I never cease to be amazed at how utterly charming Beethoven's music can be, despite the seriousness of his more well known works, even after decades of listening and enjoying. Thanks András Schiff for your ever masterful renditions. Makes me want to try playing it again.

[ardarico]

Awesome. One of my favorite sonatas, played with absolute class.

[normanhall]

Wow, what a venue!! What a blessing to hear a great pianist play Beethoven in this library.

Beautifull interpretation by an great pianist of a wonderful sonata by a marvelous composer in a very elegant library.i love it ❤❤❤

[djtomt]

I am in love with Beethoven, especially this sonata. Now I have heard my favorite interpretation! Fantastic! Beautifully filmed and perfect recording!

[michaelbrodsky]

A wonderful performance of the one of the most beautiful of the sonatas. Especially heartbreaking is that passionate noble unrestrainable ferocious conclusion which emerges from an ostensible leisureliness, from what appears to b a lazy ambling. Many thanks. Most grateful.

[fazergazer]

I noticed that Beethoven’s furrowed brow was eased and an enigmatic smile appeared!❤

[JerryEboy]

What a beautiful sight and sound; it’s perfect union

András Schiff is one of the greatest gift
to humanity.

i always love Schiff's interpretations, even if i like someone else's even more...Schiff has some kind of special touch/ear...i just listened to Lupu's version, and i love them both...

[MichaelTLam]

Underrated sonata in my opinion. Deserves to be as famous as the one right before it. Also want to point out that I like Schiff’s tempo for Mvt II. It is Andante, not Larghississississimo.

This Sonata does so much for my mind and calmness. Thanks.

[DirkdeZwijger]

The development section at 5:12 is just incredible and at 5:30 to 5:45 I found it hard to control myself and not explode to the max while playing lol. Truly epic music!!

[volkerf.sesselmann]

Fantastisches Ambiente mit kongenialen Klängen meisterhaft in Klänge gesetzt !! Großartige Idee ! Ein Genuss.

[GUSTAVOMARZANO]

Maravilloso Musico Genio, muchas gracias Gran Artista !!!!

[Michàel-kon]

Such a wondrous Severely Underated Piano Sonata!!! 😮

[TRIHEDRAL]

Schiff's brings out voices I don't hear other pianists highlight, giving new life to this divine music. For example, the very last two chords in the video: most pianists play the highest line as the melody, G F#. While a very unusual and unique way to end a sonata, it still lacks the power of the full authentic cadence we expect. Schiff emphasizes the C# moving up to D, giving us the very ending we want. The G and F# sound almost like overtones. He has separated the strings from flutes just using very precise voice control!!!

Piano-playing of Classical-music at a library isn't something you see every day
