0:38 over here are you explaining Beethoven might be partially hearing impaired, so he had to listen to his own playing by putting his ear near the piano, like in the movie Immortal Beloved 1994? Wow... between 1994 and your playing 2009 is 15 years, but yet between Dec 2009 and now it is about 13 years... how times go by... I think you played the sad and sorrow feeling... and then in 2009, maybe there was not so much sad things in the world, like Covid, war between Russia and Ukraine, and... a lot of aftermath due to Lehman Brothers and subprime loan and now I found many corporations have reduced moral and ethics... not to mention things getting expensive but salary doesn't go up much and many people find it very expensive to live and difficult to buy a house or flat to live in. How would you play this piece today? For this playing, personally I feel some part when Beethoven was sad and felt sorrow, he might play some parts slow and with some small delays, kind of like when a person cries or feel sorrow, they may find themselves not able to continue talking or the sad feeling in the chest is building up and not too ready or difficult to talk
