the music of these clones were becoming more popular and widespread. Perhaps this led to a sense of frustration in Beethoven, et al. Maybe that frustration reveled itself in his music. Or, perhaps, he was becoming more aware that his hearing wasn't as good as it used to be...
Maybe none of this is true, but we can still hear that cheeriness of youth slipping away by the time Beethoven is in his mid to late twenties.
Moonlight Sonata is one of my all-time favorite pieces despite evoking feelings of depression and anger. The 1st movement reminds me of a man coming to the realization that nothing lasts forever. As he looks back on his life his vision is perhaps filled with images of his childhood; a boy who would be dragged out of bed by his father when he came home drunk just to force Ludwig to play. What joy could possibly be found in that? A desperate sadness and a longing to be free from the oppression of the ivory keys, with no one to confide in or express how he feels. The 1st movement is pure sorrow and longing.
The 2nd movement is an answer to that sorrow. It reminds me of a daydream where life is better, where he can just BE himself without a drunken father leering over him.
Then the 3rd movement. That daydream is shattered by reality. This piece is pure frustration and anger. Resentment. He mocks the music because it is the music which chains him to this unfortunate life. Every part of this piece is a series of questions and answers being asked and answered over and over again, never changing. Never resolved. He's fully trapped in this life and he knows it now. Nearly every piece of music to follow is tainted with that same mocking frustration. Even Ode to Joy, seen as one of the most triumphant pieces of music in history is, in my opinion, LVB basically screaming, spittle-mouthed and flashing eyes at the audience "THERE! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!"
As fast-paced and bright as some of his following works are, you can still hear the vibrant undertones of sadness and frustration.
All except one....
Für Elise. Many believe this to be a love letter from Beethoven to the woman he loved, although her true identity has never been confirmed. The piece is pure emotional torture; as if he loved her from afar but, for whatever reason, never dared to get close. Maybe she was out of reach, possibly already married or of a completely different social standing, but if you listen to this piece carefully, you do not feel love. You feel longing - that reaching out for something that lies just beyond your grasp. A heart which aches but can never be soothed. It's not about love. It's about unrequited love. A love that he probably carried with him until his death.
Anyway, that's my emotional take on his music. Ludwig van Beethoven has always fascinated me because his music was the first to ever give me an emotional experience when listening. It opened a sense in me that allowed me, I feel, to 'see' beyond the music composition and in a way have a conversation with the composer. Well, maybe not a conversation wherein I take part - more like eavesdropping on the very personal and innermost thoughts of the composer. The only other piece that has affected me in such a way was Mozart's Lacrimosa. That piece is emotional torture as well but for an entirely different reason...
he is just such an incredible man no one can describe his skill level
I am loving this series!
i liked it when he was 11 and 39 and 53
id give some of my years to him. just to hear more of the work he could have written
Beethoven died too early, it is true, but his late works give the sense of having arrived at a destination. The Ninth Symphony, the Op. 111 piano sonata, and the Op. 131 string quartet all feel like capstones of their respective forms in their particular historical contexts. If you want Beethoven’s Tenth symphony, Mahler wrote it ten times over, and kept going bigger bigger bigger… but not necessarily better. In truth, I sort of feel that if Beethoven were given another decade, he would have broken with common practice harmony and started writing something that sounds more like Messiaen.
He has three arms.
Four
Please do liszt next he lived for a long time so I think it would be a cool video. Especially because his music changed soo much throughout the years.
Loved it, thank you, also for Mozart
11 years old and he drippin in heat and having music bangers
3:20
Moonlight sonata, by Beethoven is also played by arima kousei lead character of your lie in april
Beethoven lived long enough to pick up two periods of history, in the case of Classicism and Romanticism (he practiced the musical style of Mozart's time as he practiced the musical style of Chopin's time), therefore, and that is why he is called a transitional composer, because he used both styles of each period.
Now, what I didn't know is that the musical transition started in the beginning of the 19th century and I had never heard that transition style either, it's a little strange.
But what left me confused is the new style of the period of romanticism that started to emerge in the beginning of the 19th century, whose, in architecture, clothing fashion and painting, classicism lasts until more or less 1815, the period of classicism is accepted that it ends between 1810 and 1815.
