There is no other musician today who exemplifies and embodies Beethoven’s humanistic philosophy as much as Daniel Barenboim. He lays the foundations for that philosophy and shows us what a sense of humanity means. And there is no other musician who uses the instruments of his art as passionately and as intelligently in pursuit of the social changes that are so vitally necessary. In these 4 chapters Maestro Barenboim will talk about Beethoven, his music and especially his Piano Sonatas with Italian conductor and pianist Giuseppe Mentuccia and give the viewer a great insight of his view on Beethoven.

I've been waiting for another video for years. Thank you!
First video in 2 years!
Glad to see you well.
So good to see you again around here, Baremboim! 👏👏❤❤
The first movement of Op. 109 is special, and so unique among his sonatas!

It is more like Barenboim is conversing with himself :-) Not complainin', love his comments.
Merci beaucoup pour cet échange si intéressant M. Barenboim sur les sonates de Beethoven ! Thank you for this really interessant talk with Giuseppe Mentuccia about Beethoven's Sonatas !
This is great. His Beethoven master classes are brilliant and I wish that he had done one for every single sonata. 💖

I think "His Masters Voice " comes to mind ! I think the most impressive comment from the maestro was l first played these works in 1960 and last year played them in chronological order for the first time. Absolutely absorbing ! Thank you sir !
Welcome back maestro i'd love to see your opinion on chopin's ballades that would be wonderful to hear thanks a lot maestro best regards 🎹👏🙏

A true honor to listen to your thoughts on any subject, but particularly on this beloved man you have helped to bring into so many people's lives. I know his sonatas through your recordings, and always come back to them as to the teachings of a sage. A night or two ago his last sonata was on the radio. In that last movement I hear his farewell to music, and in a way, music's farewell to us. It fades into a silence that is like the entrance to eternity. Of course much has come after that, but none of it seems to encompass so much, say so much that one feels there's nothing left to say. And then from that silence arises that indescribable embodiment of life itself, op.131. Schubert undetstood all too well what the man had done when, after listening to this thing, he asked what else there was for them to compose. Your thoughts on this would be priceless. Thank you for your insight, your time and generosity. Who could hope for better presents this holiday season?
Bienvenido, de nuevo Barenboim !!!! Saludos desde Tucumán.
Espero que continuen estos videos, me gustan demasiado
Gracias Daniel! saludos desde Uruguay!
Gracias maestro.
Waited so long
Danke für dieses neue Video!!! Die Frage nach meinen Lieblingssonaten ist für mich nicht zu beantworten. Da habe ich mehrere Favoriten. Bei Beethovens Symphonien nenne ich aber eindeutig die Nr.V.
Gran maestro mejor persona
..... excelente 👏 gracias
Sir Deniel Barenboim ❤️you are my modern inspiration indeed 🥺🥺🥺
Maestro je vous adore !
One of the most important technical improvements in the piano was the addition of the cast iron plate which was introduced just a few years before Beethoven's death.The plate allowed heavier piano strings tuned at a much higher tension (if you had this amount of tension in an all wood piano, it would implode into itself) which in turn allowed the the vibration of the strings to last longer creating the singing quality we're used to today, If you listen to pianos made prior to the introduction of the plate, not only is the timbre different, but there's much less dynamic range and you're also very aware how quickly the notes die out.
Giuseppe for president!
Very interesting approach which it seems already is an addition to what is accumulated during more than 2 centenaries. But what I want to emphasize in connection with the current activities of Maestro conducting - the "Walz triste" by Sibelius couple days ago sounded unusually promising - the energy put in in order to convince about the best intentions of composer / conductor / orchestra produced the effect of big expectations which will not be missed by everybody including myself. Thank you.
Very nice conversation, thank you. I would like to point out that the ambiguous person you mention who is unable to decide on, or is unable to commit to one path in life, maintains the option and ability to flow in many different directions, just like the ambiguous dissonant note. This can lead to a varied and interesting life, just as the note flows into varied, unexpected and lovely music.
The Baremboin explanation is very interesting but I hope more Giuseppe Mentuccia participation in this video
More, please.
Ah a new video :)
Thank you! (Interesting what is to be seen as a conversation 😅)

A lo largo de estos meses de confinamiento he estado escuchando, sin prisa pero sin pausa, las tres grabaciones que tengo de las 32 sonatas. Pienso que el efecto acumulativo es inexorable: la Op. 111 es la que más me sorprende y me emociona. Hay un momento en que pensé que el pianista se estaba tomando libertades: claramente me pareció escuchar un pasaje jazzoso. Es el genio de Ludwig van Beethoven: anticiparse confiado, alegre y luminoso al porvenir.
I listen to the Waldstein Sonata in 4 movements. I place the Andante Favori after the first movement and keep the mysterious introduction to the last. It makes Opus 53 ten times more symphonically satisfying!
Favorite song Beethoven sonata symphony 5
5:40 It didn't occur to me, but yes, Beethoven could have very much imagined,as he composed, a better piano than what existed in his time.
😍♥️
Thank you Maestro! Is it ever possible to perform opus 120, Diabelli Variations? This is the 250th year since the birth of the Great Master Beethoven, and I believe he was fond of this epic achievement.

