Beethoven Pathetique Sonata is one of Beethoven's most famous piano sonatas

Sonata no 8 op 13

This Beethoven Piano Sonata No 8 (Pathetique Sonata) was played at the summer recital on June 2, 2013. This is 1st movement of this famous piano sonata which begins with the slow and intense Grave then the exposition in Adagio.

Sorry my Canon Vixia camcorder microphone circuit is starting to fail and it was causing some distorted clipping on some of the louder chords.

Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 8 is a great piano sonata to learn for your repertoire.

We hope you enjoy this performance of Beethoven Pathetique Piano Sonata, one of the best known of the Beethoven piano sonatas.

She will be playing the 2nd movement in the coming year. I actually played the 2nd movement at this same recital, but I'm not sure I want to post the video because there are a couple of flubs. I might just shoot another video at home and post it.

My favorite piano piece. I used to be able to play most of the first and second movements, though nowhere near as good as she can! Very talented 😊
