It appears to be a standing discussion - should these be included as equals to the other sonatas or not. There are arguments for both sides, but I don't think it hurts them to say that there is some distance up to the greater Beethoven. There's a nice lecture on this sonata by Andras Schiff where he says that compared to Clementi and the likes, this is "pure gold" :D ua-cam.com/video/C6g2-XOcgvU/v-deo.html
@@SonataSecrets I don’t think there is any debate about Opus 49 and Beethoven himself was absolutely clear why the two ‘sonates faciles’ should *not* be included in the canon of his 30 sonatas; he told us exactly why. (No 1 is better than No 2). Andras Schiff is normally a brilliant presenter whom I admire very much; I cannot think what got into him with that apology for the trivia of Opus 49 No 2 which is by far the silliest talk he has ever given. Opus 49 (like the juvenile sonatas WoO 47) should be relegated to the status of an Appendix to the sonatas.
I love your analysis style. You make the pieces come alive and you add so much meaning. I wish you would always play the complete piece at the end of the analysis.
I'm glad to find out that it was written 10 yrs earlier. I had always wondered why these simple sonatas were so late.I do find them to be more balanced and mature than the opus 2 pieces, less trying to break the mold and more going along with the tradition. Your suggestion that he wrote it for students makes a lot of sense. Mvmt 2 is especially nice in this one.
It is a piece which allows to quite easily ruin the musical value. It needs more than students may think, and it is a good foundation if played well (also technically), especially in a faster tempo.
Mozart’s comparable ‘sonada facile’ (ugh!) has an Italian title ‘sonata facile’ with the latter word pronounced correctly *’fah*-chee-leh’, and ‘sonata’ pronounced with a ‘t’ not a ‘d’. Beethoven’s Opus 49 was originally published with a French title - ‘Sonates faciles’.
Beethoven my beloved. I definitely think these "Easy Sonatas" are a bit underappreciated amongst the Beethoven sonatas. Nice to hear your analysis.

Really good piece to practice sight reading with! Great as always
We don't mind you covering the heavy stuff.
Those are stuff that is typically inaccessible to us so it is great that you can assist us with those.
Thank you for having a simpler repertoire next to the complex pieces ! Much appreciated by an early intermediate :)

I hadn't thought too much about it before looking into it for this video, but it makes so much sense that it was written earlier, right!
Thank you for the video, a couple of months ago i learned this piece. Nice to have a more in depth video, really enjoyed it :)
Thank you for this wonderful analysis. I’m about to start this work!
Nice vídeo, as always!!! Thanks, I love that❤❤❤

Thank you very much for making a video about this sonata, I really enjoyed it!
Thank you for your clear analysys, I found it very useful

Lovely performance. Thank you.
How about the second movement? I'd love to hear the 2nd movement.
Just noticed your awesome tie and now want to point it out!
Thanks a lot !!
I am currently learning Op. 49 no.1
What a coincidence
Keep doing what you do for us❤
It’d be pretty fun if you did some more Beethoven
I'm working on becoming a beginner so I'll come back to this.

Hola! Tu pones pedal en alguna parte?
May I ask if pedal is needed in these two movements?
Why no 2nd mvt ???
I remember searching a while back if you made a video about this one since i was learning it. Now i already now it, i ain't wathcing it now 🤣🤣🤣