Interesting conversation. The one guy gets in a few lines. Barenboim takes over the rest. It's not really a conversation. It's more like a shut up so I have my turn to talk.

Maybe we need something a slightly more detailed and thorough to celebrate Beethoven's anniversary. If you are looking for a deeper insight into some of his piano sonatas, you may want to visit the website "innig-ludwig" (www.innig-ludwig.com/).

If he (Beethoven) just gave names to songs...
Shouldn’t the sonatas for Pianoforte and violin and those for Pianoforte and violoncello also be discussed here as they are first and foremost part of the pianoforte sonata repertoire. That’s how Beethoven would’ve viewed his own compositions for his own instrument.

"Beethoven had in his ears a piano that did not exist at this time". With all respect, Mr Barenboim, I find it quite questionable. Beethoven's musical development in his sonatas goes in pair with the development of the instruments at that time.

When was the last time someone gave a solution to the broken metronome or target speeds? When was the last time Moscheles inegalite was used to perform music?

@roberacevedo8232. Yes I see it’s been three years, but supporting Wim Winters’ channel is a serious mistake and needs to be criticized over and over again. Of course, Wim Winters doesn’t familiarize you woth old written sources that don’t support the theory he himself believes in. Sometimes WW manipulates and censors its listeners. Such a practice is not approved on a scientific level, therefore WW’s research is not always scientific either. AuthenticSound: Bethoven Sonata no 9 opus 14/1 - Historical Tempo Reconstruction. The signature «MatthieuStepec» quote: «Oof, this first movement really falls apart completely. Another great example of how double beat doesn’t work!» Wim Winters,quote: «yeah, how about the fact that in SBT it isn’t even playable». WW double beat tempo first movement: 13:43. Single beat tempo: 6:51 After half an hour on KZread, I got this result: M. Korstick, 5:45. Annie Fischer, 5:50. Igor Levit, 6:05. R. Buchbinder: 6:11. Jumppanen, 6:15. Sokolov, 6:18. Yokoyama 6:31. L Schwizgebel: 6:32. Barenboim, 6:45. All examples with repetition. Because I am banned from writing comments on his channel, I do not get the opportunity to present what I just show you. Moreover - there are several people who are not allowed to write comments on his channel, so important information you will not get to know. Hee is a source from 1817 describing the metronome in single beat tempo: «Thus,[minim]60 Maelzel’s Metronome means, that the minim in the movement to which it is prefixed, should be a second or the sixtieth part of a minute, or that sixty minims should be performed in one minute». I won’t bother you anymore this time, I know it doesn’t help, you prefer to support WW’s manipulations further. But ask yourself, roberacevedo: Are you really such a person who supports manipulations and censorship?

Wich one? Because his accents sound as the one a native spanish speaker in the Rio de la Plata dialect, who moved to Israel at 9 and had to speak hebrew and learnt german as a teen, later french and just then english (wich isn't the one he used the most because german is pretty much the lingua franca in the classical world + where he worked the most) would sound.
Beethoven imagining a piano that didn’t exist at the time? Or is it just that we play Beethoven in a way today that does not reflect what he had in mind 200 years ago? Making us think that this is Beethoven, and that’s the way he would play if he was here with us today. Please Check Wim Winters authentic sound Chanel here on KZread.

Wim Winters & , so called. ‘Authentic Sound ‘ caters for people with limited knowledge or ability in music. It is full of historical inaccuracy, technical inaccuracies & promotes lifeless academic ‘performances ‘ from himself or accomplices posing as ‘historical reconstructions’. He demeans great music, either wilfully or through ignorance, to promote himself. Immediately any historical facts are presented that challenge his beliefs they are deleted & the sender is banned from making any further comments. I know, because I presented historical evidence contradicting his beliefs & discovered my comments were only appearing on my computer (shadow banning). Such fraudulent use of music & history needs to be exposed.

As a composer myself, that is something that me and other composers I know usually do. Unfortunately, there are a lot of limits in writing music so it won't be written perfectly and, also, the idea of attaching my works to historical performances sound terrible because it would limit my work so much. Historical accuracy is overrated and I wish the fact that it is mainstream will die soon, while remaining only for people who are intrested in that specifically.

8LyJu8. Just make the musicians aware of your view at the beginning of all your compositions, it sure will go well. As for Beethoven, we know that he was meticulous about how his compositions were performed. There is nothing wrong with restoring old music, but it becomes difficult when the old sources are interpreted so differently.