Music is always a “lagging indicator” in broad movements that encompass all of the arts. From the Baroque to Classicism to Romanticism to Expressionism to Modernism and to Post-Modernism, it’s always visual arts in the vanguard and music offering some equivalent years later.
Your lie in April has driven me here and it’s gorgeous.
Finally an appreciation of “Rage over a lost penny”
I like your talent and skills, Keep on going!
Такие таланты я ещё не ожидала,молодцы.😊😊😊😊
what
Do one for Chopin, these videos are priceless
You gotta do this for every composer!
I love Symphony No. 9.❤❤❤❤ My favorite music.🥰 The Fouga-like counterpoint of this symphony is so cool.
9:09 Liszt : "Am I a joke to you ?"
Also 5th symphony
only weebs like Liszt
i can't wait for you evolution of hans zimmer. he's my fav!
He was one of the greatest composers but reached his final form at the age of 47 years by composing of the hardest piece "HAMMERKLAVIER SONATA".
So my level as a 38yo amateur musician is around 10yo Beethoven, good to know
How u doin in life bro
When art was wordless...
Sonata #17 - this is absolut Masnerpiece!!!!
Wow, Beethoven mastered Guitar Hero before it’s release
Outstanding 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽 vedio, thank you!!!
What a versatile and unconventional Beethoven was 🌸💮
Something to keep in mind while watching this video: Beethoven was totally deaf at the age of 44.
2:12 Sounds like Moonlight sonata
Fr
So does 3:18
@@thenotsookayguy because it is lol its the 3rd movement
@@Naeromusic wow really
it's not uncommon for composers to recycle their own material. Haydn did it a bunch
I like the concept!
I absolutely recommend listening to the whole Sonata 32.
Particularly for the second movement, which is drastically different from the first in tone and character!
This stuff is so hard to comprehend it’s so impressive
Could you do one for Franz Liszt? I can help you gather the pieces together, he composed very influential works that opened the door to the impressionist era
Amazing video!!!
I love my Betoven🎉quá hay
What a cool idea for a video series! Thank you.
Bro practices 24 hours a day 😭
u mean 40? 🤪
You mean 100😂
back then there really wasnt anything else to do than just create music . lmao
No exagere. Hay músicos brillantes que practican 3 o 4 horas no más.
ショパンの動画も拝見しましたが、ショパンは早熟でベートーヴェンは大器晩成な感じですね。並べて聞くと30歳辺りから一気に進化していくのが良く分かりますね。
3:20 way to fast
Put it on 2x speed it’s crazy💀
Damn this was AWESOME! reminds me of that old video game ROCK BAND
Beethoven es increíble.
I know
Wow thank you.
By 55 he had just about got the hang of it...😁
Quando ele era jovem a melodia era alegre,quando vai ficando mais velho fica sombria e amarga
You mean dark and sweet
I like 53. Yerar old
What about fur elise its the most played piano song ever.
So Beautifull music write just Ludwig van Beethoven. His best compositor! My soul fly...❤
sad you skipped his 3rd symphony. that work was grand on the schemes of Beethoven's growth in many ways
I almost feel this video would have been better focusing strictly on his piano works. In the genres of Beethoven’s output, the symphonies are concentrated in his second period, and the greatest string quartets are concentrated in his late period, but the piano sonatas provide the true through-line of Beethoven’s output from his early to late periods (and there’s not a stinker in the bunch!)
I❤moonlight sonata😊😅
OMG same! 💯♥️
Can you please do Chopin, Liszt, and Debussy, please?
Music of Beethoven from 😊-> 🤔😱->😓 It was incredible 👍👍:)
The fact that you included "Letzter Musikalischer Gedanke" fills me with happiness, is this the original transcription by Diabelli? If so, how/where you made/found the midi? If you have a sheet, can you pass me the link?
I've heard a lot of these but I didn't know that Beethoven played them 😅😅 I have a strange feeling, a combination of feeling stupid, discovering something you've been looking for for decades 😅😅 I wish I would have known earlier that these are Beethoven's works 🥲 I have heard them almost everywhere, street, TV, radio 🥲🥲
